This skill provides guidance on defining recurring scheduled jobs (crons) in a Convex application. It outlines a workflow for creating a convex/crons.ts file, scheduling internal functions (never public API functions), and ensuring handlers are idempotent and keep each run small. It also emphasizes avoiding tight polling intervals and verifying the job appears in the dashboard.

# Add scheduled jobs (crons)

Define recurring jobs in convex/crons.ts targeting internal functions, with sane intervals and idempotent handlers.

## Workflow

1. Create convex/crons.ts with cronJobs().
2. Schedule internal functions (never public api.*) at the right interval.
3. Make handlers idempotent (safe to re-run); keep each run small.
4. Verify the job appears in the dashboard schedule.

## Rules

- Schedule internal.* functions, never api.*.
- Keep cron handlers small + idempotent.
- Don't poll tight intervals for things a subscription can push.
