delaying-tasks

Delay actions execute a single task after a specified duration using /delay commands. The Skill schedules one-shot delays with precise timing, returning success confirmation and elapsed duration, then continues your workflow automatically.

Bounded interval polling checks a condition at regular intervals with configurable attempt or duration limits. The Skill stops automatically once success is detected, preventing unnecessary repeated checks and returning attempt count and completion status.

Use bounded polling to query the GitHub API at regular intervals with a maximum duration or attempt count. The Skill handles stop-on-success logic, stopping as soon as the workflow completes and eliminating manual status verification steps.

Configure polling parameters including heartbeat cadence, maximum duration, and maximum attempts. The Skill enforces these bounds automatically, tracks progress across attempts, and supports optional prompt actions before executing the polled task.

The Skill supports both one-shot delays and bounded polling within the same workflow, enabling sequences like delay-then-poll or poll-then-delay patterns. Combine both via script components for complex asynchronous task chains.

Polling enforces maximum duration and attempt constraints with safe cancellation rules. If limits are reached, the Skill returns stopped_early status, allowing your workflow to handle timeout scenarios or trigger fallback actions.
