Cron Schedule

Turns persistent background workers into actual cron jobs that survive session restarts. You get recommended schedules for common tasks like security audits every 15 minutes or documentation updates every 2 hours, plus a clear decision matrix: use /loop for active development work that benefits from cache awareness, use CronCreate for CI and monitoring tasks that need to keep running when you're not there. The tool wraps CronCreate, CronList, and CronDelete with worker-dispatch integration, so you can set up something like a test coverage analyzer that checks gaps every 15 minutes without babysitting it. Honestly fills a gap between ephemeral dev loops and proper infrastructure automation.

Use CronCreate for a worker that should fire on a clock while this Claude Code session is open:

CronCreate({ cron: "*/15 * * * *", prompt: "Dispatch the audit worker with mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_worker-dispatch({ trigger: \"audit\" }) and report anything critical", recurring: true })

The parameters are cron (five-field expression), prompt and recurring. A schedule: field does not exist. These jobs live in the session: they stop when you close it, and recurring jobs expire on their own after 7 days. Cancel one sooner with CronDelete (find its id with CronList). For a worker that must keep running after the session ends, use /schedule (cloud routines) or an OS scheduler (cron, systemd timer) that calls npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks worker dispatch --trigger audit.
