## What hermes-cron does, in the publisher's words

A skill that teaches Hermes Agent to run its cron scheduler like a careful operator: pick the right lifecycle action, keep jobs cheap and quiet, verify every change and find the broken layer when a reminder does not arrive. It ships with a read-only doctor script that complements the built-in hermes cron doctor.

Cron failures in an agent look like success. The tool answers success: true, the record says paused, last_status is ok, and the messages keep coming, or never arrive. Typical causes:

- a bare 30m was meant as "in 30 minutes" but schedules a job every 30 minutes;
- the prompt says "send a summary", so the agent sends it and the scheduler delivers it again;
