dsh-timer-agent

dsh-timer-agent addresses the challenge of scheduling AI tasks within the DeepSeek Harness GUI environment by providing a persistent cron job engine. Built on the architecture of hermes-agent's cron system, it enables automatic execution of prompts through real AI Agent sessions at scheduled intervals, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The plugin supports session continuity and project directory integration, ensuring that each trigger runs in the appropriate context, and offers two task types: AI Agent tasks that consume API quotas and command tasks that do not, catering to diverse automation needs.

Core capabilities include flexible cron scheduling, dual management via Web GUI and tools, and a secure session settlement mechanism. Users can directly create, update, or pause tasks using the timer_agent tool within any conversation, while the Web sidebar's scheduled tasks panel provides visual management. The engine is designed for reliability with atomic writes and failure logging, ensuring accurate and traceable task execution.

This plugin is ideal for developers, research teams, or individual users seeking to automate workflows within the DSH ecosystem. Whether running AI prompts periodically for data processing, automating script renewals, or integrating into complex projects, dsh-timer-agent offers a streamlined, integrated solution. It emphasizes safe usage, requiring users to review commands and avoid untrusted environments, thereby maintaining local system security.
