You schedule recurring agent tasks by creating cron jobs that execute fresh agent sessions on a gateway scheduler and deliver results back to your originating chat or configured platforms. This eliminates manual repetition for routine workflows.

You can pause and resume scheduled cronjobs using the cronjob tool without losing your configuration. The tool supports full lifecycle management, allowing you to create, list, pause, resume, run, and remove recurring jobs as needed.

The best way to automate daily wiki digests and hourly health checks is using cron-based scheduling to trigger fresh agent sessions. This approach delivers automated routine task results directly back to your configured platforms.

The cronjob tool includes a recursion guard to prevent runaway scheduling and uses workdir scoping to maintain context. These safety features ensure automated recurring workflows remain controlled and do not execute indefinitely.

You scope recurring workflows to a specific working directory using the workdir scoping feature during cronjob creation. This maintains context for the scheduled agent session and prevents it from affecting unrelated files or processes.

A gateway scheduler automates recurring agent tasks on a fixed cadence, eliminating manual repetition. It executes fresh agent sessions for routine jobs like nightly memory consolidation and weekly skill audits, then delivers results back to your chat.
