README (SKILL.md)
axiom-cron-whisperer
Version: 0.1.2 Axioma Tools
Translates cron expressions into human-readable explanations.
What this skill does
- Parses standard cron syntax (5 fields)
- Explains in English or French
- Validates cron before deployment
- Example:
0 9 * * 1-5→ 'At 09:00, Monday through Friday'
When to use this skill
- ✅ Understand a cron expression you didn't write
- ✅ Document cron jobs
- ✅ Validate cron before deployment
- ❌ Calculate next N occurrences (use croniter)
- ❌ Quartz syntax (@yearly, L, W, #) — not supported
Usage
python3 axiom_cron_whisperer.py "0 9 * * 1-5"
python3 axiom_cron_whisperer.py "*/15 * * * *" --lang fr
python3 axiom_cron_whisperer.py "0 9 * * 1-5" --validate
from axiom_cron_whisperer import explain, validate
explain('0 9 * * 1-5') # 'At 09:00, Monday through Friday'
validate('not a cron') # False

Usage Guidance
Reasonable to install for local cron documentation and validation. Treat it as a simple helper, not a full cron scheduler: it does not support Quartz extensions or next-run calculation, and it should not be exposed to untrusted high-volume input without normal input length or timeout limits.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifacts coherently describe and implement parsing, validating, and explaining 5-field cron expressions in English/French using a local Python stdlib script.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to CLI/Python usage; minor documentation inconsistencies exist, such as examples importing validate while the code exposes is_valid, but these are functionality issues rather than security concerns.
Install Mechanism
No install hooks, package manager actions, or external dependencies are present; the included MANIFEST appears stale because it lists a LICENSE file not present and an older SKILL.md hash/size.
Credentials
Local execution and executable Python files are proportionate to the stated purpose; artifact review found no filesystem mutation, network calls, subprocess use, dynamic execution, or secret access.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request elevated privileges, create persistence, start background workers, modify scheduler state, or read credential/session stores.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install axiom-cron-whisperer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/axiom-cron-whisperer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
