Turn work into a scheduled task that runs unattended — "every morning", "each Friday", "remind me in an hour", "run this weekly" — or adjust an existing schedule. Use whenever the operator wants something recurring, delayed, or re-timed.
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
# Scheduling recurring work
protoAgent's scheduler runs full agent turns on a cadence — any cron
expression, or a one-shot at an ISO timestamp. The tools: `schedule_task`,
`list_schedules`, `cancel_schedule`.
## Changing an existing task
Rescheduling, rewording, pausing: find it with `list_schedules`, then cancel
and re-create with the revised prompt/cadence. Confirm which task before
touching anything if more than one could match.
## Creating a new task — distill the session
You are compressing this conversation into a prompt that will run **cold**,
with no access to anything said here. The discipline:
1. **Identify the repeatable core.** Not "what did we do today" but "what
should happen every time".
2. **Write a self-contained prompt.** Second-person imperative ("Check …",
"Compile …", "Save the report to …"). Include every file path, URL,
account, tool name, and output convention it needs; convert every
relative reference ("this folder", "like last time") into an absolute
one. Include what *done* looks like and any preferences the operator
stated.
3. **Name it** short and kebab-case: `daily-inbox-digest`,
`friday-metrics-rollup`.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.42516ad, 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.
