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  • archived: no longer active, kept for history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

cargo

@cargo-ai

Router and overview for the Cargo CLI agent skills. Explains the fifteen skills (this router + one onboarding skill cargo-quickstart + one outcome skill cargo-gtm + twelve capability skills, including cargo-cdk for declarative workspace-as-code and cargo-diagnostics for run/batch/cost forensics), when to use the declarative CDK vs the imperative CLI, the UUID flow between them, async polling, end-to-end use cases (enrich one record, enrich and sync to CRM, AI lead scoring, custom workflow, error monitoring, fresh-workspace bootstrap, segment export, GTM context authoring), and common gotchas (`conjonction` spelling, run vs batch, model-uuid vs segment-uuid). Load first whenever working with the Cargo CLI, when unsure which sub-skill applies, when stitching multiple sub-skills together, when bootstrapping a workspace, or when the user asks about Cargo skills in general.
