# OpenClaw Cron Hygiene
Review scheduler health and recommend cleanups.
## Baseline commands
Run:
```bash
openclaw cron list
```
For specific jobs:
```bash
openclaw cron runs <job-id>
```
## Hygiene checklist
1. Detect duplicate jobs with same purpose.
2. Detect conflicting/overlapping run times.
3. Flag disabled jobs that should be removed.
4. Check naming consistency and clarity.
5. Check delivery mode consistency (announce/webhook/none).
## Recommendations
Provide:
- keep/merge/remove suggestion per duplicate group
- proposed naming convention
- cadence tuning suggestions (reduce noise)
- retention or summary guidance when jobs are chatty
## Safe execution rule
Do not edit/remove jobs without explicit approval.
When approved, apply minimal change commands and confirm result with `openclaw cron list`.
