cron

cron is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentscope-ai/QwenPaw. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,367 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for creating and managing tasks that run automatically at a future time or repeat on a schedule. It uses QwenPaw's scheduling commands and requires an agent identifier.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, inspect, run, pause, resume, update, or delete reminders and recurring tasks.
Why use it?
It separates scheduled work from tasks that should happen immediately and reduces the risk of creating a job in the wrong agent's workspace.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cron scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cron (Scheduled Task Management)

When to Use

Use this skill only when you need to automatically execute something at a future time or repeat execution on a schedule.

Should Use

  • User asks to do something "daily / weekly / hourly"
  • User asks for automatic reminders or execution "tomorrow at 9 AM / next Monday / at a specific time"
  • Long-term periodic notifications, checks, or reports are needed

Should Not Use

  • The task only needs to be executed once right now
  • It is just a normal reply within the current session
  • The user has not specified an execution time or schedule
  • The target channel / user / session is still unclear

Decision Rules

  1. Only use cron for future scheduled or periodic execution
  2. If it only needs to be done once immediately, do not create a cron job
  3. Before creating, confirm execution time/schedule, target channel, target-user, and target-session
  4. All cron commands must explicitly include --agent-id
  5. Do not rely on the default agent, or the task may end up in the default workspace
  6. For an agent task that should run without channel output, add --silent; execution, session history, trace, and optional Inbox recording still continue

Hard Rules

Must Explicitly Specify --agent-id

All qwenpaw cron commands must include:

--agent-id <your_agent_id>

Your agent_id is found in the Agent Identity section of the system prompt (Your agent id is ...). Do not omit it, or the task may be incorrectly created in the default agent's workspace.


Common Commands

# List tasks
qwenpaw cron list --agent-id <agent_id>

# View task details
qwenpaw cron get <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# View task status
qwenpaw cron state <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# Create a task
qwenpaw cron create --agent-id <agent_id> ...

# Delete a task
qwenpaw cron delete <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# Pause / Resume a task
qwenpaw cron pause <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>
qwenpaw cron resume <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# Run an existing task once immediately
qwenpaw cron run <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# Update an existing task
qwenpaw cron update <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id> ...

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
