Schedule recurring or one-shot jobs on the agentproto daemon — cron_create with command, agent, or prompt-session actions, cron_list to inspect, cron_run to test-fire, cron_delete to remove. Trigger when asked for cron jobs, scheduled agent runs, nightly check-ins, one-shot timers, or durable session re-pings.
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
# ap-cron
## When to use
- Work must run on a schedule with nobody prompting it (nightly audits, periodic sweeps).
- A long-running mission needs periodic check-ins that keep its context alive.
- You want a delayed one-shot action ("in 20 minutes, poke the deploy").
## Create a job
`cron_create` takes a 5-field cron expression in **local time** and exactly one action. `label` is the human-readable name; `recurring` defaults to `true`.
```json
{
"schedule": "0 9 * * 1-5",
"label": "morning-standup",
"action": {
"kind": "agent",
"adapter": "claude-code",
"prompt": "Summarize overnight commits and draft the day's priority list.",
"cwd": "/repo",
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-5"
}
}
```
Three action kinds:
- **command** — run an allowlisted executable. `command` is the basename (`git`, not `/usr/bin/git`) and must be listed in `<workspace>/.agentproto/allowed-commands.json`.
```json
{
"schedule": "*/30 * * * *",
"label": "health-check",
"action": { "kind": "command", "command": "curl", "args": ["-fsS", "http://localhost:8080/health"], "cwd": ".", "timeoutMs": 15000 }
}
```

How to install
mdr add agentproto/ts/ap-cron@sha256:39400e9d160de519The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.d9a8be3, 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.
