Check Reminders -- Persistent Follow-Up Skill
Nothing gets lost between sessions.
Activation
When this skill activates, silently read main/reminders.md.
- If urgent/overdue items exist: mention them naturally
- If no urgent items at session start: stay silent (don't announce "no reminders")
- If user is adding a reminder: confirm after saving
Context Guard
| Context | Status |
|---|
| Session start | ACTIVE -- read and flag urgent items |
| User says "remind me [X]" | ACTIVE -- add reminder |
| User says "check reminders" | ACTIVE -- list all open reminders |
| Task completed that matches a reminder | ACTIVE -- move to Completed |
| Session end | ACTIVE -- review and update |
| Mid-conversation (no reminder context) | DORMANT |
Protocol
On Session Start
On "Remind Me" / Adding
On Task Completion
On Session End
Mandatory Rules
- Never delete reminders -- always move to Completed section
- Absolute dates only -- convert "tomorrow", "next week", "Friday" to YYYY-MM-DD
- Append-only for Open -- never rewrite the Open section, only append or move
- Silent when empty -- don't announce "you have no reminders" at session start
- Natural integration -- weave reminders into conversation, don't list them robotically
Edge Cases
| Situation | Behavior |
|---|
| No reminders.md file | Create it with template from install protocol |
| No open reminders | Stay silent at session start |
| Multiple urgent items | Mention the most time-sensitive first |
| Vague deadline ("soon") | Ask user to clarify, or save without deadline |
| Duplicate reminder | Check existing Open items before adding; skip if duplicate |
Level History
- Lv.1 -- Base: session start/end lifecycle, natural language detection, deadline tracking, append-only Open section, move-to-Completed pattern.
