# Scheduled Agents quickstart

Schedule a cloud agent to run recurring tasks automatically — issue triage, dependency checks, code cleanup, and more.

Scheduled agents are cloud agents that run on a recurring cron schedule, handling recurring tasks automatically without manual triggers. This guide walks you through setting up an agent that triages your GitHub bug reports every week, checks whether each issue has enough detail to investigate, and posts follow-up comments when information is missing. You’ll use a prebundled skill and the Oz web app; no CLI or custom code required.

Watch this short demo of creating and testing a scheduled agent:

## Prerequisites

-   **A Warp account on an eligible plan** - Build, Max, or Business, with credits available. See [Access, Billing, and Identity](/platform/team-access-billing-and-identity/).
-   **A cloud environment** - Agents run inside a configured environment that includes repos and other dependencies. If you don’t have one, follow the [Cloud Agents Quickstart](/platform/quickstart/) to create one first.

* * *

## 1\. Set up a scheduled agent

1.  From the [Schedules page](https://oz.warp.dev/schedules) in the Oz web app, click **New schedule**.
2.  Enter a schedule name, e.g. `Weekly bug report triage`.
3.  Under **Agent**, choose the identity the schedule runs as. **Quick run** is the default and runs every execution as you. See [Who the schedule runs as](#who-the-schedule-runs-as) before you decide.
4.  Under **Skills**, select **github-bug-report-triage**.
5.  Choose your environment.
6.  Under **Frequency**, choose a preset or enter a custom cron expression (e.g., `0 9 * * 1` for every Monday at 9 AM).
7.  Click **Create schedule**.

**Breaking it down:** The schedule lives in Oz’s cloud infrastructure. Unlike a local cron job, it fires even when your machine is off. Each run starts a fresh, isolated session with no state carried over from previous executions, and every run is tracked and reviewable in the [Oz web app](/platform/oz-web-app/).

### Who the schedule runs as

The **Agent** setting controls the identity behind every run, which determines how the agent authenticates to GitHub:

-   **Quick run** (default) - Runs execute as the user who created the schedule, using that person’s GitHub credentials. Pull requests the agent opens are authored by that person.
-   **A cloud agent** - Runs execute as that [cloud agent](/platform/agents/). With [team GitHub authorization](/platform/team-access-billing-and-identity/#team-github-authorization) configured, the agent authenticates as the **Oz by Warp** GitHub App, so pull requests are authored by the app instead of an individual.

Choose a cloud agent for any schedule that opens pull requests. Bot-authored PRs are clearly attributable to automation, and they can be reviewed and approved by anyone on the team — including the person who created the schedule, who cannot approve a PR authored by their own account.

Caution

The **Agent** setting has no equivalent flag in the Oz CLI, so a schedule created with `oz schedule create` always runs as the user who created it. To run it as a cloud agent, set **Agent** on the schedule in the Oz web app after creating it.

* * *

## 2\. Watch your first run

To verify your setup without waiting for the schedule to fire, trigger a test run now:

1.  From the [Schedules page](https://oz.warp.dev/schedules) in the Oz web app, click the schedule you just created.
2.  Click ⋮ and select **Run now**, then click **Run** to confirm.

Your test run will appear under **All** on the [Runs page](https://oz.warp.dev/runs). Once the schedule fires on its cron, those runs will appear under **Recurring**.

Runs are also accessible from the conversation panel view in the Warp app and on mobile via the Oz web app.

Note

**Prefer the CLI?** See [Scheduled Agents](/platform/triggers/scheduled-agents/) for `oz schedule create`, `oz schedule list`, and full schedule management commands. To use a custom skill instead of a prebundled one, see [Skills as Agents](/platform/skills-as-agents/).

## Next steps

-   **Choose the right unattended trigger** - Compare schedules, Slack, Linear, GitHub Actions, CLI, and API workflows in [Run agents unattended with schedules and triggers](/guides/agent-workflows/how-to-run-unattended-agents/).
-   **Trigger agents from your tools** - Connect Oz to Slack or Linear to trigger agents from mentions or issue updates. See [Integrations Quickstart](/platform/integrations/quickstart/).
-   **Manage and refine your schedule** - Change the frequency, swap skills, or pause and resume the schedule. See [Scheduled Agents](/platform/triggers/scheduled-agents/) for the full reference.
-   **Share with your team** - Schedules and environments are shared across your Warp team, so everyone benefits automatically.
