Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it only provides cron templates and example openclaw CLI usage and requests no secrets. Before installing, verify you trust the author/source (homepage is missing), ensure the OpenClaw CLI is the expected tool on your system, and test cron expressions in a safe environment. Remember that the agent could autonomously run openclaw cron commands if allowed by your agent policy — ensure the agent's execution permissions and the scheduled tasks themselves do not perform sensitive operations or expose secrets.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: cron-forge
Version: 1.0.0
CronForge is a documentation-focused skill bundle providing templates and a reference guide for cron job syntax within the OpenClaw ecosystem. The files (SKILL.md, README.md) contain only informational text, usage examples for the 'openclaw' CLI, and standard metadata, with no executable code, suspicious network calls, or prompt-injection attempts identified.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description promise simple cron templates and OpenClaw integration; SKILL.md and README provide templates and example openclaw CLI commands only. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or capabilities are requested. (Source is listed as unknown/homepage none but that affects provenance, not internal coherence.)
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to providing cron expressions, template files, and example openclaw cron CLI commands (openclaw cron add/list/remove). The instructions do not direct reading arbitrary system files, exfiltrating data, or contacting third‑party endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction‑only skill. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill package itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The README notes the software processes/stores data locally when used, which is informational and consistent with the function.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there are no special persistence or system-modifying instructions. The skill can be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default), which is expected for a helper that can call openclaw CLI commands.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install cron-forge - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/cron-forge - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
