## What problem does it solve? Create, cancel, and manage periodic (cron) and one-shot (deferred) background tasks to automate time-based work.
## Core Features & Use Cases
### Quick Start Define a daily cron task by calling schedule_periodic with a cron expression, or schedule a one-time task with schedule_deferred.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To schedule deferred tasks, call schedule_deferred with a specific run_at time. The system validates that the scheduled time is in the future before creating the delayed job for your custom task.
Built-in task kinds include memory_cleanup, skill_refresh, health_check, and update_check. These automate routine maintenance actions across local tools and services when scheduled periodically or deferred.
Yes, you can cancel a scheduled task to stop future executions. The cancellation management feature removes both periodic cron jobs and one-shot deferred tasks from the active queue.
Periodic scheduling creates recurring jobs using cron expressions, while deferred scheduling creates one-shot delayed jobs using a run_at format. Both automate time-based work but differ in execution frequency.
