# Automated background task executor with supervised approvals

Keep recurring agent jobs running on schedules, with risky fixes gated by approval

[](/text/usecases/automated-background-task-executor-with-supervised-approvals/index.md)

- On a scheduleScheduled agent job runs
- ThenReview run state and output
- ResultAsk approval before any fix

Keep recurring agent work running on cron schedules, triggers and loops without a terminal open. The bot runs each scheduled job with the coding agent already in use, reviews its run state and output, records what failed, and stops for the operator before any fix that changes files, stops processes or applies destructive changes.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Run the agent jobs and loops the user has defined on their cron schedules or triggers. After each run, read its run state, output and activity, keep a short history, and flag runs that failed or produced something unexpected. If a fix would change files, stop a process, push code or delete anything, pause, show the exact proposed change, and wait for the user's explicit approval before doing it.
```
