CronKit

CronKit is the scheduled-task capability layer inside AgentOS.
It fits apps that need more than “let AI answer now” and also need “run tasks in the background on a schedule.”

What it solves

It helps with:

  • scheduled task creation and updates
  • starting and stopping tasks
  • triggering a run immediately
  • reading run history
  • task access boundaries related to the app group

Best fit

  • recurring summaries
  • scheduled inspections
  • automated reports
  • background-triggered agent workflows

Core capabilities

Task management

This usually includes:

  • creating tasks
  • updating tasks
  • deleting tasks
  • enabling and disabling tasks

Run control

This usually includes:

  • executing a task immediately
  • reading run details
  • viewing run message history

How it relates to Agent / RAG

CronKit does not replace AgentKit or RagKit.

More precisely:

  • AgentKit handles agent sessions and tool orchestration
  • RagKit handles knowledge bases and query workflows
  • CronKit handles when execution happens

That is why it is often used together with the other modules.

When you may not need CronKit

  • you only need user-triggered interactions
  • you do not have recurring background task requirements
