Create, query, update and delete scheduled tasks whenever a request has future-time intent like 'in 2 days' or 'every morning', instead of writing custom scheduler scripts.
About
using-cron manages scheduled tasks for an agent: create, query, update and delete them. Whenever a user message carries future-time intent such as 'in 2 days', 'tomorrow at 8am' or 'every morning', this skill must be loaded first, and it explicitly forbids writing custom scheduler scripts. A solo builder relies on it so recurring or deferred work is scheduled reliably through one consistent interface.
- Create, query, update and delete scheduled tasks
- Load first on any future-time intent
- Never write custom scheduler scripts
