cron-manager

cron-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fisker086/AIOps. It costs 18 tokens per session (401 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A manager for cron jobs, which are scheduled commands that run automatically on a computer. It can inspect the current user's schedule and, where supported, add, replace, or remove that schedule.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list user or system cron schedules, check macOS job status, add a scheduled command, replace the user's crontab, or clear it.
Why use it?
It makes scheduled tasks easier to inspect and change while limiting changes to the operating system user running the app. Replacing the full schedule can remove existing jobs, so it requires care.

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-manager 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Cron Manager Skill

Read (current user / system / status)

  • list — current user's crontab (crontab -l)
  • system — system crontab files where readable (/etc/crontab, /etc/cron.d/*)
  • status — macOS: launchctl list (job list; may be long)

Write (current user crontab only)

Use builtin_cron_manager with operation:

  • write — replace entire user crontab. Pass content (full crontab text, newline-terminated lines as usual).
  • append_line — append one cron line. Pass line (single line, no embedded newlines).
  • clear — remove the current user's crontab (crontab -r).

Safety: write/append_line/clear affect only the OS user running the desktop app (not root). Prefer append_line for adding a single job. Review write before applying — it replaces the whole file. Risk is elevated (medium): confirm in the UI when prompted.

Parameters

Field Used when
operation list | system | status | write | append_line | clear
content operation=write
line operation=append_line

Note: On Linux servers, status uses launchctl (macOS); for server-side runs, use client execution on the target machine.

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.
