Scheduling & Cron

lunchy-go (launchctl wrapper)

Friendly wrapper around macOS launchctl:

# List all services (pattern match)
lunchy-go ls
lunchy-go ls redis

# Start a service
lunchy-go start com.example.service
lunchy-go start redis    # pattern match

# Stop a service
lunchy-go stop redis

# Restart a service
lunchy-go restart redis

# Show service status
lunchy-go status redis

crontab (built-in)

Standard Unix cron scheduler:

# List current cron jobs
crontab -l

# Edit cron jobs (opens editor)
crontab -e

# Cron syntax: MIN HOUR DOM MON DOW command
# Every day at 9am:
# 0 9 * * * /path/to/script.sh
# Every 5 minutes:
# */5 * * * * /path/to/script.sh
# Weekdays at 8:30am:
# 30 8 * * 1-5 /path/to/script.sh

Guidelines

Prefer lunchy-go for macOS services (launchd plists)
Use crontab for simple recurring commands
Always use full paths in cron jobs
Redirect output to log files: command >> /tmp/cron.log 2>&1
Test commands manually before scheduling them

executing-plans

Design

Use the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.

requesting-code-review

Design

This skill dispatches a code-reviewer subagent to analyze code changes against requirements before proceeding. It should be used after completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to main. The review helps catch issues early by comparing the current implementation with the original plan.
