## Description

Use when a graded managed agent should run on a schedule, on an event trigger or on demand ('run it every morning'). Validates cron with cron_validator.py and builds the deployment with deployment_builder.py.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# 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`](../../references/loops-and-workflows.md).

## Choose the trigger

| Answer | Shape | Tool |
|---|---|---|
| "every morning / weekly / nightly" | recurring cron deployment | `deployment_builder.py` + `cron_validator.py` |
| "when X happens" | event-driven curl (documented, not scheduled) | `deployment_builder.py` (message only) |
| "only when I ask" | on-demand (no deployment) | none, just re-send a `user.message` |
