magento-events-cron

magento-events-cron is a skill for Claude Code from OrcaQubits/agentic-commerce-skills-plugins. It costs 35 tokens per session (908 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development guide for Magento 2 events, observers, scheduled tasks, and message queues. Events let one part of an application notify other code; scheduled tasks run work at set times, and queues delay work for background processing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to react to Magento events, write observers, create cron jobs, and build asynchronous processing with message queues.
Why use it?
It helps you connect code without editing the code that sends an event, and helps move slow or timed work out of a user's request. It explains the Magento files and classes used for these 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

magento-events-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 3d 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.

Magento 2 Events, Observers, Cron & Message Queues

Events and Observers

How Events Work

Publish-subscribe pattern: code dispatches named events, and observers respond.

Dispatching Events

$this->eventManager->dispatch('event_name', ['key' => $value]);

EventManagerInterface is injected via constructor.

Observer Configuration (events.xml)

Observers are bound to events in etc/events.xml (global), etc/frontend/events.xml, or etc/adminhtml/events.xml:

  • event name — event to observe
  • observer name — unique identifier
  • instance — observer class (fully qualified)

Observer Classes

  • Located in Observer/ directory
  • Implement Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface
  • Single method: execute(Observer $observer) — access event data via $observer->getEvent()

Area Scoping

  • etc/events.xml — runs in ALL areas
  • etc/frontend/events.xml — storefront only
  • etc/adminhtml/events.xml — admin only
  • Use the most specific scope to avoid unintended side effects

Common Events

Magento dispatches hundreds of events. Common categories:

  • catalog_product_save_before/after — product save lifecycle
  • checkout_submit_all_after — order placement
  • customer_register_success — customer registration
  • sales_order_place_after — order placed
  • controller_action_predispatch/postdispatch — request lifecycle

Cron Jobs

Configuration (crontab.xml)

Cron jobs are declared in etc/crontab.xml:

  • job name — unique identifier
  • instance — class name
  • method — method to call (usually execute)
  • schedule — cron expression (minute hour day month weekday)
  • group — cron group (default, index; Adobe Commerce also has staging, catalog_event)

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.
