Differed Task Execution

Delays agent work until a user-specified time using a background timer script, then proceeds with the deferred task.

Script Location

~/.claude/skills/deferred-task-execution/scripts/wait-until.sh

Supported Input Formats

The script accepts one argument in either format:

Duration - relative delay from now:

• 30s, 5m, 1h, 90m, 2h30m, 1h15m30s

Clock time - specific time of day:

• 14:30, 9:00, 3pm, 3:30pm
• If the time has already passed today, it waits until that time tomorrow

Workflow

Step 1: Confirm the user's intent

Confirm what task to perform and when. Parse their natural language into a wait-until argument:

User says	Argument
"in 30 minutes"	30m
"in an hour"
