Cron hygiene and cost-control for OpenClaw. Use to audit/optimize scheduled jobs (cron): detect duplicates, noisy notifications, heavy cadence, repeated failures, and propose safe changes. Default is report-only (no automatic cron updates/removals) and requires explicit user approval before applying schedule changes.

# AOI Cron Ops (Lite)
## What this skill does
- Produces a **single, human-readable cron audit report** from an OpenClaw cron job list.
- Flags common ops issues:
- duplicate purpose (multiple jobs doing the same thing)
- notification spam (too many announce jobs)
- over-frequent cadence (high cost / high load)
- repeated failures / flaky external dependencies
- missing/invalid env prerequisites (e.g., vault file not present)
## Guardrails (non-negotiable)
- **Lite = report-only by default.**
- Do **not** disable/update/remove cron jobs unless the user explicitly says to apply a specific change.
- When proposing changes, prefer **minimal, reversible** edits:
- change delivery to `none`
- slow cadence
- add a digest job
## Quick start (operator)
1) Get current cron list (JSON):
- If you have the OpenClaw tool: call `cron(list)` and save output.
- If you are on terminal: `openclaw cron list --json > cron_jobs.json` (if available).
2) Run analyzer:
```bash
python3 skills/aoi-cron-ops-lite/scripts/analyze_cron_jobs.py --in cron_jobs.json
```
## Output format (expected)
- 10–25 lines:
- totals (enabled/disabled)
- top risks (1–5)
- recommended actions (grouped)
- “apply plan” (explicit patches to run, but not executed)
## Pro version boundary (for later)
- Pro may auto-apply safe patches (with policy + approvals), generate PR-like diffs for cron config, and maintain a history ledger.
- Lite must never auto-apply.
