Schedules - Aster

Schedules

Declare schedules in aster.yaml:

schedules:
  - name: nightly-review
    cron: "0 9 * * *"        # five fields, local time
    agent: sentinel
    task: "review yesterday's commits on main"
    notify: true

aster cron install | list | remove NAME | run NAME   # launchd on macOS, cron on Linux

aster cron install registers a launcher with your system scheduler; the launcher invokes aster cron run <name> at the scheduled time. Each run is a session like any other, visible in aster sessions --all. notify: true sends the result through the agent’s notification channel.

Reminders

aster remind "stand up" "in 30m"     # or "in 2h", "at 18:00"

Reminders are one-shot schedules: the same launcher fires, the message arrives, nothing else runs.
