About this plugin

In a DSH workflow setup, you have likely assembled a set of pipelines and prompts, but turning them into something that runs itself on a schedule is the missing piece. dsh-cron-scheduler adds a full Linux crontab-style scheduling layer to your LLM agent, letting it trigger workflows or deliver prompts on a cron expression so recurring work happens automatically without a human prompting it each time.

The plugin understands standard five-field and optional six-field (with seconds) cron syntax, supporting steps, ranges, lists, and month or weekday names. Each firing can either inject a prompt for the agent to act on or instruct it to call run_workflow with parameters, preserving the same approval and visibility semantics as a manual invocation. A distinctive feature is the proactive suggestion flow: the agent infers recurring intent from the conversation, proposes a schedule as a pending suggestion, and only enqueues it once you confirm. Every job and suggestion is persisted to the session event log, so a host restart never loses a schedule. Management tools include pause, resume, preview the next N fire times, and a one-shot manual trigger.

Built for DSH developers who already have a library of workflows and want a reliable timing engine to turn them into a hands-free automation pipeline. No cron daemon, no external scheduler-just one lightweight plugin that attaches to every root agent out of the box.

Use Cases

  • Firing a data-report workflow on a daily cron schedule without manual triggers
  • Periodically injecting review prompts so the agent executes tasks autonomously
  • Detecting reminder intent in chat and enrolling it into the schedule after user confirmation

Best For

  • DSH developers with an existing workflow library who need a scheduling layer
  • Teams building hands-free automation pipelines on DSH
  • LLM app builders who want their agents to handle recurring reminders and scheduled execution
