After installing the [Skill](/en/tools/wings/docs/skill), ask your agent to build the job.
Describe the outcome, services, timing, and how to check the result.

## Example requests

> Every morning at 09:00 Asia/Tokyo, summarize my GitHub issues and send them to Slack. Show me the summary without posting first. Check the Connection permissions and destination before adding the Schedule.

> Create an API Trigger for Stripe webhooks. Verify signatures against the original body. Prevent duplicate processing. I will approve creation in the Console.

> Build a Web App that displays notes from a Database. People I share it with should only read; only the owner should edit. Confirm who to share it with before adding anyone.

## Provide credentials safely

Enter private values through Connection or Secret inputs, never chat.
Include a time zone for scheduled work.
For a job that writes to an external service, explain what should happen if the same action runs twice.

## Check the finished work

When the agent reports success, check the [Run result](/en/tools/wings/docs/history-logs).
If the job posts to an external service, check that service too.
You can also review [usage](/en/tools/wings/docs/plans-limits).
Keep the Schedule disabled until the Handler works as intended.
