SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of scheduling and managing recurring tasks at specific times or on a regular basis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scheduled Tasks: Automate tasks to run at a future date or time.
  • Recurring Tasks: Set up tasks to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly.
  • Session-Only vs. Durable: Choose between tasks that run only during a single session or those that persist across sessions.

Quick Start

To schedule a task to run every hour, use the command: CronCreate(cron: "0 * * * *", prompt: "Run this task every hour.", recurring: true, durable: false)

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

To schedule recurring tasks using cron syntax, define the time pattern and execution prompt. The system handles both one-time and recurring triggers, enabling precise automation of regular workflows and reminders.

What is the difference between session-only and durable task scheduling?▼

Session-only task scheduling restricts execution to the active session, while durable task scheduling persists tasks across sessions. Choose durable for permanent recurring workflows and session-only for temporary reminders.

Can I automate a one-time task to run at a specific future date?▼

Yes, you can automate a one-time task for a specific future date by setting the recurring parameter to false. This configures the scheduler to execute the prompt only once at the designated time.

How do I set up a task to run every hour automatically?▼

To set up a task to run every hour automatically, use the cron expression "0 * * * *" with your desired prompt. This schedules the workflow to trigger at the start of every hour.
