Safe Cron Runner 🛡️

A secure background task executor for AI Agents.

Overview

This skill wraps background task execution to ensure that autonomous agents don't accidentally (or maliciously) execute long-running or privileged commands.

Key Protections

1. Privilege Dropping: Automatically drops root privileges (switches to nobody) before executing the subprocess.
2. Strict Timeouts: Enforces hard timeouts to prevent infinite loops or resource exhaustion.
3. Shell Injection Protection: Uses list-based command execution (subprocess without shell) to prevent common command injection attacks.
4. Transparent Logging: Separates and logs stdout, stderr, and execution status for auditability.

ISNAD Signed

This skill includes an ISNAD manifest (isnad_manifest.json) verifying the integrity of the release.
