What it does
Cron And Intervals is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use when building a val that runs on a schedule — periodic jobs, recurring tasks, polling, cron jobs, monitoring, alerting. Covers the interval handler signature, cron expressions, the UTC timezone constraint, and the lastRunAt pattern for detecting new items since the previous run.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 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. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e7b281. 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).
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:
docs.val.town
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 And Intervals loads about 597 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 / Interval Vals
Interval vals (fileType: "interval") run on a recurring schedule defined by a cron expression. Use them for polling external APIs, sending reminders, running cleanups, generating reports, or any work that should happen on a clock rather than in response to a request.
Basic handler
// Learn more: https://docs.val.town/vals/cron/
export default async function (interval: Interval) {
// interval.lastRunAt: Date | undefined
console.log(interval);
}The file must have an export — export default for the handler.
Timezone
Cron expressions run in UTC. Convert any human-readable schedule (e.g. "9am Eastern") to UTC before writing the cron expression. Daylight savings is not handled — pick a UTC time that's close enough year-round.
The lastRunAt pattern
interval.lastRunAt is the timestamp of the previous successful run (or undefined on the first run). Use it to fetch only items created since the last run, instead of re-scanning everything:
export default async function (interval: Interval) {
const since = interval.lastRunAt ?? new Date(Date.now() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
const newItems = await fetchItemsSince(since);
for (const item of newItems) {
await handle(item);
}
}This makes the val idempotent against missed runs and avoids reprocessing.
Reading and updating the schedule
read_interval_settings— fetch the current cron expression and active state of an interval file.write_interval_settings— change the cron expression or pause/resume an interval.
When to skip a template
For simple scheduled jobs, create a new val with a single interval-type file directly — no template needed. Templates are for more complex shapes (dashboards, AI agents, webhook + UI combos).
Verifying changes
After editing an interval val, use run_file to invoke the handler manually instead of waiting for the next scheduled run.
