Manage recurring tasks in the local Argus daemon via its HTTP API. Use when the user wants to schedule a task locally in argus, create a cron-driven task, fire X every weekday/hour/morning, set up a recurring agent that needs local filesystem access (logs in ~/.argus, local databases, dotfiles), list or update existing argus schedules, or run an argus schedule now. Distinct from /schedule, which creates remote cloud routines without local access.

From the source SKILL.md

Create, list, update, run-now, or enable/disable a recurring task in the local Argus daemon. Argus exposes full schedule CRUD over its HTTP API on http://localhost:7743. The cron tick fires the task on the local machine, so the scheduled agent has access to ~/.argus, the dotfiles repo, and any other local resource — unlike the remote /schedule skill, whose routines run in the Anthropic cloud and cannot read the user's filesystem.

What this skill does

Argus Schedule is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the automation sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/argus-schedule/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user wants to schedule a task locally in argus, create a cron-driven task, fire X every weekday/hour/morning, set up a recurring agent that needs local filesystem access (logs in ~/.argus, local databases, dotfiles), list or update existing argus schedules, or run an argus schedule now.
