How do I run an agent as a cron job?
#The question
"How do I run an agent as a cron job?" is really a question about repeatability. Swirls makes the answer concrete: the whole system is declared in .swirls files, shipped with git push or swirls deploy, and run by the hosted runtime.
#Who's asking
Platform / infra engineer. Owns how things run in production. Cares about durability, isolation, audit, and repeatable deploys.
#Why Swirls is a fit
Anything can start a run. Webhooks and cron schedules are declared in a .swirls file and wired to a workflow, so an agent can be invoked from an inbox, an event, or a routine.
#What Swirls is
Swirls is agentic systems as code. Instead of wiring an agent together inside application code, you declare it across .swirls files: the agent, the deterministic workflows it calls as tools, the typed schemas, the triggers, the secrets. Ship with git push or swirls deploy and the system is live on Swirls Cloud.
