This skill no longer installs under the name convex-cron-jobs. SKILL.md frontmatter is not valid YAML, so the skills CLI skips it.

We check each listing against its upstream repository with the rules the skills CLI uses, last on 2026-10-13. We don't show a command we know will fail.

Automated safety checks

scanned 27 Sept 2026

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned waynesutton/convexskills at 8ef49c9667.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The convex-cron-jobs skill enables AI agents to schedule and manage recurring tasks using a cron-like syntax. It allows users to define jobs that run at specified intervals, such as daily backups or data synchronization, ensuring consistent execution without manual intervention.

When to use it

Automating routine maintenance tasks like log rotation or database cleanup.
Scheduling periodic data syncs between systems or external APIs.
Running batch processing jobs during off-peak hours for performance optimization.

Key capabilities

Define recurring tasks using cron syntax.
Schedule jobs to run at specific times or intervals.
Monitor and manage job execution logs.

Example prompts

"Schedule a backup of the database every day at 2 AM."
"Run a data sync with the external API every hour."
"Set up a log cleanup task to execute weekly on Sundays."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure that the AI agent has proper permissions and access to the systems where jobs will run.
Test cron expressions using an online validator before deploying them to avoid scheduling errors.
