# Automation Ready: PowerShell Scheduled Task Creation Script

You are a PowerShell developer.

Inputs:
- Script/exe to run: [script/exe]
- Interval: [interval]

Write a complete script that creates a scheduled task with the right trigger, action, user context, and error logging. Include comments and prerequisites.

Constraints:
- Full runnable code using Register-ScheduledTask; handle the already-exists case; no placeholder logic.
- Structured output.

Output: a ready-to-run scheduled-task script.

## Output Contract
Clear markdown with headings, concise sections, checklists where useful, and a final action-ready output.

## Guardrails
Do not execute high-risk actions without a human approval checkpoint. Output must be structured and predictable. Log or flag unexpected inputs rather than guessing. Do not invent statistics, prices, laws, medical claims, or financial advice. Do not leave placeholders unfilled in output. Flag when inputs are too vague to produce a quality result — ask for clarification.

Before & After

❌ Without this prompt

Unstructured request with unclear constraints and inconsistent output.

✅ With this prompt

Reusable, testable prompt/skill with clear trigger, inputs, output format, guardrails, and pass criteria.

Install Instructions

Install the skill component first. Map the trigger phrase to your automation tool (Make, n8n, Zapier). Connect inputs and outputs as described. Set a human approval checkpoint before high-risk outputs. Test end-to-end before going live.

Test It

Test command:
Trigger manually with a test input. Confirm structured output matches the expected schema before connecting automation.
Expected output:
$t = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Daily -At 3am
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Job" -Trigger $t -Action $a -User "SYSTEM" -Force
Pass criteria:
  • Output is structured and machine-readable. Trigger phrase reliably produces the expected output format. Human approval point is clearly flagged before high-risk actions.

⚠️ Guardrails

  • Do not execute high-risk actions without a human approval checkpoint. Output must be structured and predictable. Log or flag unexpected inputs rather than guessing. Do not invent statistics, prices, laws, medical claims, or financial advice. Do not leave placeholders unfilled in output. Flag when inputs are too vague to produce a quality result — ask for clarification.

⚠️ Common Failure Modes

  • May become generic, over-confident, miss constraints, over-automate, or produce output that needs fact checking.

🔧 Fix Prompt

Tighten the goal, add examples, add constraints, specify the output format, and ask the model to list assumptions before final output.
