What Cron does

Cron schedules reminders, recurring tasks, or one-time jobs from a message and time expression. Use it when an agent needs to notify a user or run a task later, including timezone-aware schedules.

Cron is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Cron comes from a repository tagged agent, agentic-ai, ai-agents, chatgpt and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Cron

Use the cron tool to schedule reminders or recurring tasks.

Three Modes

Reminder - message is sent directly to user
Task - message is a task description, agent executes and sends result
One-time - runs once at a specific time, then auto-deletes

Examples

Fixed reminder:

cron(action="add", message="Time to take a break!", every_seconds=1200)

Dynamic task (agent executes each time):

cron(action="add", message="Check MemTensor/memmy-agent GitHub stars and report", every_seconds=600)

One-time scheduled task (compute ISO datetime from current time):

cron(action="add", message="Remind me about the meeting", at="<ISO datetime>")
