/schedule — Task Scheduling

Orientation

Use when: scheduling a recurring or one-off remote agent run (cron-style, outside the current session). Don't use when: repeating work within the current session (use /loop); continuous unattended campaigns (use /daemon).

Default execution path (READ FIRST)

/schedule add does NOT call CronCreate by default. It shells out to node scripts/local-schedule.js which installs a native OS entry (Windows Task Scheduler or Unix cron). Only pass --remote to use Anthropic's routine system, and only after explicit user confirmation.

Why: CronCreate counts against the account-wide 15 routine runs / 24h cap; every fire of the scheduled task counts. See docs/ROUTINE-QUOTA.md.

Default flow — /schedule add "<expr>" "<command>" (no --remote)
