Schedule Agents to Run While You’re Away
By TermSquad · Last reviewed
Schedule runs an agent or a Squad on your TermSquad computer at the times you choose, even with your browser closed. Open Schedule in the sidebar, below Files.
Create a task
- Select New task.
- Choose the Workspace and folder, and write the Prompt.
- Under Run with, choose Single agent or Squad, then the agent, model and Reasoning effort.
- Choose a Frequency: One-time, Hourly, Daily, Weekly or Custom cron, and set your timezone. The next five run times appear before you save.
- Set a timeout. The default is 60 minutes, and you can choose from 1 minute to 24 hours.
- Leave YOLO mode off unless the task should skip approvals.
Each run starts in a fresh conversation and uses the agents, repositories and credentials already on your computer.
Review executions
Execution history shows the task, agent, workspace, start time, duration, status and result. A run is complete only after the agent sends its report, and the result is the agent’s own report. Use Resume to reopen the conversation, Run again to repeat a past run with its original settings, or Run now to run the current task immediately. Neither changes the schedule.
When an agent needs you
With YOLO mode off, a run that asks for approval stops with Needs attention and keeps the conversation so you can resume it. YOLO mode only turns on the agent’s own approval-skipping option for that task; it does not change Linux permissions.
Limits
Each computer runs one scheduled task at a time; others wait. Your manual sessions are separate. Runs are not retried automatically. A run that is more than ten minutes late is skipped and recorded instead of starting late.
