Hermes Agent creates scheduled tasks using the official Cron feature. It is suitable for small but explicit tasks such as "summarizing news every morning", "checking a page every hour", and "regularly sending to Telegram/Discord/Slack", and is not suitable for the resident heartbeat with an infinite loop.
Basic usage
hermes cron add "0 9 * * *" "每天总结 AI 新闻并发给我"
hermes cron list
hermes cron edit <job_id> --prompt "改成只总结开源 AI"
hermes cron remove <job_id>Attention newbies
- cron prompts should be short and explicit, and don't stuff the entire operation manual.
- Complex processes can be hung with skills, and scheduled tasks can reference skills.
- Before sending to the platform, configure the corresponding home channel.
- Each due job starts a new agent session, don't expect it to automatically inherit the current CLI context.
In a word: Hermes cron is suitable for regular small tasks, and complex automation needs to be combined with skills and clear delivery channels.
