###### Minor Changes

-   [#163](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/163) [`07dd604`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/07dd604c3c7f453dfb0c0a601bb1c44a8114bb3b) - Add `/auto` slash command and `--auto` CLI flag for auto permission mode.

-   [#157](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/pull/157) [`971fce6`](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/commit/971fce6e528c2b210df1852d7cd12bcda71014fd) - Add scheduled tasks:

    You can now ask the assistant to remind you at a specific time, run a task on a recurring cron schedule (for example, check a deploy every 5 minutes or run a daily report every weekday at 9am), or come back on its own in a few minutes to continue what it was doing.

    Schedules use the standard 5-field cron syntax.
