Use Case
My primary usage scenario is periodically checking pull requests, including PR status updates, new comments, CI execution results, code change reviews, etc. It is inefficient to manually trigger queries over and over. A built-in recurring task capability can greatly optimize this workflow.
Core Requirements
Add a repeat execution function referencing Claude Code’s /loop:
- The scheduled tasks are limited to the current CLI session only.
- Support cron expressions to configure custom execution frequency.
- All scheduled tasks have a hard upper limit of 7 days total runtime; tasks auto expire after 7 days regardless of session status.
The specific command format, underlying logic, parameter constraints and implementation details can be fully designed by the project maintainers. I only put forward the functional demand.
Basic Expectation
Simple management commands to list ongoing scheduled tasks and stop tasks are necessary for daily use.
Benefit
Automate regular PR inspection work, reduce repetitive manual operations during development.
