When a cron job's prompt starts with "/", parse it as a slash command and attempt to resolve it through the skill registry. If the command matches a known skill, use BuildSkillInvocationPrompt to expand it into full skill instructions before sending to the agent. This allows cron jobs to invoke skills just like regular chat messages. Unknown slash commands (not registered skills) pass through unchanged to the agent. Changes: - Add skill expansion logic in ExecuteCronJob before creating Message - Log expanded skill name and args for debugging - Add regression tests for skill expansion and unknown command passthrough Closes #856 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

LGTM — clean skill command expansion for cron prompts.
The inline approach (resolve in ExecuteCronJob using e.skills.Resolve + BuildSkillInvocationPrompt) is simpler than #860's separate expandCronSkillPrompt method. Unknown slash commands correctly pass through to the agent unchanged.
✅ Logging on expansion (good for debugging)
✅ Two regression tests: expansion + passthrough for unknown commands
✅ Closes #856
