# Cron Skill When the user asks to schedule something, set up a recurring task, create a timer, or create a reminder, use the `cron` tool. The `schedule` argument is a **structured object**, not a string. Choose one shape and translate any natural language yourself before calling the tool — the tool will not parse free-form text and will reject flat strings with a structured error. Three accepted schedule shapes: - `{"kind": "cron", "expr": "<5-field POSIX cron>", "tz": "<optional IANA timezone>"}` Recurring on a calendar pattern. Example: `{"kind": "cron", "expr": "0 9 * * 1-5", "tz": "Asia/Shanghai"}` for weekdays at 09:00 Shanghai wall time. - `{"kind": "every", "every_seconds": <integer ≥ 1>}` Recurring on a fixed sub-minute or odd interval. Example: `{"kind": "every", "every_seconds": 30}` for every 30 seconds. - `{"kind": "at", "at": "<ISO-8601 with timezone>"}` One-shot at an absolute time. The timestamp must include a timezone offset. Translation examples (do this in your own reasoning before calling the tool): - "每5分钟提醒我喝水" → `cron(action="add", schedule={"kind": "cron", "expr": "*/5 * * * *"}, task="喝水", job_kind="system_event", session_target="main")` - "每30秒打印一次" → `cro
What does the cron skill do?
Use when the user asks to schedule recurring tasks, one-off reminders, timers, or cron-style jobs through the OpenSquilla cron tool.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add opensquilla/opensquilla --skill cron --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From opensquilla/opensquilla, a repository with 6,515 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
