Unofficial hack silences Paseo scheduled task notifications by self-labeling agents
intellectronica · x · 2026-09-26
Eleanor Berger shared an unofficial workaround for Paseo's lack of per-schedule notification settings (as of 0.9.2), useful for silent jobs and conditional alerts.
How it works
- Paseo's daemon only suppresses the "agent needs attention" notification for delegated agents (subagents), detected via a paseo.parent-agent-id label
- Scheduled agents have no parent, so they always notify — but each agent's environment exposes PASEOAGENTID and PASEOCLI
- The scheduled agent can label itself as a subagent of a fake parent at run start using paseo agent update <id> --label paseo.parent-agent-id=..., and the daemon will skip the notification on completion
The author cautions this relies on internal behavior and may break in future releases.
