# Scheduled Automations

A **scheduled automation** is a background sidecar (`"builtin": "schedule"`)
that runs on a cron schedule and starts a fresh agent conversation (`agentapi
new-conversation`) on each run.

This skill is **strictly for scheduled (cron) automations**. Do not use it to
create UI sidecars, continuous generic command/daemon sidecars, or in-turn
timers (use the `schedule` tool instead).

## Quick Start (5-Turn Creation Flow)

1.  **Turn 1 — Cadence**: Ask via `ask_question` (`Hourly`, `Daily`, `Weekly`,
    or `Custom cron schedule`).
