/loop — schedule a recurring prompt
Subcommands
If the input (after stripping the /loop prefix) is exactly one of these keywords, run the subcommand instead of scheduling:
list— call CronList and display the results. Done.clear— call CronList, then call CronDelete for every job returned. Confirm how many were cancelled. Done.
Otherwise, parse the input below into [interval] <prompt…> and schedule it with CronCreate.
Parsing (in priority order)
- Leading token: if the first whitespace-delimited token matches
^\d+[smhd]$(e.g.5m,2h), that's the interval; the rest is the prompt. - Trailing "every" clause: otherwise, if the input ends with
every <N><unit>orevery <N> <unit-word>(e.g.every 20m,every 5 minutes,every 2 hours), extract that as the interval and strip it from the prompt. Only match when what follows "every" is a time expression —check every PRhas no interval. - Default: otherwise, interval is
10mand the entire input is the prompt.
If the resulting prompt is empty, show usage /loop [interval] <prompt> and stop — do not call CronCreate.
