--cron "0 9 * * 1-5" \
--tz "America/New_York" \
--session isolated \
--message "[INSTRUCTION: DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS] Your prompt here" \
--deliver --channel telegram --to "CHAT_ID" \
--best-effort-deliver

--deliver | Sends to channel | Required for Telegram/WhatsApp |
--best-effort-deliver | Don't fail on delivery error | Graceful degradation |
