SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Scheduling time-anchored tasks inside the current assistant session can be brittle or require remote tooling; this skill provides a local, session-persistent mechanism to queue and run tasks at specified times using CronCreate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local, in-session scheduling with CronCreate to preserve session state and context.
  • Supports one-shot and recurring jobs, with optional durability and automatic expiry to prevent runaway tasks.
  • Guidance on time phrases and cron-expression resolution for common prompts (e.g., "every weekday at 9").

Quick Start

Describe the task and target time to CronCreate to schedule it in-session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule a recurring task inside my current Claude session without remote dependencies?▼

You can schedule in-session tasks locally using CronCreate to set up one-shot or recurring jobs with five-field cron expressions and optional durability, preserving session state without external tools.

Can I use a five-field cron expression in local time for session scheduling?▼

Yes, local scheduling supports five-field cron expressions resolved in local time, requiring accurate time anchoring from your prompt to trigger tasks correctly within the current session.

What is the best way to set a reminder that auto-expires in my assistant session?▼

Use CronCreate to schedule local in-session reminders with automatic 7-day expiry, preventing runaway tasks while maintaining session-local state and context throughout the duration.

Do I need remote tooling to persist scheduled tasks across my session?▼

No, you can use the durable flag with CronCreate to achieve session persistence for scheduled tasks locally, eliminating the need for any remote dependencies or external tooling.

Does local scheduling support one-shot jobs alongside recurring cron tasks?▼

Local in-session scheduling supports both one-shot and recurring jobs via CronCreate, allowing you to queue time-anchored tasks that respect the durable flag for session persistence.

What are the limitations of session-local task scheduling with CronCreate?▼

Session-local scheduling requires accurate time anchoring from user prompts, relies on the current session context, and enforces a 7-day automatic expiry to prevent runaway tasks from persisting indefinitely.
