Scheduling Tasks

This skill lets you create, list, and manage scheduled tasks using the letta cron CLI. Scheduled tasks send a prompt to the agent on a timer — useful for reminders, periodic check-ins, and deferred follow-ups.

For ordinary one-shot or recurring work in the current conversation, use Wake instead. Wake is self-bound and covers create, list, and cancel without routing choices.

When to Use This Skill

• The task should run in a fresh, default, or different conversation
• The task needs a specific connected computer
• You need run history, replacement, or broader schedule inspection
• Wake cannot see or manage the schedule you need

Where Schedules Run

Execution determines schedule ownership; there is no runner selection flag:

• In a managed Cloud sandbox, schedules are durable Cloud schedules and run in the agent's Cloud sandbox.
• On a user-managed computer or self-hosted runtime, schedules are local and fire only while a Letta session is running there.
