FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule and execute deferred actions from a markdown queue?

To schedule deferred actions, you use a timestamped markdown queue where action blocks are parsed, executed when due, and updated. This Skill manages the queue by advancing due dates for recurring tasks and moving completed items to a separate section.

Can I automate recurring task execution using a markdown file?

Yes, you can automate recurring task execution using a markdown file by defining daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or custom intervals. The scheduler checks the queue, executes due actions, and automatically advances the next due date.

Does this task scheduler support one-time actions alongside recurring tasks?

Yes, this task scheduler supports both one-time and recurring actions. It processes the timestamped queue, executes due items, and updates statuses, removing one-time tasks while advancing due dates for recurring ones.

What is the best way to check scheduled tasks and queued actions at session start?

The best way to check queued actions at session start is to run a deferred check command. This operation reads the markdown action queue, processes all overdue work, and marks completed blocks.

When should I not use a deferred action queue for task scheduling?

You should not use a deferred action queue for immediate task execution or general todo list management. It is designed specifically for managing timestamped deferred actions that need reliable future scheduling and execution.
