High-risk skill: its Quick Install runs a remote installer via bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/digitaladaption/cron-creator/main/install.sh)" and clones https://github.com/digitaladaption/cron-creator.git, writing into ~/.clawdbot/skills and restarting clawdbot. The install also auto-configures Clawdbot tools.exec.host=gateway, a confirmed change to agent configuration.

Cron Creator

Create Clawdbot cron jobs automatically from natural language requests.

Quick Install (One Command)

Run this in your terminal:

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/digitaladaption/cron-creator/main/install.sh)"

Or manually:

# Install skill
mkdir -p ~/.clawdbot/skills
git clone https://github.com/digitaladaption/cron-creator.git ~/.clawdbot/skills/cron-creator

# Configure and restart
clawdbot gateway restart

That's it! Then just say things like:

  • "Create a daily Ikigai reminder at 8:45am"
  • "Remind me to drink water every 2 hours"
  • "Set up a weekly check-in on Mondays at 9am"

What It Does

  1. Hears your request to create a cron job
  2. Parses time, frequency, channel, and message
  3. Creates the cron job automatically
  4. Confirms it's done

Trigger Patterns

Say things like:

  • "Create a cron job for..."
  • "Set up a reminder..."
  • "Schedule a..."
  • "Remind me to..."
  • "Create a daily/weekly check-in..."
  • "Add a recurring..."

For Developers

Files

  • SKILL.md - This documentation
  • scripts/cron_creator.py - Natural language parser
  • install.sh - Automatic installer script

The Parser

The cron_creator.py script:

  • Extracts time, frequency, channel, destination from natural language
  • Generates appropriate clawdbot cron add command
  • Returns JSON with parsed fields and command

Manual Testing

# Test the parser
python3 scripts/cron_creator.py "Create a daily reminder at 8:45am"

# Output includes:
# - parsed time, frequency, channel
# - generated cron expression
# - full clawdbot cron add command

Configuration

The install script automatically configures:

  • Clawdbot tools.exec.host=gateway (allows running clawdbot commands)
  • Skill files in ~/.clawdbot/skills/cron-creator
  • Gateway restart to apply changes

Troubleshooting

Skill not loading?

clawdbot skills list | grep cron

# Check cron jobs
