Cron Expression Builder: questions
What is a cron expression?
A cron expression is a 5-field string (minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week) used to schedule recurring tasks. For example, "0 9 * * 1-5" means "at 9:00 AM, Monday through Friday."
What is in the schedule handoff pack?
The pack includes a UTC-aware GitHub Actions starter, crontab command, node-cron snippet, release review checklist, schedule-shape warnings, and a small validation smoke scaffold.
Where can I use cron expressions?
Linux/Unix cron (crontab), GitHub Actions scheduled workflows, AWS EventBridge, GCP Cloud Scheduler, Kubernetes CronJobs, Laravel scheduler, Node.js node-cron, and many CI/CD systems.
