Readme
Cron Pi Plugin
Pi package port of the legacy dex-claude-plugin, renamed for Pi as cron.
Cron schedules one-time or recurring agent jobs. This Pi version registers a TypeScript extension that starts the upstream scheduler MCP stdio server with npx -y dex-claude-plugin and exposes its tools in Pi with a cron_ prefix and Cron-oriented aliases.
