Schedule Persistent Background Workers

v20260716

cron-schedule

This utility manages scheduled, persistent background workers using the `CronCreate` mechanism. Unlike simple in-session loops, scheduled cron jobs survive system restarts, making them ideal for Continuous Integration (CI), system monitoring, and scheduled maintenance tasks (e.g., security audits, performance optimization, data consolidation). Users can define various recurring schedules and understand the difference between persistent cron scheduling and active session looping.

Overview

Use CronCreate for workers that must survive session restarts:

CronCreate({ schedule: "*/15 * * * *", prompt: "Run security audit worker via mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__hooks_worker-dispatch" })

Recommended Schedules

Worker	Cron	Description
audit	`/15 * * *`	Security scanning
optimize	`/30 * * *`	Performance optimization
consolidate	`0 * * * *`	Memory consolidation
map	`/30 * * *`	Codebase mapping
testgaps	`/15 * * *`	Test coverage analysis
document	`0 /2 * *`	API documentation

When to Use Cron vs Loop

/loop: In-session, cache-aware, self-pacing. Use for active development.
CronCreate: Persistent, survives restarts. Use for CI/monitoring.
