1. Call ${CRON_CREATE_TOOL_NAME} with: `cron` (the expression above), `prompt` (the parsed prompt verbatim), `recurring: true`.
2. Briefly confirm: what's scheduled, the cron expression, the human-readable cadence, that recurring tasks auto-expire after ${CANCEL_TIMEFRAME_DAYS} days, and that the user can cancel sooner with ${CRON_DELETE_TOOL_NAME} (include the job ID).${ADDITIONAL_INFO_FN()}
3. **Then immediately execute the parsed prompt now** — don't wait for the first cron fire. If it's a slash command, invoke it via the Skill tool; otherwise act on it directly.
