Hermes Scheduler

Schedule recurring agent tasks on cron/interval/one-shot schedules — start with /hermes-scheduler. Triggers: 'run this every 30m', 'schedule a daily 9am job', 'cron job that invokes Claude Code', 'background scheduler for agent tasks'. A standalone Python daemon that runs natural-language jobs via `claude --print`, persists jobs across restarts, and saves per-run output. Inspired by NousResearch/hermes-agent. NOT for one-off tasks you can run now, NOT a system-cron/systemd replacement, and NOT for orchestrating multi-agent swarms.

Hermes Scheduler

Background cron scheduler that runs agent tasks on schedule. Jobs are defined in natural language, executed via claude --print, and output is saved per-run. Jobs persist across restarts.

Quick start

The scheduler is a single baked binary, hermes-scheduler (on PATH from the agentbox-ops crate).

hermes-scheduler start                     # start daemon (60s tick)
hermes-scheduler add \
  --prompt "check disk usage and alert if over 80%" \
  --schedule "every 30m" --name "disk-monitor"
hermes-scheduler list                       # list jobs
hermes-scheduler status                     # daemon status

Schedules accept durations (30m, one-shot), intervals (every 2h), cron (0 9 * * *), or ISO timestamps (2026-04-07T09:00).

Runtime state lives under ~/.claude/scheduler/ (jobs, output, PID) and is created by the daemon on first run.
