Release Notes
Right on Schedule Agents in Amp can now set their own schedules and wake themselves up. When a schedule fires, the agent wakes up with its saved prompt and continues right where it left off, with all of its context and history. Works great with Slack, Puck, and spawning other agents, too. You can now say things like: - "Every morning, dig up the five slowest database queries of the past 24 hours, investigate with an orb in ultra mode, and DM me the list on Slack." - "Merge this, and remind me on Slack in two days to clean up the feature flag and roll it out to everyone." - "My recent backfill job thread, check on it every ten minutes and ping me if it stalls or starts outputting errors. Let me know when it's done." - "Every hour, use the inference-error-triage skill to inspect errors from the last hour and group related ones. For each newly discovered group, spin up a new thread to fix the errors and report back in the bugs Slack channel." Here's a real schedule at work: a thread watching a long-running job until it's done.
