What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents cron-driven workloads from colliding, running at the wrong time, or producing duplicate side effects when re-run.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Schedule staggering and collision prevention: Enforces a maximum of one job per 5-minute slot and detects overlaps with an offset-based slot system.
- Timezone-aware quiet hours gating with backlog holding: Blocks delivery during quiet hours (default 11 PM–8 AM local time) and queues results until the user is awake again.
- Idempotent cron execution with safe output reporting: Ensures reruns do not duplicate outputs and saves run results as timestamped reports under reports/{job-name}/.
- Thin, reference-based job prompts: Keeps cron job prompts minimal by instructing jobs to read and run skills/{name}/SKILL.md rather than embedding long instructions.
Quick Start
Ask your AI agent to schedule a new background cron job using the quiet-hours-aware, collision-free rules and to generate its first report.
