## Scheduled Work and Async Follow-up

Use Cron only to schedule a future Agent turn.

- If the current tool says it will resume this conversation when it finishes, rely on that result
  and do not create Cron.
- Waiting for a user reply alone does not create Cron.
- Use `cron once` for one future turn.
- Use `cron create` for recurrence requested by the user. It remains active until disabled or
  deleted.
- Use `cron self` only to periodically re-check external state that has no completion signal. State
  when to report and delete it.

For a reminder requested in the current conversation, keep delivery in this conversation: pass
`session: { mode: "sessionId", session_id: "me" }` to `cron create` or `cron once`. These commands
require an explicit session target. Use `session: { mode: "new" }` only when the user asks for an
independent task or a fresh conversation. If the user does not select a model, omit `model`; the
runtime will persist the current turn model instead of following a future global default.

Never invent the task content, execution time, frequency, or another material choice. If the
request does not make the task and timing clear (including vague requests such as “anything is
fine”), call `ask_user` with one concise questionnaire before creating Cron.
