description	Schedule, list and cancel one-shot reminders via cron. Invoke when operator says "remind me at X", "in 10 minutes", "tomorrow at 9", "list my reminders", or "cancel reminder N".

quick-reminders

Simple cron-based one-shot reminders. No openclaw binary dependency -- the agent writes cron entries directly via crontab -l | crontab -.

When to use

• Operator asks "remind me in 10 minutes to stretch".
• Operator asks "remind me tomorrow at 9am".
• Operator asks "list my reminders" or "cancel reminder 3".

How it works

Three helper scripts live in $HOME/.claude-lab/{AGENT}/.claude/skills/quick-reminders/scripts/:

• create.sh TIMESPEC MESSAGE -- append a one-shot cron entry.
• list.sh -- print pending reminders.
• delete.sh ID -- remove one by numeric ID.

Reminder cron lines are tagged with # qr:ID=<nonce> so the skill can find and delete them without touching the operator's other crontab entries.

Delivery uses the same Telegram bot as the gateway:

TOKEN=$(cat $HOME/claude-gateway/secrets/bot-token)
curl -fsSL --max-time 30 \
  -d "chat_id=${TG_ID}" -d "text=${MESSAGE}" \
  "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TOKEN}/sendMessage"

The skill reads TG_ID from the gateway config (allowlist_user_ids[0]).

Time formats supported

• in 10m, in 2h, in 3d -> relative offsets
• 2026-05-01 14:30 -> absolute (local time)
• tomorrow 9am, monday 8:00 -> natural, parsed via GNU date -d

Not supported

• Recurring reminders (use plain cron for that).
• Timezone-aware scheduling beyond the server's local time.
• Snooze / edit in-place (cancel + recreate instead).
