Run Automations
Automations let NextClaw act on a schedule, not only when you send a message.
For the first automation, start with a low-risk reminder. Do not begin with a high-impact task.
Good first automation tasks
- remind you to choose the most important task each morning
- draft a daily status update
- summarize a project on a schedule
- continue a session at a later time
Recommended first step
Create a simple reminder:
text
Every weekday at 9:30, remind me to choose the most important task for the day.After that triggers correctly, add more complex jobs.
Automations and sessions
If a job should continue existing context, bind it to a session.
If it should be independent, let it use its own automation session.
Command entry points
Common operations include:
bash
nextclaw cron list
nextclaw cron add
nextclaw cron run <jobId>
nextclaw cron disable <jobId>For all options, see Command Index.
