Use the cron tool to schedule reminders or recurring tasks.
Three Modes
- Reminder - message is sent directly to user
- Task - message is a task description, agent executes and sends result
- One-time - runs once at a specific time, then auto-deletes
Examples
Fixed reminder:
cron(action="add", message="Time to take a break!", every_seconds=1200)Dynamic task (agent executes each time):
cron(action="add", message="Check HKUDS/vikingbot GitHub stars and report", every_seconds=600)One-time scheduled task (compute ISO datetime from current time):
cron(action="add", message="Remind me about the meeting", at="<ISO datetime>")List/remove:
cron(action="list")
cron(action="remove", job_id="abc123")Time Expressions
