+-->
+
+The [pg_cron](https://github.com/citusdata/pg_cron) PostgreSQL extension
+provides a simple cron-based job scheduler that runs inside the database as an
+extension. It uses the same syntax as regular cron, while allowing you to
+schedule PostgreSQL commands directly from the database. For more information,
+see the [official documentation](https://github.com/citusdata/pg_cron).
+
+## Usage
+
+### 1. Add the pg_cron extension image to your Cluster
+
+Define the `pg-cron` extension under the `postgresql.extensions` section of
+your `Cluster` resource. Since pg_cron requires a shared preload library,
+ensure it is also listed in `shared_preload_libraries`. For example:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: postgresql.cnpg.io/v1
+kind: Cluster
+metadata:
+  name: cluster-pg-cron
+spec:
+  imageName: ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg/postgresql:18-minimal-trixie
+  instances: 1
+
+  storage:
+    size: 1Gi
+
+  postgresql:
+    shared_preload_libraries:
+    - pg_cron
+    extensions:
+    - name: pg-cron
+      image:
+        # renovate: suite=trixie-pgdg depName=postgresql-18-cron
+        reference: ghcr.io/cloudnative-pg/pg-cron:1.6.7-18-trixie
+```
+
+### 2. Enable the extension in a database
+
+You can install `pg_cron` in a specific database by creating or updating a
+`Database` resource. For example, to enable it in the `app` database:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: postgresql.cnpg.io/v1
+kind: Database
+metadata:
+  name: cluster-pg-cron-app
+spec:
+  name: app
+  owner: app
+  cluster:
+    name: cluster-pg-cron
+  extensions:
+  - name: pg_cron
+    # renovate: suite=trixie-pgdg depName=postgresql-18-cron
+    version: '1.6.7'
+```
+
+### 3. Verify installation
+
+Once the database is ready, connect to it with `psql` and run:
+
+```sql
+\dx
+```
+
+You should see `pg_cron` listed among the installed extensions.
