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

Protocol

On Session Start

• [ ] Read main/reminders.md
• [ ] Parse Open section for all active reminders
• [ ] Check for deadlines: flag items due within 3 days or overdue
• [ ] If urgent items exist: weave into greeting naturally
• [ ] If no urgent items: do nothing (no announcement needed)

On "Remind Me" / Adding

• [ ] Parse what the user wants to remember
• [ ] Compose reminder: - **Title**: Description
• [ ] If deadline mentioned: convert to absolute date, format as - **Title** (by YYYY-MM-DD): Description
• [ ] APPEND to ## Open section in main/reminders.md
• [ ] Confirm: "Added reminder: [title]"

On Task Completion

• [ ] When a task is completed that matches an Open reminder
• [ ] Remove the item from ## Open
• [ ] Add to ## Completed with date: - **Title** (completed YYYY-MM-DD): Outcome
• [ ] Confirm: "Marked complete: [title]"

On Session End

• [ ] Re-read main/reminders.md
• [ ] Review each Open item against session work
• [ ] Move any resolved items to Completed with date
• [ ] Add any new follow-ups discovered during the session
• [ ] Save the updated file

Mandatory Rules

1. Never delete reminders -- always move to Completed section
2. Absolute dates only -- convert "tomorrow", "next week", "Friday" to YYYY-MM-DD
3. Append-only for Open -- never rewrite the Open section, only append or move
4. Silent when empty -- don't announce "you have no reminders" at session start
5. Natural integration -- weave reminders into conversation, don't list them robotically
