What problem does it solve?
Cron jobs in Clawdbot sometimes fail silently, causing missed messages, timeouts, or wrong execution times. This skill documents the common failure patterns and their fixes to improve reliability.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Cron deadlock avoidance: Learn why using the cron tool directly can deadlock and how to instead invoke via exec.
- Delivery reliability: Enforces isolated sessions and explicit delivery flags to guarantee message delivery.
- Timezone correctness: Emphasizes explicit timezone usage to prevent scheduling errors.
- Fallback robustness: Provides templates to embed robust instructions in prompts to avoid tool misuse by fallback models.
- Debugging templates: Includes commands and verification steps to diagnose and fix failures in production.
Quick Start
Set up a test cron job using explicit timezone and an isolated session to verify reliable delivery.
