Description
OpenClaw Gateway 内置定时任务调度器。用于创建一次性提醒、周期性任务、后台自动化。支持主会话系统事件和独立会话执行,可配置投递到聊天频道或 Webhook。
Usage Guidance
This is a documentation-only skill that explains how to create persistent scheduled tasks in the OpenClaw Gateway. Before enabling or acting on it: (1) confirm the OpenClaw gateway/CLI you will run is from a trusted source (the skill metadata lacks a homepage/source repo), (2) check where channel/webhook credentials are stored and ensure they have minimal scope (the doc allows posting to external webhooks and chat channels), (3) inspect the ~/.openclaw config and job files the gateway will use to ensure no sensitive data will be captured or sent, and (4) if you need higher assurance, request the skill's source repository or a signed upstream doc/URL and verify how the gateway authenticates to Telegram/WhatsApp/webhooks. Additional information that would raise confidence: a verifiable homepage/repo, explicit notes about required gateway credentials and scopes, and confirmation that delivery endpoints are controlled by the user or vetted services.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: openclaw-cron-setup
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle 'openclaw-cron-setup' is designed for scheduling tasks. While the `SKILL.md` documentation itself does not contain explicit malicious instructions or prompt injections, it details a 'webhook' delivery mode for isolated tasks. This mode allows the agent to POST task results to arbitrary HTTP endpoints, which presents a significant risk for data exfiltration if the agent were to be maliciously prompted to create a task that includes sensitive information in its payload and delivers it to an attacker-controlled server. This capability, though a legitimate feature, is a high-risk behavior without clear malicious intent within the skill's own instructions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description describe a gateway cron scheduler; the SKILL.md provides CLI commands, JSON schemas, storage paths (~/.openclaw/cron/...), and delivery options (announce, webhook, channels). All required pieces align with a cron/job-delivery feature.
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within cron setup scope (creating, listing, running, editing, deleting jobs) and reference only application-specific paths (~/.openclaw/cron/jobs.json, runs, and ~/.openclaw/config.json). They do include delivery options that send data externally (webhook, Telegram, WhatsApp, phone numbers), which is expected for a scheduler but is an important behavioral surface to consider because jobs can post data outside the host.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — this is purely documentation/instructions. Nothing will be written to disk by an install step from the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or credentials. That is plausible for a documentation-only skill because the actual gateway/CLI likely manages channel/webhook credentials, but the SKILL.md doesn't state what credentials the gateway needs or where they're configured. Verify the gateway has appropriate channel/bot tokens and that those credentials are limited to expected scopes.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill does not request always:true and does not modify other skills. The docs describe persistent job storage under ~/.openclaw which is appropriate for a scheduler; persistence is scoped to the application's config paths.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install openclaw-cron-setup - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/openclaw-cron-setup - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
