Kairos Lite

Use this skill when you want proactive behavior, but not a full always-on autonomous platform.

Use It For

  • scheduled repo patrols
  • unattended follow-up checks
  • short user-facing briefs after background work
  • proactive jobs with expiry

Avoid It For

  • unrestricted permanent daemons
  • hidden background mutation without explicit user opt-in
  • complex host-specific notification plumbing as an MVP

Quick Start

Create a portable proactive job spec:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/job_spec.py \
  --name "daily-repo-check" \
  --prompt "Summarize risky changes in the repo" \
  --schedule "0 9 * * 1-5"

Then use the prompt in references/prompt-template.md.

Minimum Building Blocks

  • sleep or wait
  • a schedule or automation trigger
  • a brief output channel
  • expiry or renewal
