Search and manage Merlin's notes — knowledge base (Zettelkasten), daily logs, and user facts. Use this to recall past conversations, add knowledge, or look up stored information.
Understand your own architecture, source code, configuration, and runtime behavior. Use when you need to inspect how you work, review your logs, debug your own behavior, or answer questions about your capabilities.

Manage scheduled tasks using the merlin cron command. All operations use
this command for validation and consistent formatting. It works from any
directory.
IMPORTANT: Never read or write cron-jobs/*.json files directly. Always
use the merlin cron commands below. The command handles path resolution,
validation, and formatting. Reading files directly wastes cycles on path
guessing; writing directly bypasses validation and can create broken jobs.
merlin cron list
merlin cron get <job-id>
Conversational flow:
Preview with dry-run:
merlin cron add \
--schedule "0 9 * * *" \
--prompt "Check for new Python releases" \
--description "Daily Python check" \
--report-mode silent \
--dry-run
Show the user a summary and ask for confirmation. After confirmation, run without --dry-run:
merlin cron add \
--schedule "0 9 * * *" \
--prompt "Check for new Python releases" \
--description "Daily Python check" \
--report-mode silent
Important: The prompt should describe the task, not how to deliver results. The engine returns text output and the notification system handles delivery. Never include "send to Discord" or similar in prompts.
Options:
--schedule — Cron expression (required)--prompt — Task for the engine to execute (required)For all other flags (report mode, max turns, description, explicit id,
channel routing) run merlin cron add --help; never restate them from
memory.
merlin cron enable <job-id>
merlin cron disable <job-id>
Confirm the action to the user after running.
Always confirm before removing:
merlin cron remove <job-id>
Run a job immediately, bypassing the schedule:
merlin cron trigger <job-id>
This executes the job exactly like the scheduler would — same logging, history tracking, and session handling. Useful for:
merlin cron history <job-id>
Or for all jobs:
