Can I run tasks in the background?

Yes, the skill includes a daemon mode for the scheduler script that allows it to run as a background process while you work on other things.

What happens if a scheduled task fails?

The scheduler includes error handling that logs the failure and can be configured with a 5-minute timeout to prevent runaway processes.

Does this skill support standard cron expressions?

Yes, it supports standard cron syntax (e.g., 'cron:0 9 * * *') allowing for highly specific recurring schedules like weekdays or specific hours.

How do I receive notifications when a task finishes?

The skill uses native system tools like win10toast for Windows, osascript for macOS, and notify-send for Linux to send desktop alerts.

Can I schedule a task to run just once at a later time?

Yes, you can use the 'once' schedule type followed by a ISO-style datetime to trigger a one-time automated execution.

Automates recurring Claude CLI operations through cron expressions, time intervals, and one-time task scheduling.

The Scheduled Task Manager skill enables Claude to perform autonomous, multi-step operations at specific times or intervals without manual oversight. By orchestrating the Claude CLI, this skill manages a persistent task registry, handles background execution via a daemon scheduler, and provides cross-platform system notifications upon completion. It is the perfect solution for developers who need to bridge the gap between interactive AI assistance and automated background workflows, such as recurring code audits, periodic documentation updates, or scheduled system checks.
