What it does

Cron Task Creator is an agent skill from clacky-ai/openclacky. Create, manage, and run scheduled automated tasks (cron jobs) in Clacky. Use this skill whenever the user wants to create a new automated task or cron job, set up recurring automation, schedule something to run daily/weekly/hourly, view all scheduled tasks, edit an existing task prompt or cron schedule, enable or disable a task, delete a task, check task run history or logs, or run a task immediately via the WebUI. Trigger on phrases like cron, scheduled task, run every day, automate this; 定时任务, 每天自动, 定时执行.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks. The repository describes itself as: The most Token-efficient open-source AI Agent. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

The user wants to create a new automated task
Set up recurring automation
Schedule something to run daily/weekly/hourly
View all scheduled tasks

Example prompts

“/cron-task-creator”

Workflow steps

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

LIST — Show all tasks
CREATE — New task
EDIT — Modify an existing task
ENABLE / DISABLE — Toggle a task
DELETE — Remove a task
HISTORY — View run history
RUN NOW — Execute immediately
TEMPLATES — Browse common task templates

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00ab936. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- api.coingecko.com
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 Task Creator loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 407 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~133
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Cron Task Creator

A skill for creating, managing, and running scheduled automated tasks in Clacky.

Architecture Overview

Storage:
  ~/.clacky/tasks/<name>.md      # Task prompt file (self-contained AI instruction)
  ~/.clacky/schedules.yml        # All scheduled plans (YAML list)
  ~/.clacky/logger/clacky-*.log  # Execution logs (daily rotation)

API Base: http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}

Cron-Tasks API (unified — manages task file + schedule together):
  GET    /api/cron-tasks              → list all cron tasks with schedule info
  POST   /api/cron-tasks              → create task + schedule {name, content, cron, enabled?}
  PATCH  /api/cron-tasks/:name        → update {content?, cron?, enabled?}
  DELETE /api/cron-tasks/:name        → delete task file + schedule
  POST   /api/cron-tasks/:name/run    → execute immediately (creates a new session)

Cron Expression Quick Reference

Expression	Meaning
`0 9 * * 1-5`	Weekdays at 09:00
`0 9 * * *`	Every day at 09:00
`0 /2 * *`	Every 2 hours
`/30 * * *`	Every 30 minutes
`0 19 * * *`	Every day at 19:00
`0 8 * * 1`	Every Monday at 08:00
`0 0 1 * *`	First day of every month

Field order: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week

Operations

1. LIST — Show all tasks

bash

curl -s http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}/api/cron-tasks

Display each task: name, cron schedule, enabled status, content preview.

If no tasks exist, inform the user and offer to create one or show templates.

Key tip: Remind the user that the Clacky WebUI Task Panel (sidebar → Tasks) also shows all tasks and supports direct management.

2. CREATE — New task

Step 1: Gather required info (only ask for what's missing)

What should the task DO? (goal, behavior, output format)
How often should it run? (or is it manual-only without a schedule?)
Any specific parameters? (URLs, file paths, output location, language)

Step 2: Generate task name

Rule: only [a-z0-9_-], lowercase, no spaces
Examples: daily_report, price_monitor, weekly_summary

Step 3: Write the task prompt

The prompt must be:

Self-contained: the agent running it has zero prior context — include everything needed
Written as direct instructions to an AI agent (imperative, not conversational)
Detailed: include URLs, file paths, output format, language, expected output location

Good task prompt example:

You are a price monitoring assistant. Complete the following task:

## Goal
Check the current BTC price on CoinGecko, compare with yesterday's price, and log an alert if the change exceeds 5%.

## Steps
1. Fetch https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=bitcoin&vs_currencies=usd&include_24hr_change=true
2. Parse the JSON response to get current price and 24h change
3. If |change| > 5%, write an alert to ~/price_alerts/alert_YYYY-MM-DD.txt
4. Print the current price and change percentage

Execute immediately.

