Thanks!

All the knowledge is stored in Markdown files on disk. You can edit them through the Rowboat UI (including the backlinks) or any editor of your choice. You can use the built in AI to edit it as well.

On background tasks - there is an assistant-skill that lets it schedule and manage background tasks. For now, background tasks cannot execute shell-commands on the system. They can execute built-in file handling tools and MCP tools if connected. We are adding an approval system for background tasks as well.

There are three types of schedules - (a) cron, (b) schedule in a window (run every morning at-most once between 8-10am), (b) run once at x-time. There is also a manual enable/disable (kill switch) on the UI.
