Slash Cron

Development community

Description

Claude Code slash command (/cron) shows all active in-memory cron jobs running in Claude Code (even outside of the working directory you're in!). Uses hooks and a simple registry to keep track of what's running, and allows you to manage the crons easily.

Installation

This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no exact command to give. Open the source below and copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.

README

slash-cron

A `/cron` command for [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code) that gives you a persistent, cross-session view of all scheduled cron jobs — including jobs created in other sessions and other directories. Also shows your system crontab alongside Claude Code jobs with `/cron all`.

The problem

Claude Code's `/loop` command is great for scheduling recurring work. But once you create a few jobs across different projects and sessions, you have no idea what's running. There's no built-in way to list them across sessions, no memory of what was scheduled after a session ends, and no way to modify a job without hunting down its ID.

`/cron` fixes all of that. And `/cron all` gives you the full picture — Claude Code jobs and system crontab entries in one view.
