Loop Demo

1. Scheduling the Task

/loop 1m "tell current time" parses the interval (1m → every 1 minute), creates a cron job, and confirms the schedule. Key notes:

• Cron's minimum granularity is 1 minute — 1m maps to */1 * * * *
• Recurring tasks auto-expire after 3 days
• Jobs are session-scoped — they live in memory only and stop when Claude exits
