What This Skill Does

Local-first recurring schedule engine that captures natural language timing into structured schedules. Supports daily, weekly, monthly, and interval jobs with pause/resume and next-run visibility. All data stored locally with no external sync.

Replaces cloud-based cron services and manual reminder apps by providing a local, inspectable, and pausable schedule engine that runs entirely offline.

When to Use It

  • Set a daily reminder to back up files at 9 AM
  • Schedule a weekly report generation every Monday
  • Pause a recurring job during a vacation without deleting it
  • Check which scheduled task runs next in your queue
  • Create a monthly billing reminder for the 1st of each month
  • Review all active and paused jobs in one list

Install

$ openclaw skills install @projectsnowwork/cron

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  • archived: no longer active, kept for history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
