dsh-cron

If you have ever wished DeepSeek Harness could work on a schedule—remind you to file the weekly report every Monday at 9 a.m., check CI builds every thirty minutes, or summarize market data right after the close—dsh-cron was built for exactly that. There is no crontab to hand-write and no scheduler script to maintain: simply describe what you need in plain language and the agent converts it into a scheduling rule and creates the task for you.

When the clock strikes, the plugin injects a [cron]-tagged message into the very session that created the task. The agent wakes up, executes the prompt, and replies with the result right in that same conversation. A right-side drawer in the web UI lets you browse tasks, inspect run history, trigger runs on demand, or pause and delete entries. Notifications cascade through multiple levels—unread badge, page toast, a synthesized WebAudio chime, and browser-system or OS-native alerts—so you never miss a result even when the tab is in the background or the browser is closed entirely.

It suits anyone who wants conversation-driven automation in DSH: product managers scheduling stand-up reminders, developers watching builds and deploys, or analysts generating periodic reports. The plugin makes zero outbound network calls, ships no install-time scripts, confines file writes to two local JSON stores, and works identically in headless mode—lightweight, auditable, and drop-in.
