Reminder

Set a background timer for Claude to check back on long-running tasks.

Purpose

When managing long-running processes (cluster jobs, benchmarks, inference, training runs, etc.), use this skill to wake yourself up after a delay. When the reminder triggers, check on the task status and decide next steps:

• •Set another reminder if still running
• •Make edits and resubmit if something failed
• •Report results if complete
• •Take any other appropriate action

Usage

1. •Parse the time (e.g., "30 minutes", "1 hour")
2. •Convert to seconds
3. •Run the command in the background using Bash with run_in_background: true
4. •Include context about what to check on

Command format

sleep SECONDS && echo "CHECK: description of what to check"

Example Workflow

1. •User asks to submit training jobs
2. •Claude submits training jobs
3. •Claude sets a reminder to check back
4. •Reminder triggers → Claude checks training job status
5. •Claude decides: wait longer (new reminder), fix any bugs and resubmit, or report completion

Other examples:

• •After submitting a learning rate sweep: sleep 1800 && echo "CHECK: learning rate sweep jobs on cluster"
• •After starting a benchmark: sleep 3600 && echo "CHECK: benchmark run status"
• •After kicking off inference: sleep 600 && echo "CHECK: inference batch progress"
