Recurring updates, now systematic.
A new set of conventions for cron-based publishing jobs landed today. This makes scheduled release-note generation and project-update publishing predictable and maintainable.
Key improvements:
- Standardized cron specs: Clear scheduling, timezone handling, and dependency declaration
- Metadata workflows: Expanded skill metadata with better validation
- Publishing integration: Cron jobs now compose cleanly with deploy-blog and release-notes workflows
This turns “remember to publish updates every Friday” into a system that just… does it. With safety checks. And approval gates.
The first cron using this pattern is cron-publish-release-notes, which runs every Friday at 10 AM Pacific.
