Stay accountable on a long mission by scheduling a cron boss that re-prompts your own session on a fixed local-time schedule. Trigger for durable check-ins - 'cron a status report', 'wake me on a schedule', 're-prompt my session periodically', 'mission check-in boss'.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# pb-boss-checkins — a cron boss re-prompts my own session
## Goal
A long mission outlives your attention. Install a cron boss that fires on a
local-time schedule and re-prompts YOUR OWN session with a status question,
so every tick forces a real report: tasks done, children alive, blockers,
next action. Delete the boss when the mission ends.
Prerequisites (reference by name): `ap-cron`, `ap-lifecycle`, `ap-tasks`,
`ap-spawn-agent` (only for the `agent`-kind variant). The family map is the
`agentproto` skill; the `supervise-long-missions` group covers the wider
supervision playbook.
## Steps
### 1. Get your own session id
The boss targets a session id, so know yours (from your spawn descriptor or
`session_list {q:'<label>', excludeNoise:true, limit:10}` on the daemon).
### 2. Create the boss
```
cron_create({
schedule: '30 4 * * *',
action: {
kind: 'prompt-session',
sessionId: '<my session id>',
prompt: 'report status: tasks done? agents alive? blockers? next action?'
}
})
```
Five-field cron in LOCAL time: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week.
The response returns the job id and `nextRunAt` — note both. A morning tick

How to install
mdr add agentproto/ts/pb-boss-checkins@sha256:53285ea77c0210d8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.ab367ec, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
