run-without-you
Phase 4 of building a Claude Managed Agent — make it run without you. Turn a graded agent into a recurring scheduled deployment (POSIX-cron), an event-driven curl trigger, or confirmed on-demand use, then finalize the versioned roadmap. Use when the user says "run it every morning", "put it on a schedule", "nightly", "weekly", "automate this", "make it recurring", or when the orchestrator routes phase=run-without-you. deployment_builder.py builds the POST /v1/deployments payload (initial_events must include user.message; optionally nests a user.define_outcome so each firing self-grades); cron_validator.py validates the 5-field cron + IANA timezone and prints the wall-clock DST note; next_directions_writer.py writes NEXT-DIRECTIONS.md. No tool makes API calls — the deployment is created via BYOK curl. Distinct from grade-iterate (the in-session loop) and wrap-up (closeout).

What this skill does
Phase 4 — Run Without You (the recurring loop) A scheduled deployment fires a fresh session on a cron cadence — the agent runs without you. Each firing can carry its own outcome, nesting the bounded grade→iterate loop inside every recurring run. See ../../references/loops-and-workflows.md. Choose the trigger Answer Shape Tool --- --- --- "every morning / weekly / nightly" recurring cron deployment deploymentbuilder.py + cronvalidator.py "when X happens" event-driven curl (documented, not scheduled) deploymentbuilder.py (message only) "only when I ask" on-demand (no deployment) none — just re-send a user.message Workflow (recurring) 1. Validate the schedule. Invalid cron/timezone → exit 1. Read the DST note: wall-clock semantics mean spring-forward times are skipped and fall-back times fire twice — avoid 02:00–03:00 in DST zones if exactly-once matters. 2. Build the deployment payload. --nest-outcome includes the rubric so each firing self-grades. The tool prints the BYOK curl to create it and to test it once with the manual run endpoint before trusting the schedule. 3. Test before you trust. Fire one manual run, read the verdict, only then leave the cron in place. Pin the agent version in the deployment once it passes. 4. Finalize the roadmap. 5. Advance + hand to wrap-up. goalstate.py set --phase wrap-up, then invoke the wrap-up skill. Hard rules Test with a manual run first. Never commit a schedule you haven't fired once. Safety rails on by default. alwaysask MCP, limited networking where you can, readonly untrusted memory, maxiterations per firing, workspace spend limit. There is no spend cap inside CMA. DST is wall-clock. Surface the note; pick safe times. ≤1,000 deployments/org. Forcing-question library (recommend + cite) 1. "Cadence, event, or on-request?" Recommend: on-request v0 → cadence once graded. Cite: loops-and-workflows.md. 2. "Should each firing self-grade?" Recommend: yes — nest the outcome. Cite: loops-and-workflows.md (nesting rule). 3. …
