Description: SCHEDULING. Use this skill exclusively to set recurring or one-time reminders (e.g., "remind me in 2 hours") and scheduled tasks (e.g., "schedule a task to check email every day at 9am"). This is the only tool that interfaces with the cron-manager service. Use it when user asks to reminder or schedule.

Reminder Skill

Set up one-time or recurring reminders for the user.

When to Use

USE this skill when the user asks to:

• "Remind me to [do something] [at/in/every/...] [time]"
• "Set a reminder for [time] to [do something]"
• "Don't forget to [do something] [time]"
• "Notify me [time] about [something]"

DON'T use this skill when:

• The user is asking to list current reminders (use core /reminders command instead).
• The user is asking to cancel a reminder.
• The user is asking to work with notes (use apple-notes skill).

Instructions

1. Extract the Task: Identify what the user wants to be reminded about.
2. Extract the Time: Identify the temporal expression (e.g., "in 2 hours", "every day at 8am").
3. Schedule: Call the schedule_reminder tool with the extracted time, message, and isAction flag.
4. User instructions: If user's request contains instructions and actions for YOU to DO something (e.g., "check email", "search the web"), set isAction: true and include the instructions in the message. If it's just a passive text reminder to the user to do something themselves, omit isAction or set it to false.

Tool: schedule_reminder

Arguments:

• time: (string) Natural language time expression (e.g., "in 5 minutes", "tomorrow at 3pm", "every Monday").
• message: (string) The content of the reminder or the instruction for the action to take.
• isAction: (boolean, optional) Set to true if the reminder requires YOU (the AI) to execute a task, such as checking emails or searching the web. Set to false or omit if it's just a text reminder for the user.

Strategy

• Be precise with the message. If user's request contains instructions for the AI to perform an action, include them ALL into the reminder message and be SURE to set isAction: true.
• If the user provides a vague time, ask for clarification if necessary, or use your best judgment (e.g., "later today" could be "in 4 hours").
• The system will automatically handle parsing the natural language time string into a cron expression.

Example Workflow

User Goal: "check my email and mark spam in 20 minutes"

1. Call schedule_reminder(time="in 20 minutes", message="Check inbox for new email. Mark spam", isAction=true).
2. Respond to the user: "Sure! Your email will be checked in 20 minutes."
