About this plugin

dsh-cron brings a host-side, unattended job scheduler to DeepSeek Harness. It answers a simple question: you want an agent prompt or a shell script to run on schedule while the process is alive, without tethering it to any interactive session. Unlike dsh-schedule, which handles persistent in-session reminders, jobs here belong to no conversation at all. Dispatch state and run history are persisted in the storage domain layer, so a restart never loses history and interrupted runs are repaired to aborted on the next boot.

Use Cases

  • Schedule a weekly agent run to audit dependencies and write an upgrade checklist
  • Fire a health-check script every hour and capture the exit code and output tail
  • Ship a built-in refresh job with a plugin that registers and retires with the install

Best For

  • Developers running dsh who want process-lifetime cron for agent prompts or shell commands
  • Plugin authors who need to ship a built-in scheduled refresh job with their package
  • Teams that prefer declarative, centrally managed background job definitions
