Hermes Cron
Operating skill for Hermes cron: lifecycle rules (pause vs disable vs remove, `in 30m` vs `30m`), four ways to avoid needless LLM runs (no_agent, wakeAgent pre-check, monitor, [SILENT]), verify-after-change, a layered runbook and a read-only doctor that complements `hermes cron doctor` and reports one error across several jobs as one scheduler fault and a cron store that cannot be written. Portable Agent Plugins v1 package (plugin.json + skills/); no tools, hooks, middleware or env vars.
Good to know before installing
Skill only, no network; the bundled doctor reads ~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json, ticker stamps and executions.db (or a named profile's store with --profile) read-only, checks the cron directory's permissions and free space without writing, and runs the local hermes cron doctor (argument list, no shell), whose job loader may repair malformed jobs.json entries (--no-builtin skips it).

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-cron - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-cron - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
