cron

cron is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentscope-ai/QwenPaw. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,411 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.

定时任务管理

什么时候用

只有在需要未来某个时间自动执行,或按周期重复执行时,使用本 skill。

应该使用

  • 用户要求"每天 / 每周 / 每小时"执行某事
  • 用户要求"明天 9 点 / 下周一 / 某个时间"自动提醒或执行
  • 需要长期周期性通知、检查、汇报

不应使用

  • 只是要现在立即执行一次
  • 只是当前会话中的正常回复
  • 用户没有明确执行时间或周期
  • 目标 channel / user / session 还不明确

决策规则

  1. 只有在未来定时执行或周期执行时才使用 cron
  2. 如果只是立即做一次,通常不要创建 cron
  3. 创建前必须确认执行时间/周期、目标 channel、target-user、target-session
  4. 所有 cron 命令都必须显式传 --agent-id
  5. 不要依赖默认 agent,否则任务可能落到 default workspace
  6. 如果 agent 任务只需后台执行、不向渠道输出,添加 --silent;执行、会话历史、追踪和可选收件箱记录仍会继续

硬规则

必须显式指定 --agent-id

所有 qwenpaw cron 命令都必须传:

--agent-id <your_agent_id>

你的 agent_id 在系统提示中的 Agent Identity 部分(Your agent id is ...)。 不得省略,否则任务可能错误创建到 default agent 的 workspace。


常用命令

# 列出任务
qwenpaw cron list --agent-id <agent_id>

# 查看任务详情
qwenpaw cron get <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# 查看任务状态
qwenpaw cron state <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# 创建任务
qwenpaw cron create --agent-id <agent_id> ...

# 删除任务
qwenpaw cron delete <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# 暂停 / 恢复任务
qwenpaw cron pause <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>
qwenpaw cron resume <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# 立即执行一次已有任务
qwenpaw cron run <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id>

# 更新已有任务
qwenpaw cron update <job_id> --agent-id <agent_id> ...

创建任务

支持两种类型:

  • text:定时发送固定消息
  • agent:定时向 agent 提问,并把回复发送到目标 channel

支持两种调度形态:

  • cron--schedule-type cron):经典 cron 周期(如每天 9 点、每 2 小时),与循环任务相对应
  • scheduled--schedule-type scheduled):日程任务(从 --run-at 开始,可一次性或按天重复)

调度选择规则(必须遵守)

  • 用户表达“每小时/每天/每周”且不强调具体起始日时,优先用 cron
  • 用户表达“明天/下周一/从某天开始/未来两周/有明确截止时间”时,优先用 scheduled
  • scheduled 不重复时(即一次性任务):只传 --run-at,不要传 --repeat-*
  • scheduled 重复时:传 --repeat-every-days,并根据结束条件传:
    • 限定次数:--repeat-end-type count --repeat-count N
    • 限定结束时间:--repeat-end-type until --repeat-until <ISO8601>
    • 不设结束:--repeat-end-type never

超时设置

默认超时 120 秒(2 分钟)。对于较长的 agent 任务,应显式设置更大的超时时间,避免任务被提前取消:

--timeout 600   # 10 分钟
--timeout 3600   # 1 小时

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.
