Cron Reminder Skill

Cuándo se Activa

Para crear recordatorios de una sola ejecución (one_shot): "recuérdame a las 3pm", "avísame en 30 minutos", etc.

Herramientas

Cómo Funciona

1. Preguntar → ¿De qué te aviso? ¿A qué hora? ¿Por qué canal?
2. Crear → cron.create con task_type: 'one_shot' y fire_at en formato ISO
3. Confirmar → Mostrar hora programada

Parámetros

Errores Comunes

• ❌ Olvidar el campo task — obligatorio para que el agente sepa qué enviar
• ❌ Usar expresiones cron para recordatorios (usar fire_at en vez de cron_expression)
• ❌ Poner fire_at en el pasado
