Start a task on a timer without a human prompt.

Grok Bot's sourced cell covers product-native routines owned by one Bot. It does not establish unlimited unattended operation, guaranteed event delivery, or identical retention for the conversation and run history.

All other harness cells remain **unknown** until a dated note and public source support a more specific status. Use the Markdown and JSON twins if you are an agent reading this site.

- Harness: [Grok Bot](/harnesses/grok-bot-desktop.md)
- current: **Supported**
  - Target: hosted-observation — 2026-08-28 Grok Bot desktop documentation observation; observed 2026-08-28
  - Environment: hosted-default
  - Constraint (runtime): each Bot can own up to 50 routines and the app keeps the 20 most recent run records per routine
  - Constraint (policy): unattended routines may be paused after a long absence and consequential actions should remain approval-gated
  - Evidence: [xAI — Grok Bot skills and routines](https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/skills-routines-and-automations) — documented; observed 2026-08-28
  - Qualification note 1: Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Grok Bot routines can run a workflow on a schedule, show the next run, execute while the operator's laptop is closed, and retain the 20 most recent run records; each Bot can own up to 50 routines.

- Harness: [Cursor](/harnesses/cursor.md)
- current: **Supported**
  - Target: hosted-observation — 2026-08-28 Cursor Cloud Agent documentation observation; observed 2026-08-28
  - Environment: hosted-default
  - Constraint (runtime): Automations create billable Cloud Agents; repository access and optional tools must be configured for each automation
  - Constraint (runtime): conversation timer subscriptions last at most 180 days
  - Evidence: [Cursor — Automations](https://cursor.com/docs/cloud-agent/automations) — documented; observed 2026-08-28
  - Evidence: [Cursor — Cloud Agent capabilities](https://cursor.com/docs/cloud-agent/capabilities) — documented; observed 2026-08-28
  - Qualification note 3: Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Cursor Automations run Cloud Agents on recurring preset or cron schedules, and Cloud Agent timer subscriptions can wake an existing conversation without another human prompt.

- current: **Partial**
  - Target: hosted-observation — 2026-08-28 Warp cloud-agent documentation observation; observed 2026-08-28
  - Environment: hosted-default
  - Constraint (runtime): schedules run cloud agents on Warp infrastructure or customer-managed infrastructure through the Automation Platform, not the default local app session
  - Evidence: [Warp — Getting started with Warp](https://docs.warp.dev/) — documented; observed 2026-08-28
  - Qualification note 4: Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Warp documents scheduled recurring tasks for cloud agents on its Automation Platform; this is a hosted automation surface, not a timer inside the default local Warp Agent session.

### Claude CLI (cli)

- Harness: [Claude CLI](/harnesses/claude-cli.md)
- current: **Supported**
  - Target: dated-documentation — current Claude Code scheduling documentation; observed 2026-08-28
  - Environment: local-default
  - Constraint (runtime): session-scoped tasks fire only while Claude Code is running and idle and recurring tasks expire after seven days
  - Constraint (preview): durable cloud Routines created with /schedule are research preview, require Claude Code on the web, and have account and organization availability constraints
  - Evidence: [Anthropic — Run prompts on a schedule](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/scheduled-tasks) — documented; observed 2026-08-28
  - Evidence: [Anthropic — Automate work with routines](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/web-scheduled-tasks) — documented; observed 2026-08-28
  - Qualification note 2: Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Claude Code can schedule recurring or one-shot prompts with `/loop` and cron tools inside a live session; it also exposes durable cloud Routines through `/schedule`, but Routines are a research preview.
