# Automations

The Automations page lets users install agent skills, enable them, and configure run schedules. Skills run autonomously in the background.

## Automation Card

Each skill in the Automations page shows:

| Field        | Description                   |
| ------------ | ----------------------------- |
| **Name**     | Skill display name            |
| **Status**   | Running / Done / Error / Idle |
| **Toggle**   | Enable/disable the skill      |
| **Interval** | How often it runs (minutes)   |
| **Last Run** | Timestamp of last execution   |
| **Run Now**  | Manually trigger the skill    |

***

## Enable/Disable a Skill

Toggling a skill calls:

```typescript
api.userNotifications.toggleResearchSkill({ userId, enabled })
```

This writes to `userSkillConfig`:

```
skillName: "noel-research"
enabled: true/false
userId: ...
config: { interval: 30 }
```

***

## Manual Trigger

"Run Now" button triggers an on-demand execution. For Noel Research, this starts a fresh 8-hour shift immediately.

For Gloria and CoinGecko, it fires a single data fetch and logs the result to `agentRuns`.

***

## Scheduled Execution

Two background crons handle automatic execution:

| Cron                    | Interval    | Handler                                                    |
| ----------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `collect-research-data` | Every 5 min | Checks active shift jobs, collects data when 30min elapsed |
| `send-research-reports` | Every 5 min | Checks if interim/final report is due, generates and sends |

Crons only do work if there are active research jobs. No active jobs = no API calls, no cost.

## Research-Enabled Chat

When "Noel Research" skill is enabled in Automations, every chat message to Noel automatically runs the research orchestrator first:

```
User sends message
      │
      ▼
Orchestrator runs (CoinGecko + Grok + Bankr + Claude synthesis)
      │
      ▼
Research context injected into system prompt
      │
      ▼
Noel responds with live market context
      │
      ▼
Chat shows research block + Noel's answer
```

This makes every conversation data-fresh without the user having to trigger research manually.
