## Documentation

### 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>
