Cron Scheduler

Convention: See skills/conventions/test-before-bulk.md — test every cron job on 3-5 items first.

Contract

This skill guarantees:

• Schedule staggering: max 1 job per 5-minute slot, no collisions
• Quiet hours gating: timezone-aware, with user-awake override
• Thin job prompts: jobs say "Read skills/X/SKILL.md and run it" (no inline 3000-word prompts)
• Idempotency: jobs can run twice without duplicate side effects
• Results saved as reports: reports/{job-name}/{YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM}.md

Phases

1. Define job. Name, schedule (cron expression), skill to run, timeout.
2. Validate schedule. Check no collision with existing jobs (5-minute offset rule).
   • Slots: :05, :10, :15, :20, :25, :30, :35, :40, :45, :50
   • If collision detected, suggest the next available slot
