When developing DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugins or agents, you often need to parse cron expressions to confirm task schedules or predict future execution times. The dsh-cron plugin provides this capability.

Plugin Overview

This is a pure Node plugin used to parse standard 5-field cron expressions and return a human-readable description along with the next N execution times.

Core Capabilities

  • Parse cron expressions
  • Return a human-readable description
  • Calculate the next execution time

Installation and Activation

Run the installation command:

dsh plugin add github:uckkk/dsh-cron

After installation, add "dsh-cron" to the dsh.profile.bundles field in the profile’s package.json file.

Typical Usage

Call the cron_parse tool provided by the plugin. For example:

cron_parse(expr="*/5 * * * *", count=5)

Notes

Installing the plugin runs third-party code on your local machine. Please review the source code yourself.
