Create Regular Work SOP
When to Use
- User wants an automated job that repeats on a schedule
- Examples: "每天早上九點幫我總結科技新聞", "每週一寄本週計畫"
Do NOT use for one-time notifications → activate create-reminder instead.
Steps
- Call
get_current_time() to confirm current time and timezone.
- Call
create_regular_work with these parameters:
user_id: the hashed_id from the current session (a 16-character hex string, e.g. c9e4719ba839d6b6). Never the user's display name.session_id: the current session_id.title: short human-readable name for the work (e.g. "每日科技新聞摘要").spec: Full, self-contained instructions the agent needs to execute autonomously (no user context available at run time).cron: 5-part cron expression (minute hour day month weekday).agent_id (optional): Which agent executes — default costaff_agent; pass a specialist name if the task is domain-specific.channel (optional): "telegram" / "discord" / "line". If omitted, the system auto-resolves from the user's IdentityMap.recipient (optional): same as user_id (the hashed_id) when explicitly delivering to the requesting user. If omitted, auto-resolved.
- Confirm to the user: "已加入團隊定期排程，將於每 [schedule] 自動執行。"
Do NOT execute the work immediately — only confirm the schedule is set.
Important: recipient is an internal routing key (a hashed_id), not a human-readable name. Either omit it (let the system auto-resolve) or pass the same hashed_id you got from check_identity / session context.
Cron Reference
| Schedule | Cron expression |
|---|
| Every day at 09:00 | 0 9 * * * |
| Every Monday at 08:00 | 0 8 * * 1 |
| Every weekday at 18:00 | 0 18 * * 1-5 |
| Every hour | 0 * * * * |
Writing a Good spec
The spec must be fully self-contained — no user will be present when it runs:
- State the exact task and output format
- Include any data sources, API names, or file paths
- Specify where to send the result (
channel, recipient)
- Write in the language the agent should use for its output
