scheduler

What This Skill Does

The Scheduler skill acts as the central time-management engine for your OpenClaw AI agent, automating routine operations, reporting, and event-triggered workflows. By integrating directly with Cloudflare Workers via cron triggers, it ensures that your agent operates consistently across time zones. It is designed to bridge the gap between static code and dynamic execution, allowing the agent to handle daily check-ins, social media publication schedules, and long-term financial reporting without manual intervention. The skill includes a robust built-in retry mechanism, ensuring that failed tasks—like API calls to freelance platforms or database logs—are automatically retried before escalating to human oversight.

Installation

To integrate the Scheduler skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sa9saq/scheduler

Ensure that your environment supports Cloudflare Workers if you wish to leverage the pre-configured cron job triggers defined in the wrangler.toml file. Once installed, you can modify the task registry to align with your specific operating hours.

Use Cases

• Automated Platform Management: Automatically scan marketplaces like Fiverr and Coconala every hour for new inquiries, ensuring rapid response times.
• Content Pipeline: Schedule X and Threads posts for golden-hour engagement while using the thought-logger integration to gather content ideas throughout the day.
• Business Intelligence: Automatically aggregate daily revenue and progress metrics every night at 23:00, creating comprehensive summaries for long-term trend analysis.
• Operational Maintenance: Run weekly reviews on Mondays and monthly performance assessments on the 1st of each month to keep objectives synchronized.

Example Prompts

1. "Scheduler, pause all social media posting tasks for the next 48 hours while I'm on vacation."
2. "Please add a new recurring task to check for platform updates every Tuesday at 10:00 AM."
3. "Show me the status of all failed tasks from today and explain why the 19:00 post failed."

Tips & Limitations

• Safety First: The scheduler has hard-coded restrictions to prevent unauthorized actions. It cannot perform sensitive operations such as fund transfers or account setting modifications; these must be handled by an authorized human administrator.
• Timezone Awareness: All schedules are mapped to JST (UTC+9). Ensure your environment clock is synced to prevent drifting in task execution.
• Error Handling: The system uses an exponential backoff strategy for failed tasks (5 min, 15 min, then notify). Do not disable the notification hook, as it is the only way to track persistent, unrecoverable system errors.
