Casual Cron

Create Clawdbot cron jobs from natural language. Supports one-shot and repeating schedules with safe run-guard rules.

Cron Run Guard (Hard Rules)

When running inside a cron job: do NOT troubleshoot, do NOT restart gateway, and do NOT check time. Do NOT send acknowledgements or explanations. Output ONLY the exact message payload and then stop.

How It Works

Agent detects scheduling intent from user message (or /at / /every command) Parses: time, frequency, channel, destination, message Builds openclaw cron add command with correct flags Confirms parsed time, job name, and job id with user before executing

Scheduling Rules

When a message starts with /at or /every, schedule via the CLI (NOT the cron tool API). Use: openclaw cron add

/at (one-shot)

If user gives a clock time (e.g., "3pm"), convert to ISO with offset computed for America/New_York on that date (DST-safe). Prefer relative times for near-term reminders (e.g., --at "20m"). Use --session isolated --message "Output exactly: <task>". Always include --delete-after-run. Always include --deliver --channel <channel> --to <destination>.

/every (repeating)

If interval: use --every "<duration>" (no timezone needed). If clock time: use --cron "<expr>" --tz "America/New_York". Use --session isolated --message "Output exactly: <task>". Always include --deliver --channel <channel> --to <destination>.

Confirmation

Always confirm parsed time, job name, and job id with the user before finalizing.

Command Reference

One-shot (clock time, DST-aware): openclaw cron add \ --name "Reminder example" \ --at "2026-01-28T15:00:00-05:00" \ --session isolated \ --message "Output exactly: <TASK>" \ --deliver --channel telegram --to <TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID> \ --delete-after-run One-shot (relative time): openclaw cron add \ --name "Reminder in 20m" \ --at "20m" \ --session isolated \ --message "Output exactly: <TASK>" \ --deliver --channel telegram --to <TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID> \ --delete-after-run Repeating (clock time, DST-aware): openclaw cron add \ --name "Daily 3pm reminder" \ --cron "0 15 * * *" --tz "America/New_York" \ --session isolated \ --message "Output exactly: <TASK>" \ --deliver --channel telegram --to <TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID> Repeating (interval): openclaw cron add \ --name "Every 2 hours" \ --every "2h" \ --session isolated \ --message "Output exactly: <TASK>" \ --deliver --channel telegram --to <TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID>
