SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Users who want recurring reminders, periodic web digests, or delayed one-off actions in Clowder AI need a guided way to register, preview, and manage scheduled tasks without manually writing cron expressions or calling low-level APIs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Conversational Task Registration: A 4-step flow (intent detection, template matching, preview confirmation, registration) using MCP tools like cat_cafe_preview_scheduled_task and cat_cafe_register_scheduled_task.
  • Recurring and One-Time Triggers: Supports cron expressions, fixed intervals, and one-shot delayMs triggers that auto-retire after firing and survive restarts via normalized fireAt timestamps.
  • Built-in Templates: reminder, web-digest (webpage summarization), and repo-activity (GitHub issue/PR tracking) templates with automatic target cat injection.
  • Use Case: A user says "remind me to drink water every day at 9am" — the skill matches the reminder template, previews the cron trigger 0 9 * * *, and registers the task after user confirmation.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to set up a scheduled task, for example: remind me every morning at 9am to check my backlog.

Frequently Asked Questions about schedule-tasks

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule a recurring reminder in Clowder AI?▼

State your intent in conversation, such as "remind me every day at 9am". The skill matches the reminder template, previews the cron trigger for your confirmation, then registers the task via cat_cafe_register_scheduled_task.

How do I create a one-time delayed task instead of a recurring one?▼

Use a phrase like "in 5 minutes" or "2 hours later". The skill creates a once trigger with delayMs, which fires a single time and then automatically retires from both the runtime and SQLite storage.

What scheduled task templates are available?▼

Three templates exist: reminder for timed wake-ups with a message, web-digest for periodic webpage summarization, and repo-activity for tracking new GitHub issues and pull requests on a repository.

Can I pause or manually trigger a scheduled task?▼

Pausing, resuming, and manual triggering are only available through the SchedulePanel UI in the Workspace scheduling tab. There is currently no MCP tool for these operations; deletion uses cat_cafe_remove_scheduled_task.

What is the difference between this skill and the schedule skill?▼

This skill handles local Clowder AI scheduled tasks that wake a cat at trigger time. The separate schedule skill targets cloud remote-agent scheduling, which is a different use case and should not be used for local reminders.
