jagc task ops (no --help required)

Use bash + jagc task only. Never edit jagc.sqlite*. Prefer --json for every command.

Thread targeting

Bash tool calls include thread-scoped env:

• JAGC_THREAD_KEY: canonical current conversation thread key.
• JAGC_TRANSPORT: current transport/provider (for example telegram, cli).
• JAGC_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID: Telegram chat id when current thread is Telegram.
• JAGC_TELEGRAM_TOPIC_ID: Telegram topic id for topic threads (unset in base/default chat thread).

Rules:

• In jagc runtime, jagc task create defaults to $JAGC_THREAD_KEY when set.
• Omit --thread-key to target the current conversation thread.
• Pass --thread-key only when the user explicitly wants a different thread.

Command contract

• Create recurring (cron):
  • jagc task create --title <text> --instructions <text> --cron <expr> --timezone <iana> [--thread-key <key>] [--json]
• Create recurring (rrule):
  • jagc task create --title <text> --instructions <text> --rrule <rule> --timezone <iana> [--thread-key <key>] [--json]
• Create one-off:
  • jagc task create --title <text> --instructions <text> --once-at <utc-iso> --timezone <iana> [--thread-key <key>] [--json]
• List:
  • jagc task list [--thread-key <key>] [--state all|enabled|disabled] [--json] (default: all)
• Get:
  • jagc task get <task_id> [--json]
• Update:
  • jagc task update <task_id> [--title <text>] [--instructions <text>] [--once-at <utc-iso>|--cron <expr>|--rrule <rule>] [--timezone <iana>] [--enable|--disable] [--json]
• Delete:
  • jagc task delete <task_id> [--json]
• Run now:
  • jagc task run <task_id> [--json]
• Run and wait:
  • jagc task run <task_id> --wait [--timeout <sec>] [--interval-ms <ms>] [--json]
• Toggle:
  • jagc task enable <task_id> [--json]
  • jagc task disable <task_id> [--json]

Recurrence patterns (RRULE)

Use --rrule for calendar patterns cron cannot express.

• First Monday of every month at 09:00:

RRULE='FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=MO;BYSETPOS=1;BYHOUR=9;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0'
jagc task create --title "Monthly planning" --instructions "Prepare monthly priorities" --rrule "$RRULE" --timezone "America/Los_Angeles" --json

• Every 2 weeks on Monday at 09:00:

RRULE='FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=2;BYDAY=MO;BYHOUR=9;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0'
jagc task create --title "Biweekly sync" --instructions "Prepare sync agenda" --rrule "$RRULE" --timezone "America/Los_Angeles" --json

Notes:

• Raw RRULE body (FREQ=...) is accepted; jagc injects stable DTSTART automatically.
• Keep timezone aligned with operator intent (local wall-clock schedule).

Relative time (shell-only, deterministic)

Convert natural language to UTC ISO first, then pass --once-at.

• In 2 hours:

ONCE_AT=$(date -u -d '+2 hours' '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z' 2>/dev/null || date -u -v+2H '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z')

• Tomorrow at 09:00 in user timezone:

TZ_NAME="America/Los_Angeles"
ONCE_AT=$(TZ="$TZ_NAME" date -u -d 'tomorrow 09:00' '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z' 2>/dev/null || TZ="$TZ_NAME" date -u -v+1d -v9H -v0M -v0S '+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z')

Then create:

jagc task create --title "..." --instructions "..." --once-at "$ONCE_AT" --timezone "$TZ_NAME" --json

Verification policy

• Mutation response is primary confirmation.
• Follow-up only when needed:
  • jagc task get <task_id> --json
  • jagc task list --state all --json
• Execution diagnosis:
  • jagc health --json
  • jagc run wait <run_id> --json (if you already have run_id)
