long-waits

What problem does it solve?

Many automation tasks must wait for long delays or for external conditions to become true, but shells and simple timers hit limits and block progress or the agent. This Skill provides a safe, observable pattern to schedule deferred actions and poll conditions without hitting single-sleep timeouts or blocking the agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Chained interval waiting: break long delays into repeated background intervals to bypass shell timeout limits and remain event-driven.
• Condition polling and notifications: periodically check for file presence, CI/deploy completion, or log changes and trigger actions when conditions are met.
• Calendar and wall-clock scheduling: compute time differences, verify system time, and convert target datetimes into interval counts for reliable execution.
• Use case: wait for a staging build to succeed, checking every 10 minutes, then run integration tests and deploy when ready while reporting progress.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to check the target condition every 10 minutes and run the specified task when the condition becomes true.
