What problem does it solve?

Manage future timed or periodic tasks by creating and controlling cron jobs for automated actions, ensuring every operation is tied to a specific agent context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schedule tasks that run at a future time or on a recurring basis across channels and targets.
  • Create, list, view, pause/resume, and delete cron jobs with explicit agent-id to avoid misrouting.
  • Support two task types (text and agent) and require time/cron, channel, target-user, target-session for creation, enabling reminders and automated checks.

Quick Start

Create a scheduled job with qwenpaw cron create, providing --agent-id and all required flags.

Frequently Asked Questions about cron

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule future tasks and recurring cron jobs for an automated workflow?

To schedule future tasks, you create cron jobs by providing a time or cron expression, channel, target-user, and target-session. This automates actions like reminders and checks across specified targets.

How do I list, pause, and delete scheduled cron jobs for task management?

You manage scheduled cron jobs by listing, inspecting, pausing, resuming, and deleting tasks. Every management command requires an explicit agent-id to ensure operations target the correct agent context.

What information do I need to create a cron job for task automation?

Creating a cron job requires an explicit agent-id, a time or cron expression, a channel, target-user, and target-session. You also select a task type of either text or agent during creation.

Why does my scheduled task fail to create without an explicit agent-id?

Scheduled task creation fails without an explicit agent-id because the system enforces this flag on all commands. This requirement prevents misrouting by tying every cron job to a specific agent context.

Can I schedule automated recurring checks and reminders across different channels?

Yes, you can schedule recurring checks and reminders across different channels and targets. By setting a cron expression and specifying the channel with target-session details, tasks automate on a recurring basis.

What is the difference between text and agent task types when scheduling cron jobs?

When scheduling cron jobs, text and agent are the two supported task types. The metadata does not detail the internal differences, but both require time, channel, target-user, and target-session for creation.
