Cron orchestrator

Define triggers and tasks in a single YAML manifest. One trigger (e.g. midnight) runs multiple tasks in sequence; supports on-boot with delay. Tooling: create, remove, reorder, enable/disable, install (generate crontab fragment).

Manifest (cron/manifest.yaml)

triggers:
  midnight-utc:
    schedule: "0 0 * * *"
  after-boot:
    on_boot_delay_minutes: 5
tasks:
  - id: snapshot-daily
    trigger: midnight-utc
    sequence_order: 1
    command: "python3 _localsetup/skills/localsetup-system-info/scripts/system_snapshot.py --output-basename \"reports/system-snapshots/$(hostname)/$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ)\""
    enabled: true

Triggers: schedule = cron expression; on_boot_delay_minutes = run N minutes after reboot (single @reboot + sleep).
Tasks: trigger, sequence_order (order within trigger), command (one line, shell-expanded), enabled.

Commands (from repo root)

All use --manifest cron/manifest.yaml (default).

Command	Purpose
`validate`	Check manifest and trigger refs
`list` [--trigger NAME]	List tasks (optionally for one trigger)
`add-task --trigger NAME --command "..."` [--sequence-order N] [--id ID]	Add task
`remove-task --id ID` or `--trigger NAME`	Remove by id or all for trigger
`reorder --trigger NAME --order id1,id2,id3`	Set run order for that trigger
`enable --id ID` / `disable --id ID`	Toggle task
`install` [--repo-root PATH] [--output PATH]	Generate crontab fragment (or write to file)

Runner (used by cron): run_trigger.py --manifest PATH --repo-root PATH TRIGGER runs that trigger's tasks in sequence.

Patterns for agents

Add a daily snapshot at midnight: add-task --trigger midnight-utc --command "python3 _localsetup/skills/localsetup-system-info/scripts/system_snapshot.py --output-basename \"reports/system-snapshots/$(hostname)/$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ)\"".
Add on-boot trigger: In manifest, add trigger with on_boot_delay_minutes: 5; then add tasks to it.
Reorder: reorder --trigger midnight-utc --order snapshot-daily,cleanup,notify.
Remove one task: remove-task --id snapshot-daily. Remove all for a trigger: remove-task --trigger midnight-utc.
Apply cron: Run install --output cron/crontab.generated, then crontab cron/crontab.generated or merge into existing crontab.

One trigger (e.g. midnight) runs multiple tasks in sequence; supports on-boot with delay. Tooling: create, remove, reorder, enable/disable, install (generate crontab fragment). ## Manifest (cron/manifest.yaml) ```yaml triggers: midnight-utc: schedule: "0 0 * * *" after-boot: on_boot_delay_minutes: 5 tasks: - id: snapshot-daily trigger: midnight-utc sequence_order: 1 command: "python3 _localsetup/skills/localsetup-system-info/scripts/system_snapshot.py --output-basename \"reports/system-snapshots/$(hostname)/$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ)\"" enabled: true ``` - **Triggers:** `schedule` = cron expression; `on_boot_delay_minutes` = run N minutes after reboot (single @reboot + sleep). - **Tasks:** `trigger`, `sequence_order` (order within trigger), `command` (one line, shell-expanded), `enabled`. ## Commands (from repo root) All use `--manifest cron/manifest.yaml` (default). | Command | Purpose | |---------|---------| | `validate` | Check manifest and trigger refs | | `list` [--trigger NAME] | List tasks (optionally for one trigger) | | `add-task --trigger NAME --command "..."` [--sequence-order N] [--id ID] | Add task | | `remove-task --id ID` or `--trigger NAME` | Remove by id or all for trigger | | `reorder --trigger NAME --order id1,id2,id3` | Set run order for that trigger | | `enable --id ID` / `disable --id ID` | Toggle task | | `install` [--repo-root PATH] [--output PATH] | Generate crontab fragment (or write to file) | Runner (used by cron): `run_trigger.py --manifest PATH --repo-root PATH TRIGGER` runs that trigger's tasks in sequence. ## Patterns for agents 1. **Add a daily snapshot at midnight:** `add-task --trigger midnight-utc --command "python3 _localsetup/skills/localsetup-system-info/scripts/system_snapshot.py --output-basename \"reports/system-snapshots/$(hostname)/$(date -u +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ)\""`. 2. **Add on-boot trigger:** In manifest, add trigger with `on_boot_delay_minutes: 5`; then add tasks to it. 3. **Reorder:** `reorder --trigger midnight-utc --order snapshot-daily,cleanup,notify`. 4. **Remove one task:** `remove-task --id snapshot-daily`. Remove all for a trigger: `remove-task --trigger midnight-utc`. 5. **Apply cron:** Run `install --output cron/crontab.generated`, then `crontab cron/crontab.generated` or merge into existing crontab.
