## When to use this skill
The user wants a **recurring or scheduled task** (daily report, hourly check, weekly backup summary, etc.).
**Always use Holix built-in cron** — jobs stored in the profile and executed by the gateway scheduler with the same agent stack as chat.
## Do NOT
- Do **not** create or edit system `crontab`, `launchd` plists, or `systemd` timers for Holix agent work.
- Do **not** write standalone Python/bash “scheduler” scripts that loop with `sleep` unless the user explicitly needs OS-level scheduling outside Holix.
- Do **not** suggest third-party job runners when `holix gateway` can run the task.
## Prerequisites
1. **Gateway must be running** (scheduler lives inside gateway):
- `holix gateway start` (background) or `holix gateway start -f` (foreground)
- `holix gateway status` — verify running
2. Jobs are **per profile** (`--profile` / `HOLIX_PROFILE`).
## Storage (read-only for debugging)
- Jobs: `~/.holix/profiles/<profile>/data/cron/jobs.json`
- Run log: `~/.holix/profiles/<profile>/data/cron/runs.log`
Prefer **commands** below; edit JSON only if the user insists.
## How to create a job
Tell the user the slash command (TUI / Telegram) or run CLI yourself if you have shell access.
**Slash (chat):**
```
/cron add <schedule> :: <task description>
```
Examples:
- `/cron add every day at 9 :: Summarize yesterday's git activity`
- `/cron add every 30 minutes :: Check disk space and alert if >90%`
- `/cron add 0 9 * * 1-5 :: Morning stand...