Step 4: Create via API

bash

curl -s -X POST http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}/api/cron-tasks \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "task_name",
    "content": "task prompt content...",
    "cron": "0 9 * * *",
    "enabled": true
  }'

Step 5: Confirm creation

✅ Task created successfully!

📋 Task name: daily_standup
⏰ Schedule: Weekdays at 09:00 (cron: 0 9 * * 1-5)

View and manage this task in the Clacky WebUI → Tasks panel. Click ▶ Run to execute immediately.

Show full SKILL.md (167 more words)Show less

3. EDIT — Modify an existing task

Step 1: Identify the task (if unclear, LIST first and ask)

Step 2: Show current state via LIST or ask user to confirm

Step 3: Update via API

bash

# Update content only
curl -s -X PATCH http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}/api/cron-tasks/task_name \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "new prompt content..."}'

# Update cron schedule only
curl -s -X PATCH http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}/api/cron-tasks/task_name \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cron": "0 8 * * 1-5"}'

# Update both
curl -s -X PATCH http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}/api/cron-tasks/task_name \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "...", "cron": "0 8 * * 1-5"}'

Step 4: Confirm changes

✅ Task updated!
📋 daily_standup
  Schedule: 0 9 * * 1-5 → 0 8 * * 1-5 (now weekdays at 08:00)

4. ENABLE / DISABLE — Toggle a task

bash

# Disable
curl -s -X PATCH http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}/api/cron-tasks/task_name \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"enabled": false}'

# Enable
curl -s -X PATCH http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}/api/cron-tasks/task_name \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"enabled": true}'

Confirm:

✅ daily_standup has been disabled.
   To re-enable: say "enable daily_standup"

5. DELETE — Remove a task

Always confirm before deleting (unless the user has explicitly said to delete):

⚠️ Are you sure you want to delete daily_standup? This cannot be undone.

bash

curl -s -X DELETE http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}/api/cron-tasks/task_name

6. HISTORY — View run history

Read the daily log files directly:

bash

grep "task_name" ~/.clacky/logger/clacky-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | tail -20

Or search across recent days:

bash

grep -h "task_name" ~/.clacky/logger/clacky-*.log | tail -30

Display format:

📊 Run History: ai_news_x_daily

Mar 10  19:00  ❌ Failed  — JSON::ParserError: unexpected end of input
Mar 09  19:00  ✅ Success — took 1m 42s
Mar 08  19:00  ✅ Success — took 2m 10s

7. RUN NOW — Execute immediately

bash

curl -s -X POST http://${CLACKY_SERVER_HOST}:${CLACKY_SERVER_PORT}/api/cron-tasks/task_name/run

This creates a new session. Tell the user:

▶️ Task started in a new session.
   View it in the Clacky WebUI → Sessions panel.

8. TEMPLATES — Browse common task templates

When user says "what templates are there" or "what can I automate":

📚 Common Task Templates — pick one to get started:

1. 📰 AI News Digest       — Daily fetch of AI news from X/RSS, generate Markdown report
2. 💰 Price Monitor        — Check crypto/stock prices on a schedule, log alerts on anomalies
3. 📊 Weekly Work Summary  — Every Monday, summarize last week's work into a report
4. 🌤 Weather Reminder     — Fetch weather every morning and save to file
5. 🔍 Competitor Monitor   — Periodically scrape competitor sites for changes
6. 📝 Journal Prompt       — Evening reminder to journal with daily reflection questions
7. 🔗 Link Health Check    — Periodically verify specified URLs are accessible
8. 📂 File Backup          — Regularly back up a specified directory to another location

Tell me which one interests you, or describe your own use case!

Important Notes

Task names: only [a-z0-9_-], no spaces, no uppercase
Task prompt files must be self-contained — the executing agent has no prior memory
Clacky server must be running for cron to trigger automatically (checked every minute)
The WebUI Task Panel is the preferred interface for managing tasks — always remind the user to check it after changes
