Use this skill to schedule Headless Agent Workloads.
When a cron job triggers, it simulates the user typing the assigned message into the chat. This means your scheduled jobs can perform complex automation pipelines, including browsing the web, checking email, querying APIs, or writing files.
Tool usage (Three Modes):
cron add with one of:
every_seconds for fixed intervals
cron_expr for cron-style expressions (optional tz, e.g. America/New_York)
at for a one-time run using ISO datetime (e.g. 2026-02-13T09:30:00Z)
cron list to confirm schedule and identifiers.
cron disable/enable for temporary control.
cron run to trigger manually.
cron remove to delete.
Examples
Simple Reminder:
cron action=add, message="Remind me to call John", at="2026-02-13T09:30:00Z"
Schedule an Email:
cron action=add, message="Send an email to annolid@gmail.com saying: Attached are the PDF files.", at="2026-02-20T17:56:00Z"
Advanced Automation (Autonomous Background Agent):
cron action=add, message="Check HackerNews and summarize the top 3 posts. Save the Markdown to ~/Desktop/hn-summary.md", every_seconds=10800
Always include the resulting job_id in user-facing confirmations.
