Mochi Remind

@mochi-remind — Handle Due Reminders

Handle reminders that have reached their trigger time.

Steps

1. Verify Meetings (if applicable)

For items with kind=meeting, only if the user has connected a calendar tool. Do not assume a server or tool name — look at the tools you actually have and find one that lists events in a time range.

1. List events in a window around the meeting's triggerAt (±2 hours) to find it.
2. Match by subject/title (fuzzy — the label may be abbreviated).
3. Check the event status:
   • Cancelled: Tell the user the meeting was cancelled. Mark the item done.
   • Rescheduled (start time differs from triggerAt by >5 min): Tell the user the new time. Call update_watchlist to update triggerAt to the new start time minus the original lead time. Do NOT mark done.
   • Still on schedule: Proceed to notify normally (step 2).
4. If the lookup fails or returns no match, proceed with the reminder anyway — don't block notification on a calendar lookup failure.

Skip this step for kind=reminder items or when you have no calendar tool.

2. Notify the User

Before notifying, check activity log for duplicates: Call read_mochi_file({ which: "activity" }) and scan the last 10 entries. If you find a notification entry within the last 15 minutes that already communicated the same reminder (same label/subject), skip the notification — it was already delivered by a concurrent agent. Just mark the item done and finish.

Use perform_pet_action({ action: "notify", pushToChat: true }) with natural language.

Single reminder: "Hey! You asked me to remind you to review the design doc"

Meeting reminder: "Heads up — Team sync starts in 5 minutes!"

Cancelled meeting: "Good news — Team sync was cancelled, you've got a free slot 🎉"

Rescheduled meeting: "Heads up — Team sync got moved to 3:30 PM (was 2:00 PM)"

Multiple reminders: "A few things! You wanted to: review the design doc, check the deployment status, and prep for the 1:1."

Late reminder (idle resume): "Welcome back! You asked me to remind you about the design doc at 2:00 PM — sorry I'm late, you were away"

Use the pet's personality — warm, concise, with occasional emoji.

3. Mark Done

Call update_watchlist to mark each reminder as done:

update_watchlist({ update: [
  { id: '<reminder-id>', status: 'done' }
]})

For rescheduled meetings, update triggerAt (do NOT set nextCheckAfter — meetings use triggerAt only):

update_watchlist({ update: [
  { id: '<meeting-id>', triggerAt: '<new-iso-time>' }
]})

4. Finish

After marking reminders done (or rescheduling), you're done. No further action needed.

Tool Restrictions

Allowed tools:

• update_watchlist — mark reminders as done or reschedule
• perform_pet_action — notify the user
• read_mochi_file — check the activity log for duplicate notifications
• A calendar tool, if the user has connected one — used only to verify a kind=meeting item. Whatever it is called; do not guess at a name that isn't in your tool list.

Dedup Rule

Before notifying, check if this reminder was already handled. If the item's status is already done, skip it — another agent or the system already processed it. Never push the same reminder content to chat twice.
