"CLI for agents, dashboard for humans" is the cleanest way to position this — the moment scheduling has to happen, you want CLI; the moment you want to know what fired and what failed, you want UI. We hit the same split on PolyMind, which polls Polymarket trades and pushes alerts: the trigger logic lives in scripts (CLI-shape), but the human side wants a panel showing "what fired in the last hour and was it noise." One thing I'm curious about — do you treat retry-with-exponential-backoff as a knob the agent author sets per job, or as a global default with override? Most failure modes I've seen in scheduled-AI come from wrong defaults, not missing features.

Cron jobs for AI agents make sense because the boring scheduled work is usually where agents become useful. I’d want strong logs and retry behavior more than fancy setup, since silent failures are the part that hurts in production.

Scheduling AI agents is way harder than it looks - cron is simple enough but retry logic, timeouts, and observability turn into a mess fast. Does ClawTick give you per-job logs and failure alerts out of the box, or is that somthing you wire up yourself?

this is the layer i didn't realize i needed. the "one command, zero infra" framing matters because most agent-cron approaches assume you already have a scheduler running somewhere.

quick q: when a cron fires and the agent does work, do you carry the cron run id through to the agent's downstream tool calls, or does it get lost? curious how you handle that for traceability.
