Cron Automation Manager
/install cron-automation-manager
Cron Automation Manager
This skill acts as an automation orchestrator for OpenClaw. It helps users create, manage, and monitor cron‑based automation tasks.
When to use
Use this skill whenever the user expresses intent related to automation, scheduled tasks, monitoring, or recurring notifications.
Typical triggers include natural language such as:
- create a scheduled task
- set up a cron job
- every day / 每天 / daily reminder
- every week / weekly report
- monitor something automatically
- send me updates periodically
- automatically check something
- build a daily or weekly report
- track news, GitHub projects, prices, or keywords
- remind me regularly
- manage or inspect existing cron jobs
Core Capabilities
- Create cron jobs interactively
- Manage existing tasks (list, modify, delete)
- Deploy template automation systems
- Route push notifications to supported delivery channels
- Inspect automation health and detect failing tasks
Workflow
- Detect automation intent
- Ask for missing parameters (schedule, target, delivery)
- Generate cron job configuration
- Confirm with user
- Deploy job using the cron tool
IMPORTANT DEFAULT BEHAVIOR:
Every cron job created by this skill MUST automatically record its output into the daily intelligence log.
All jobs should append their results to:
intel/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md
Rules:
- Each job must append a section with the job name and timestamp.
- The file acts as the persistent data layer for trend analysis.
- 7‑day, weekly, and 30‑day analysis jobs must read from the
intel/dailydirectory instead of relying on live searches. - If the daily file does not exist it must be created automatically.
Example structure:
2026-03-22
Job: AI News Radar
Time: 12:00
(content)
Job: GitHub Trending Radar
Time: 18:00
(content)
This ensures that all automation jobs contribute to a persistent intelligence dataset.
Delivery Channels
On first use the system may initialize the delivery configuration automatically using:
skills/cron-automation-manager/scripts/init-delivery-config.ps1
This script will create config/delivery-config.json from the example template if it does not already exist.
Users may edit the file to enable or disable delivery channels.
Delivery Channels
Delivery routing is controlled by configuration.
Primary configuration file:
config/delivery-config.json
If the configuration file does not exist, users should copy the template:
config/delivery-config.example.json
and rename it to:
delivery-config.json
Cron jobs should always generate reports locally first (intel/*). The delivery router may distribute results to enabled channels defined in the config file.
Supported channels may include:
- Feishu
- Telegram
- Discord
- Web Console
- Local Files
Templates
Predefined automation templates live in templates/. These allow one‑step deployment of complex automation systems.
Currently included templates:
- AI intelligence monitoring system
- GitHub trending monitor
- keyword news monitor
- price monitoring
New templates can be added without modifying the core skill.
Example Automations
Common automation systems that can be created using this skill:
- AI news monitoring and daily tech intelligence reports
- GitHub trending project tracking
- Keyword-based news alerts
- Cryptocurrency / stock price monitoring
- Daily reminders and habit notifications
- Weekly or monthly summary reports
- System health monitoring
Example Requests
These are common user requests that should trigger this skill (English or Chinese). The skill should activate whenever a user expresses intent related to automation, scheduling, reminders, monitoring, or recurring notifications:
English:
- create daily report
- monitor GitHub trending
- remind me every morning
- track AI news
- set up cron automation
- schedule a daily reminder
- automatically monitor something
- set up a weekly report
- create a periodic task
- help me build an automation workflow
Chinese:

- 帮我做一个定时提醒
- 每天给我推送
- 每周生成报告
- 监控 GitHub 热门项目
- 监控 AI 新闻
- 自动检查某件事情
- 定期推送消息
- 帮我设置自动化任务
- 做一个 cron 定时任务
- 确保已安装 OpenClaw(本地或 Docker 部署)
- 在对话框中输入安装命令:
/install cron-automation-manager - 安装完成后,直接呼叫该 Skill 的名称或使用
/cron-automation-manager触发 - 根据 Skill 的参数说明提供必要输入,即可获得结构化输出
