SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Schedule, inspect, or cancel one-time future wake-ups for Claude to re-evaluate time-sensitive state, preserve prior context or approvals, or trigger guarded actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ScheduleWakeup: run a wake prompt after a chosen in-session delay to keep the task alive.
  • CronCreate (durable): pin a one-shot wake to a specific wall-clock time with optional durability, enabling tasks like market-open checks or deadline reminders.
  • Safety & guardrails: provides pre-flight prompts, verification steps, and cancelation of existing wakeups to prevent duplicates.

Quick Start

Schedule a one-time wake-up for Claude 30 minutes from now and confirm the future prompt before it fires.

FAQPage Schema
How do I schedule a one-time wake-up for Claude to check time-sensitive state?

To schedule a one-time wake-up for Claude, use the ScheduleWakeup feature to set an in-session delay or CronCreate to pin it to a specific wall-clock time. This triggers a future prompt to re-evaluate time-sensitive state.

Can I set a specific wall-clock time for a deadline reminder instead of a delay?

Yes, you can set a specific wall-clock time for a deadline reminder by using the durable CronCreate feature. This pins a one-shot wake-up to an exact time, enabling tasks like market-open checks.

How do I prevent duplicate scheduled wake-ups for the same task?

To prevent duplicate scheduled wake-ups, the Skill automatically cancels any existing wake-ups before installing a new one. It also provides pre-flight prompts and verification steps to ensure guarded actions.

Does this wake-up scheduling method keep my prior context and approvals intact?

Yes, scheduling a future wake-up preserves prior context and approvals. When the wake prompt fires, Claude resumes the task with the previous state intact, allowing for guarded actions.

What is the best way to trigger a market-open check or future deadline reminder?

The best way to trigger a market-open check or deadline reminder is using the CronCreate function. It pins a durable, one-shot wake-up to a specific wall-clock time for Claude to re-evaluate state.

When should I use ScheduleWakeup versus CronCreate for automation workflows?

Use ScheduleWakeup for in-session delays to keep a task alive, and use CronCreate for durable, one-shot wake-ups pinned to a specific wall-clock time. Both include guardrails to cancel existing wake-ups first.
