What it does

Cron Schedule Planner is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Builds an overview of GitHub Actions schedule cron expressions across multiple repositories and helps spread CPU-intensive jobs (Docker Compose, Testcontainers, Kind/k3s, matrix builds) into less contended slots. Use when the user asks 'when do my cron actions run?', 'do my scheduled builds collide?', 'when should the Testcontainers build run?', or wants a cron schedule overview/distribution report across repos. Scans via gh (no local checkouts required) or local checkouts, converts UTC to a local timezone…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/classification-and-timezones.md`, `scripts/cron-schedule-planner.sh` and `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks and Integration testing. It works with GitHub Actions, Docker and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks when do my cron actions run?
  • Do my scheduled builds collide?
  • Should the Testcontainers build run?
  • Wants a cron schedule overview/distribution report across repos

Example prompts

  • “when do my cron actions run?”
  • “do my scheduled builds collide?”
  • “when should the Testcontainers build run?”
  • “/cron-schedule-planner”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Docker

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Decide the repository scope
  2. Run the script
  3. Present the results
  4. Apply suggestions only after confirmation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cron Schedule Planner loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 169 tokens; SKILL.md has 651 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~169
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 651 words (~1,606 tokens).

“Collects GitHub Actions on.schedule cron expressions across repositories, classifies how resource-intensive each workflow is, converts the UTC cron times to a local timezone, and produces a Markdown report with an hourly histogram, collisions and concrete redistribution suggestions.”
