Task Trigger FAQs

Question 1

What types of tasks can Task Trigger automate?

Accepted Answer

Task Trigger supports two main types of automation: time-based scheduling using standard cron expressions (e.g., 'run daily at 9am') and event-driven execution by watching files or directories for create, modify, delete, or move events.

Question 2

Can I manage tasks and watch for file changes simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Task Trigger allows you to register both scheduled tasks and file watchers concurrently. The daemon manages both types of triggers, executing associated prompts and CLI commands while ensuring persistence even if the agent disconnects.

Question 3

Is Task Trigger cross-platform and easy to install?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Task Trigger is a single, cross-platform Rust binary with no runtime dependencies. It offers a quick install script, installation via Cargo, and robust daemon management including system service installation (systemd/launchd) for persistent execution across reboots.

Question 4

How does Task Trigger ensure reliable task execution?

Accepted Answer

It includes built-in features such as task locking to prevent concurrent runs, configurable timeout mechanisms for agent responses, and anti-recursion logic for watchers. All task definitions and execution logs are persistently stored in an internal SQLite database.

Question 5

What is Task Trigger and how does it help AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Task Trigger is a self-contained daemon that empowers AI agents to autonomously schedule, monitor, and execute tasks without manual scripting. It enables agents to define time-based (cron) or event-driven (file watcher) tasks using natural language, simplifying complex automation.
