How to create scheduled jobs in Hive framework
Best use case
hive-scheduler is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
How to create scheduled jobs in Hive framework
Teams using hive-scheduler should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Scheduler Jobs
Background jobs on cron schedules.
Location: `/src/scheduler/handlers/{jobName}.js`
## Template
```javascript
import db from 'db';
export const handler = async () => {
// Job logic
};
export const cron = '0 * * * *'; // Every hour
```
## Cron Patterns
```
┌─ minute (0-59)
│ ┌─ hour (0-23)
│ │ ┌─ day of month (1-31)
│ │ │ ┌─ month (1-12)
│ │ │ │ ┌─ day of week (0-6)
* * * * *
```
| Pattern | Schedule |
|---------|----------|
| `* * * * *` | Every minute |
| `*/5 * * * *` | Every 5 minutes |
| `0 * * * *` | Every hour |
| `0 */12 * * *` | Every 12 hours |
| `0 0 * * *` | Daily at midnight |
| `0 9 * * 1` | Mondays at 9am |
## Examples
**Sync external data:**
```javascript
import db from 'db';
import moment from 'moment';
import externalApi from 'services/externalApi';
export const handler = async () => {
const items = await externalApi.list({
updatedSince: moment().subtract(5, 'minutes').toDate(),
});
for (const item of items) {
await db.services.items.updateOne(
{ externalId: item.id },
(doc) => ({ ...doc, ...item })
);
}
};
export const cron = '*/5 * * * *';
```
**Mark overdue:**
```javascript
import db from 'db';
import moment from 'moment';
export const handler = async () => {
await db.services.invoices.updateMany(
{
isPaid: { $ne: true },
isDue: { $ne: true },
dueOn: { $lt: new Date() },
},
(doc) => ({ ...doc, isDue: true })
);
};
export const cron = '0 */12 * * *';
```
## Rules
- Export both `handler` and `cron`
- Keep jobs idempotent (safe to re-run)
- Log progress for debuggingRelated Skills
