How should I specify public holidays and make-up workdays in a scheduled Buda task?

Best pattern: run every day (with an explicit timezone), and at the start of each run decide workday vs off-day from a holiday/make-up calendar — don’t assume Mon–Fri cron knows your legal calendar.

(Diagram: daily schedule → calendar gate → briefing only on workdays.)

Suggested steps

1. Create the scheduled task

In Buda: Space settings → Automations (or ask the agent via the Automations Skill). Use a daily cron at your briefing time with timezone Asia/Shanghai (or your team’s zone). Avoid “weekdays only” if you have weekend make-up workdays — those would never fire.

1. Put a calendar check at the top of the task prompt

• Read today’s date in that timezone;
• Load a public holiday/make-up feed for your country, or a team calendar file you maintain;
• Team exceptions override the public feed;
• If today is off → exit quietly (no briefing, no channel noise); if workday → continue.

1. Test with Run now on a known holiday and a make-up workday before relying on it.
2. Optional: package the calendar rules in a Skill so every scheduled briefing shares the same gate.

How to confirm

• Schedule shows daily + correct timezone (not only Mon–Fri).
• On a public holiday the run history is quiet/skipped by design; on a make-up workday you get a briefing.
• Prompt/Skill text names the calendar source explicitly.

Boundaries

• Standard cron cannot encode statutory holidays; the task logic must.
• Don’t expect the model to “know” your company days off without a file or feed.
• Plan limits (cron availability, min interval) depend on your Buda plan — check Automations docs if cron isn’t offered.
