List launchd jobs that are not from Apple and create user launchd jobs. Use when the user says "show me my jobs", "show my launchd jobs", asks for non-Apple launchd jobs, or wants to create a one-time or recurring launchd job.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Create a one-time job:

    line 18
  2. Distinctive:

    Create a recurring job:

    line 24
  3. Very specific:

    Use one of: --daily, --weekly, --monthly, or --interval.

    line 47
  4. Very specific:

    If the user wants to include additional Apple-like prefixes, update the regex in scripts/show_jobs.sh.

    line 55

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Launchd Non-Apple Jobs

Overview

Show the current launchd job list filtered to non-Apple labels, and create user LaunchAgents (GUI domain) for one-time or recurring schedules.

Quick Start

  • List non-Apple jobs:
scripts/show_jobs.sh
  • Create a one-time job:
scripts/create_job.sh --label "com.example.myjob" --command "echo hello" --once "2026-02-05 13:30"
  • Create a recurring job:
scripts/create_job.sh --label "com.example.myjob" --command "echo hello" --daily "09:00"
  • Remove a job:
scripts/delete_job.sh --label "com.example.myjob"

Tasks

Show non-Apple jobs

  • Run scripts/show_jobs.sh.
  • The output keeps the header and only non-Apple labels.

Create a one-time job

  • Use --once "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM".
  • The job schedules via StartCalendarInterval and self-removes after the first run.

Create a recurring job

  • Use one of: --daily, --weekly, --monthly, or --interval.
  • The job uses StartCalendarInterval (or StartInterval) and remains installed until removed.

Remove a job

  • Run scripts/delete_job.sh --label "<label>".
  • This unloads the job and moves the plist (and one-time wrapper, if present) to Trash.

Customize the filter (optional)

  • If the user wants to include additional Apple-like prefixes, update the regex in scripts/show_jobs.sh.

Resources

scripts/

  • show_jobs.sh: Launches launchctl list and filters out Apple jobs.
  • create_job.sh: Creates a user LaunchAgent for one-time or recurring schedules.
  • delete_job.sh: Unloads and removes a user LaunchAgent by label.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
