Routines — schedule recurring tasks

Routines fire on cron or webhook and create a fresh task each time, assigned to a specific agent. Use them when work needs to happen on a clock (daily standups, weekly reports, hourly health checks).

List existing routines

$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines list

Create a daily standup routine

$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines create \
  --name "Daily standup" \
  --task-title "What did each agent ship today?" \
  --task-description "Summarise yesterday's commits and PRs across the team. Post to #engineering." \
  --assignee A-ceo \
  --cron "0 9 * * MON-FRI" \
  --timezone "Europe/Lisbon"

This creates the routine and attaches a cron trigger in one command. The CLI does two API calls under the hood (routine + trigger); the response is the trigger row.

Pause, resume, delete

$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines pause  --id R-1
$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines resume --id R-1
$KANDEV_CLI kandev routines delete --id R-1

Required inputs

• --name — display name; users see this on the Routines page.
• --task-title — title for every task this routine creates. Supports {{name}} and {{date}} placeholders.
• --task-description — agent instructions for each fire.
• --assignee — the agent ID that receives the task. For coordinator work, this is the CEO; for distributed checks, a worker or specialist.
• --cron — standard 5-field cron expression.

When NOT to create a routine

• One-off work — just tasks create directly.
• A reaction to a specific event — use a workflow trigger or webhook channel, not a routine.
• Something the CEO heartbeat already covers (e.g. checking for new comments — that's automatic).
