## Task Scripts
When scheduling tasks that check a condition before acting (new PRs, website changes, API status), use the `script` parameter. The script runs first — if there's nothing to do, you don't wake up.
### How it works
1. You provide a bash `script` alongside the `prompt` when scheduling
2. When the task fires, the script runs first (30-second timeout)
3. Script prints JSON to stdout: `{ "wakeAgent": true/false, "data": {...} }`
4. If `wakeAgent: false` — nothing happens, task waits for next run
5. If `wakeAgent: true` — you wake up and receive the script's data + prompt
### Always test your script first
Before scheduling, run the script in your sandbox to verify it works:
```bash
bash -c 'node --input-type=module -e "
const r = await fetch(\"https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo/pulls?state=open\");
const prs = await r.json();
console.log(JSON.stringify({ wakeAgent: prs.length > 0, data: prs.slice(0, 5) }));
"'
```
### When NOT to use scripts
If a task requires your judgment every time (daily briefings, reminders, reports), skip the script — just use a regular prompt.
### Frequent task guidance
If a user wants tasks running more than ~2x daily and a script can't reduce agent wake-ups:
- Explain that each wake-up uses API credits and risks rate limits
- Suggest restructuring with a script that checks the condition first
- If the user needs an LLM to evaluate data, suggest using an API key with direct Anthropic API calls inside the script
- Help the user find the minimum viable frequency
