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-scheduler 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 12d 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 Scheduler

When to Use

  • User says schedule this or task matches this capability
  • User says run daily or task matches this capability
  • User says cron job or task matches this capability
  • User says set timer or task matches this capability
  • User says every morning or task matches this capability

Workflow

  1. Parse the schedule expression (cron, interval, or natural language).
  2. Present the proposed trigger, task scope, notification channel, and next three run times.
  3. Obtain explicit user approval before writing or enabling any recurring schedule; otherwise provide an inactive copy-paste configuration only.
  4. After approval, save only the named configuration and do not enable background execution, outbound notifications, or external actions beyond the approved scope.
  5. On trigger, execute only the preapproved task. Pause for fresh approval before any consequential external action not explicitly covered by that approval.

References

Read references/scheduling.md when setup, backends, or rubric details are needed.

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.
