Usage Guidance
Install if you want a local recurring-schedule memory. Do not treat it as a background runner or system cron replacement unless you add a separate execution service, and avoid putting secrets in job titles or notes because they are stored persistently in local JSON files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill coherently implements local recurring schedules, pause/resume, listing, job inspection, and next-run calculation; wording about execution should be read as scheduling metadata, since the scripts do not actually run tasks at scheduled times.
Instruction Scope
The trigger language is broad for recurring timing requests but remains scoped to schedule management and does not ask the agent to override user intent or perform unrelated actions.
Install Mechanism
The package contains Python scripts and a manifest with no dependency installation, no entrypoints, and no privileged installer behavior.
Credentials
File access is limited to disclosed JSON files under ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/cron, with no observed network calls, subprocess execution, credential access, or system scheduler integration.
Persistence & Privilege
It persistently stores job titles, notes, tags, timing fields, and simple stats locally, which is expected for this purpose but may retain private user-entered text.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install cron - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/cron - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
