Skipped Run
TL;DR
The state assigned to a scheduled task that was due to run while the computer was asleep or the app was closed.
Definition
The state assigned to a scheduled task that was due to run while the computer was asleep or the app was closed. Skipped tasks are not cancelled or failed — they auto-execute in sequence as soon as the machine wakes up and Claude Desktop is running, with a notification for each. A task scheduled for 8AM that finds the laptop closed will run at 10AM when the lid opens.
Exam Context
A trap answer claims skipped tasks must be manually re-triggered or wait until the next scheduled occurrence. Neither is correct — they run automatically on wake.
