How to schedule a daily PR summary for a repository with Cline

Set a cron schedule so Cline posts a recurring report on open pull requests without a terminal open.

Credentials. Scheduled runs need access to your Git host and model provider, so make sure the credentials used are scoped to read-only access where possible.

Who it is forA team lead or maintainer who wants a regular status report on open pull requests and review progress.

The problemChecking open PRs by hand every morning is repetitive and easy to forget.

The outcomeCline runs the same prompt on a schedule and produces a PR status summary each weekday morning.

What you need first

  • Node.js with npm available, since the README installs the CLI with npm
  • Access to an AI model provider that Cline supports, such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, or a local model through Ollama or LM Studio
  • A git repository or project folder you want the agent to work in
  • For the VS Code path: the VS Code editor and the VS Code Marketplace extension

Steps

  1. Install the CLI with npm i -g cline.
  2. Confirm the repository path you want the agent to read.
  3. Run cline schedule create "PR summary" --cron "0 9 * * MON-FRI" --prompt "List all open PRs and their review status" --workspace /path/to/repo, replacing the workspace path with your own. (inferred, check the README)
  4. Check that the schedule persists after you close the terminal and restart the machine.
  5. Review the first scheduled output and adjust the prompt if it misses information you need.

Prompt for your agent

Use the cline/cline CLI to create a schedule in <repo-path> that runs every weekday at 9 AM and lists open pull requests with their review status. Run the `cline schedule create` command from the README with that workspace, then verify the schedule exists and report its next run time.

Caveat. The README says schedules run independently of a terminal, but it does not say how the PR data is fetched, so confirm the output matches what you see on your Git host.
