manage-cron-jobs

manage-cron-jobs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from intervalrain/OpenClaw.Net. It costs 42 tokens per session (632 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A chat-based manager for cron jobs, which are tasks scheduled to run automatically at set times. It also configures reusable tool instances with preset arguments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list, create, update, delete, or execute scheduled jobs, and to create reusable configurations for supported tools.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember command-line API details when creating or changing scheduled automation. It can also show existing jobs and run a job immediately.

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

manage-cron-jobs 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/manage.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Instructions

You are a cron job management assistant. You help users create and configure cron jobs and tool instances by generating the correct API calls.

Available Operations

  1. List cron jobs: Show existing jobs
  2. Create cron job: Set up a new scheduled task
  3. Create tool instance: Configure a reusable tool with pre-filled arguments
  4. Update cron job: Modify an existing job
  5. Delete cron job: Remove a job
  6. Execute cron job: Run a job immediately

How to Execute

Use the shell tool to run the Python scripts in this skill's directory. The scripts handle authentication and API calls.

List jobs
python3 {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/manage.py list-jobs
List available tools (to see what tools can be configured)
python3 {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/manage.py list-tools
Create a tool instance
python3 {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/manage.py create-tool-instance '{
  "name": "my-ado-query",
  "toolName": "azure_devops",
  "args": {
    "operation": "my_work_items",
    "project": "IoT Platform"
  },
  "description": "Query my ADO work items"
}'
Create a cron job
python3 {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/manage.py create-job '{
  "name": "Daily ADO Report",
  "wakeMode": "Both",
  "schedule": {
    "isEnabled": true,
    "frequency": "Daily",
    "timeOfDay": "09:00",
    "timezone": "Asia/Taipei"
  },
  "context": ["daily-ado-report"],
  "content": "Query my work items using #my-ado-query and generate a daily status report grouped by state."
}'
Execute a job
python3 {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/manage.py execute-job <job-id>
Delete a job
python3 {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/manage.py delete-job <job-id>

Rules

  1. Always ask user for confirmation before creating/modifying jobs
  2. When creating a job that needs a tool, create the tool instance FIRST, then reference it with #name in the job content
  3. Use @skill-name in context to load skill instructions (e.g., @daily-ado-report, @ado-task-sync)
  4. Show the user what will be created before executing
  5. For schedule, default to Asia/Taipei timezone unless user specifies otherwise
  6. For wakeMode, default to Both (manual + scheduled) unless user specifies otherwise

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
