Cron

Helper Behavior Review

python scripts/_run.py is an optional helper whose behavior should be compared with this skill's documented purpose before use. Show what the script does, explain any mismatch with the user-facing description, and run it only when the user explicitly wants that diagnostic path.

Cron

Turn recurring intentions into structured local schedules.

Core Philosophy

1. Repetition should be captured once, then trusted.
2. A schedule is not just a reminder — it is an execution contract over time.
3. The system should make recurrence visible, editable, and pausable.
4. Users should always know what runs next.

Runtime Requirements

• Python 3 must be available as python3
• No external packages required

Storage

All data is stored locally only under:

• ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/cron/jobs.json
• ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/cron/runs.json
• ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/cron/stats.json

No external sync. No cloud storage. No third-party cron service.

Job Status

• active: schedule is live
• paused: temporarily disabled
• archived: no longer active, kept for history

Schedule Types

• daily
• weekly
• monthly
• interval

Key Workflows

• Capture recurring job: add_job.py
• See what runs next: next_run.py
• Pause or resume: pause_job.py, resume_job.py
• Inspect one job: show_job.py
• Review all jobs: list_jobs.py
