What it does

Memstack Automation Cron Scheduler is an agent skill from cwinvestments/memstack. Use this skill when the user says 'cron job', 'scheduled task', 'run every', 'cron expression', 'recurring job', or needs production-grade scheduled jobs with overlap prevention, monitoring, and structured logging. Do NOT use for n8n workflows or event-driven webhooks.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks. It works with n8n. The repository describes itself as: Structured skill framework for Claude Code. 130 skills, persistent memory, TokenStack compression, localhost dashboard with 3-agent runner, real-time streaming, MCP tools.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says cron job
  • Cron expression
  • Needs production-grade scheduled jobs with overlap prevention
  • Structured logging

Example prompts

  • “cron job”
  • “scheduled task”
  • “run every”
  • “/memstack-automation-cron-scheduler”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Job Requirements
  2. Write the Cron Expression
  3. Implement Overlap Prevention
  4. Structured Logging
  5. Monitoring & Alerting
  6. Production Checklist

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00370ce. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript, bash, sql and markdown).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • crontab.guru

    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

Memstack Automation Cron Scheduler loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 642 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Proprietary) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 642 words (~2,378 tokens).

“Builds production-grade scheduled jobs with cron syntax, timezone handling, overlap prevention, health checks, monitoring, alerting, and structured logging.”
