Schedule any script to run on a recurring schedule on Windows (Task Scheduler) or Linux (cron) - register, list, and remove jobs from one command, with logging to a file and a guard against overlapping runs. Use for schedule a script, run nightly, set up a cron job, windows task scheduler, or run on a timer.

Use this skill when a script must run unattended on a schedule and the same pattern has to work on both a Windows dev box and a Linux server. It gives copy-paste setup for Windows Task Scheduler and Linux cron, plus logging and an overlap guard so a slow run never stacks on top of the next tick.
