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

  1. Select New task.
  2. Choose the Workspace and folder, and write the Prompt.
  3. Under Run with, choose Single agent or Squad, then the agent, model and Reasoning effort.
  4. Choose a Frequency: One-time, Hourly, Daily, Weekly or Custom cron, and set your timezone. The next five run times appear before you save.
  5. Set a timeout. The default is 60 minutes, and you can choose from 1 minute to 24 hours.
  6. 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.
