SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Use the always-on-claude schedule bridge to submit commands from the container to the host. The host validates requests, submits them to atd, and later runs the command inside the claude-dev container with docker compose exec.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schedule one-off or recurring commands to run on the host from within a Claude container session.
  • Supports at-based (one-time) and cron-style (recurring) schedules, with optional working directory and command, and status/logs retrieval.
  • Safe, with host validation and guidance to avoid unsafe actions (no host shell access when not allowed).

Quick Start

Run the schedule bridge to enqueue a one-off or recurring job from your container session.

How do I retrieve the status and logs of a scheduled container session command?▼

You can retrieve the status and logs of scheduled container session commands by querying the schedule bridge, which tracks the execution results of tasks submitted to the host.

Is it safe to allow container sessions to schedule and execute commands on the host?▼

Yes, the host scheduling bridge validates requests and provides guidance to avoid unsafe actions, ensuring no host shell access is allowed when not permitted.

How do I set up recurring overnight automation tasks from my Claude container?▼

You can set up recurring overnight automation by submitting cron-style schedules through the schedule bridge, which enqueues the recurring job on the host to run inside the container.
