If your cron jobs spawn fresh LLM sessions with full MCP/terminal/filesystem access, a natural-language skill beats a Python script. The LLM can reason through edge cases, call the right tools in the right order, and adapt when APIs misbehave — all things a brittle script can't. In this build, we pivoted mid-flight from a 500-line Python script to a skill after realizing cron sessions get the full toolset.
