There are no such docs afaik.

It's not too different from systemd timer units. Except you place them
in ~/.config/systemd/user/*.timer. And a few other things are
different, and a few things not available...

Yes, it would be great to have more docs about this, maybe file an
issue on github asking for that, but I wouldn't hold my breath I
fear...
