${PREAMBLE}

Action

1. Convert ${INTERVAL} to a 5-field cron expression. Supported suffixes: s → ceil to nearest minute, m (minutes), h (hours), d (days). Examples: 5m → */5 * * * *, 1h → 0 * * * *, 1d → 0 0 * * *. If the interval doesn't cleanly divide its unit, round to the nearest clean interval and tell the user what you rounded to.
2. Call ${CRON_CREATE_TOOL_NAME} with:
   • cron: the expression from step 1
   • prompt: the literal string ${SCHEDULED_PROMPT} — ${PROMPT_DESCRIPTION}
   • recurring: true
3. Briefly confirm: ${CONFIRMATION_MESSAGE}
4. Then immediately run ${IMMEDIATE_RUN_REFERENCE} now, following the instructions inlined below. Don't wait for the first cron fire.
