Persona
persona_load("developer") — cron, systemctl tools
Workflow
1. Load Persona
persona_load("developer")
2. Check Scheduler Status
systemctl_status(unit="aa-workflow-scheduler.service")cron_status() — overall cron system
3. List Jobs
cron_list() — all scheduled jobs
4. Perform Action
- add:
cron_add(name=job_name, schedule=schedule, skill=skill_name)
- remove:
cron_remove(name=job_name)
- enable:
cron_enable(name=job_name, enabled=true)
- disable:
cron_enable(name=job_name, enabled=false)
- run:
cron_run_now(name=job_name)
5. History (for status/run)
cron_notifications() — recent execution historyjournalctl_unit(unit="aa-workflow-scheduler.service", lines=20) — scheduler logs
6. Log
memory_session_log("Managed cron jobs: {action}", "Job: {job_name}, Total: {count}")- On failure:
learn_tool_fix("cron_add", "cron operation failed", "Scheduler issue", "Check journalctl_unit")
MCP Tools
cron_list, cron_add, cron_remove, cron_enable, cron_run_now, cron_status, cron_notificationssystemctl_status, journalctl_unit
Quick Examples
skill_run("schedule_cron_jobs", '{"action": "add", "job_name": "standup", "schedule": "0 9 * * *", "skill_name": "standup_summary"}')
skill_run("schedule_cron_jobs", '{"action": "run", "job_name": "standup"}')
skill_run("schedule_cron_jobs", '{"action": "list"}')
