acp-loop adds cron scheduling for AI agents

acp-loop is a new open-source CLI that runs recurring prompts for ACP-compatible agents on fixed intervals or cron schedules. It targets agent workflows like monitoring builds, polling GitHub issues, and generating scheduled reports, while working with tools such as Claude Code and Codex CLI through acpx.

// ANALYSIS

This is a small but useful piece of agent infrastructure: lots of AI coding tools can execute prompts, but very few give developers a clean way to run them on a schedule.

  • The hook is agent-agnosticism: instead of hardwiring one model vendor, acp-loop rides the ACP layer so the same scheduler can target multiple CLIs
  • The most practical use cases are ops-flavored workflows like deploy checks, issue triage, and periodic summaries rather than flashy autonomous-agent demos
  • Support for cron expressions, stop conditions, timeouts, and max iterations makes it feel more like real automation plumbing than a toy wrapper
  • The catch is that it depends on ACP/acpx setup and permission policy handling, so it is best suited to power users already experimenting with agentic developer tooling
