Scheduler Notification Runbook

Overview

Use this skill to create reliable reminder and scheduled notification workflows with OpenClaw cron. Focus on production-safe decisions: choose the correct payload type, choose the correct session target, write reminder text that still makes sense when delivered later, and verify that the job actually fired and delivered.

Core workflow

1. Classify the scheduling need

Decide which of these cases applies before creating any job:

• One-shot reminder: "Remind me in 20 minutes" or "Remind me tomorrow at 9 AM"
• Recurring reminder: "Remind me every weekday at 6 PM"
• Background agent task: a scheduled isolated agent run that produces a summary or follow-up
• Current-session follow-up: a scheduled agent run that must keep using the current session thread
