cron

cron is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from FarkhodovIslom/Tarantul. It costs 8 tokens per session (409 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cron, MIT.

A scheduling skill for sending reminders or asking an agent to perform tasks at set times or repeating intervals. It uses time expressions such as “every hour” or “weekdays at 5pm.”

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for one-time reminders, recurring reminders, scheduled agent tasks, and listing or removing scheduled jobs.

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 5d 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.

Origin

What it actually says

Cron

Use the cron tool to schedule reminders or recurring tasks.

Three Modes

  1. Reminder - message is sent directly to user
  2. Task - message is a task description, agent executes and sends result
  3. One-time - runs once at a specific time, then auto-deletes

Examples

Fixed reminder:

cron(action="add", message="Time to take a break!", every_seconds=1200)

Dynamic task (agent executes each time):

cron(action="add", message="Check FarkhodovIslom/Tarantul GitHub stars and report", every_seconds=600)

One-time scheduled task (compute ISO datetime from current time):

cron(action="add", message="Remind me about the meeting", at="<ISO datetime>")

Timezone-aware cron:

cron(action="add", message="Morning standup", cron_expr="0 9 * * 1-5", tz="America/Vancouver")

List/remove:

cron(action="list")
cron(action="remove", job_id="abc123")

Time Expressions

User says Parameters
every 20 minutes every_seconds: 1200
every hour every_seconds: 3600
every day at 8am cron_expr: "0 8 * * *"
weekdays at 5pm cron_expr: "0 17 * * 1-5"
9am Vancouver time daily cron_expr: "0 9 * * *", tz: "America/Vancouver"
at a specific time at: ISO datetime string (compute from current time)

Timezone

Use tz with cron_expr to schedule in a specific IANA timezone. Without tz, the server's local timezone is used.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
