Turn plain-language requests into recurring Clawdbot reminders, messages, or check-ins. The skill interprets the time, frequency, channel, and message, then creates the scheduled job and confirms it, including daily, weekly, weekday, hourly, and monthly schedules.

Cron Creator

Create Clawdbot cron jobs automatically from natural language requests.

Quick Install (One Command)

Run this in your terminal:

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/digitaladaption/cron-creator/main/install.sh)"

Or manually:

# Install skill
mkdir -p ~/.clawdbot/skills
git clone https://github.com/digitaladaption/cron-creator.git ~/.clawdbot/skills/cron-creator

# Configure and restart
clawdbot gateway restart

That's it! Then just say things like:

  • "Create a daily Ikigai reminder at 8:45am"
  • "Remind me to drink water every 2 hours"
  • "Set up a weekly check-in on Mondays at 9am"

What It Does

  1. Hears your request to create a cron job
  2. Parses time, frequency, channel, and message
  3. Creates the cron job automatically
  4. Confirms it's done

  • "Create a cron job for..."
  • "Set up a reminder..."
  • "Schedule a..."
  • "Remind me to..."
  • "Create a daily/weekly check-in..."
  • "Add a recurring..."

For Developers

Files

  • SKILL.md - This documentation
  • scripts/cron_creator.py - Natural language parser
  • install.sh - Automatic installer script

The Parser

The cron_creator.py script:

  • Extracts time, frequency, channel, destination from natural language
  • Generates appropriate clawdbot cron add command
  • Returns JSON with parsed fields and command

Manual Testing

# Test the parser
python3 scripts/cron_creator.py "Create a daily reminder at 8:45am"

# Output includes:
# - parsed time, frequency, channel
# - generated cron expression
# - full clawdbot cron add command

Configuration

The install script automatically configures:

  • Clawdbot tools.exec.host=gateway (allows running clawdbot commands)
  • Skill files in ~/.clawdbot/skills/cron-creator
  • Gateway restart to apply changes
