Start Request Monitoring

Schedule the Project Orchestrator to automatically check requests/todo/ every hour and process any pending requests.

Steps

1. Schedule the cron job

Use CronCreate with these exact parameters:

• cron: 7 * * * * (every hour at :07)
• recurring: true
• prompt:

  Check requests/todo/ for pending request files and process them using the project-management:project-orchestrator agent behavior:
  1. List all files in requests/todo/
  2. If empty, stop silently.
  3. For each file: read it, understand the request, delegate to the appropriate agent or skill, then move the file from requests/todo/ to requests/done/.
  

2. Save the job ID

The CronCreate call returns a job ID. Store it for the user.

3. Confirm to user

Request monitoring started!

  Schedule:   Every hour at :07
  Watching:   requests/todo/
  Completed:  requests/done/

  Job ID: {job-id}

  ⚠  Session-only: monitoring stops when Claude exits.
  ⚠  Auto-expires after 7 days.

  To stop monitoring early, run:
  /project-management:stop-request-monitoring {job-id}

Rules

• Only one job: before creating, inform the user if they run this twice — each call creates a new independent job
• Do not process requests immediately on start — let the first scheduled fire handle it; only start the cron job
