FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule recurring tasks using cron expressions?▼

You can schedule recurring tasks by providing a cron expression or regular interval to define the execution frequency. The Skill manages the full lifecycle, supporting persistent storage and execution logs for all scheduled cron jobs.

Can I schedule a shell command to run at a specific ISO timestamp?▼

Yes, you can schedule one-time shell command execution at a precise future date and time using ISO timestamps. The task runner supports environment variable integration to configure the shell execution context.

How do I pause or cancel a scheduled task?▼

You can manage the task lifecycle by pausing, resuming, canceling, or updating scheduled tasks directly. Task state and execution logs are tracked persistently within the piclaw data directory for reliable management.

What is the difference between scheduling an agent task and a shell task?▼

Scheduling an agent task executes a specified prompt at a target time, while scheduling a shell task runs a direct shell command. Both support cron intervals or ISO timestamps and integrate environment variables.

Do I need any external dependencies to automate task scheduling?▼

No external dependencies are required to automate task scheduling. The Skill operates independently, storing scheduled tasks and execution logs persistently within the local piclaw data directory for reliable automation.
