Cron & Scheduling extends your AI assistant with the ability to schedule and manage recurring tasks with cron and systemd timers. Use when setting up cron jobs, writing systemd timer units, handling timezone-aware scheduling, monitoring failed jobs, implementing retry patterns, or debugging why a scheduled task didn't run. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Cron & Scheduling as its underlying capability.
Cron & Scheduling works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Cron & Scheduling once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
To install Cron & Scheduling, copy the skill folder to `~/.claude/skills/cron-scheduling/` for use across all your projects, or `.claude/skills/cron-scheduling/` for a single project. Restart Claude and the skill is immediately active β invoke it with `/cron-scheduling` or just describe your goal and the AI will pick it up automatically.
Cron & Scheduling has been installed 8,266 times, making it one of the more actively used skills in the Developer & DevOps category. The install rate suggests it solves a real, recurring need rather than a niche edge case. The source code is open on GitHub β you can inspect it, contribute fixes, or fork it to adapt the skill for your specific setup. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/cron-scheduling/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/cron-scheduling/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /cron-scheduling or let the AI discover it automatically.
Cron & Scheduling supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
Cron & Scheduling is free to install. Check the repository for licensing information.
