Does this require a separate worker process?

Yes, scheduled tasks are typically executed via the 'messenger:consume' command, and the skill provides the necessary Supervisor configuration to manage these processes.

How does the skill handle overlapping task executions?

It includes patterns for using Symfony's Lock component within the Schedule provider to ensure specific tasks do not run concurrently if the previous execution is still active.

Can I use standard CRON expressions with this skill?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for using both standard CRON expressions and human-readable intervals like 'every 5 minutes'.

Which Symfony version is required for the Scheduler component?

The native Symfony Scheduler component requires Symfony 7.1 or higher.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates recurring tasks and scheduled processes within Symfony applications using the native Scheduler component.

About

This skill empowers Claude to architect, implement, and debug recurring tasks using the native Symfony Scheduler component available in version 7.1 and higher. It provides domain-specific guidance for defining schedule providers, configuring diverse trigger types like CRON expressions and intervals, and integrating with Symfony Messenger for robust task execution. The skill also covers advanced production patterns, including stateful schedules using cache, locking mechanisms to prevent execution overlap, and event-based monitoring to ensure your background workflows remain reliable.

Key Features

Set up monitoring and logging via Scheduler event subscribers and Messenger transport configurations.
Implement stateful and locked schedules to prevent overlapping task executions.
21 GitHub stars
Generate native Symfony Schedule providers using the #[AsSchedule] attribute.
Configure complex triggers including CRON expressions, time-based intervals, and timezones.
Develop custom trigger logic for specialized business requirements like business-hour-only tasks.

Use Cases

Synchronizing external API data or inventory feeds at specific recurring intervals.
Automating daily system reports, database cleanups, and session management.
Configuring robust background workers and supervisor scripts for production task scheduling.
