Recurring / scheduled tasks

[h0x91b]

Feature request

Support for recurring (scheduled) tasks — tasks that run automatically on a schedule to perform maintenance or monitoring activities.

Use cases (from community feedback)

• Periodically check that documentation is up to date
• Run repo health checks (e.g., lint, dependency audit)
• Monitor system health metrics
• Any cron-like automation that spawns an agent on a schedule

Possible approach

• Allow users to define a schedule (cron expression or simple interval) for a task template
• On trigger, the system creates a new task (with worktree + agent) from the template
• Agent runs the configured prompt, reports results, and the task auto-completes (or stays open if issues are found)

Open questions

• Should recurring tasks reuse the same worktree or create a fresh one each time?
• How to handle overlapping runs (previous run still in progress)?
• Should results be aggregated somewhere (dashboard, notes, notifications)?
• Integration with external schedulers (cron, launchd) vs. built-in scheduler?
