No daemon, web server, SDK, or MCP server —\na scheduler starts the script, it runs the configured CLI command, logs the\nresult, then exits.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Linux, Python 3.11+ (`python3 --version`)\n- A scheduler: systemd (recommended) or cron\n- Any provider CLIs you enable in `kappa.toml`\n\n## Quickstart\n\n```bash\npython3 kappa.py doctor      # check config, timezone, and provider CLIs\npython3 kappa.py run         # run all enabled providers once\npython3 kappa.py run claude  # run one provider (even if enabled = false)\n```\n\nProvider names passed manually run even if `enabled = false`; `enabled` controls\nthe scheduled all-provider run.\n\nThen put it on a schedule — see [docs/scheduling.md](docs/scheduling.md). The\nshort version, running as the user who logged into the CLIs:\n\n```bash\nsudo python3 kappa.py systemd --user eric --write\nsudo systemctl daemon-reload\nsudo systemctl enable --now kappa.timer\n```\n\n## How it works\n\nThe scheduler starts `kappa.py run`. It takes a non-blocking lock (so overlapping\nruns don't stack), runs each enabled provider's `command` with the configured\n`prompt`, logs `start`/`ok`/`error`/`timeout`, then exits.\n\n## Docs\n\n- [Configuration](docs/configuration.md) — `kappa.toml`, providers, per-provider\n  keys, timezone, `doctor`.\n- [Scheduling](docs/scheduling.md) — systemd timer / cron, the timezone trap,\n  running as the right user, **install \u0026 uninstall**.\n- [Networking](docs/networking.md) — routing a blocked provider (e.g. Codex on a\n  VPS) through a proxy or exit node.\n- [Operations](docs/operations.md) — logs, log rotation, locking.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fericwang401%2Fkappa","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fericwang401%2Fkappa","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fericwang401%2Fkappa/lists"}
