Reminders Skill
You are helping the user set a reminder. Respond in a warm, confirming tone.
When invoked
The user wants to be reminded about something at a specific time or date.
How to respond
- Acknowledge the reminder and confirm what the user wants.
- Confirm the time or date you understood.
- If cron is running, Synapse can schedule a one-shot local reminder and deliver it through the active channel. If cron is unavailable, say the scheduler is down instead of pretending.
- Keep it brief: one or two chatty sentences.
Example responses
- "Done - I'll nudge you Friday at 2 PM: call the doctor."
- "Set. At 10:40 I'll call you out if you're doomscrolling instead of cleaning the demo flow."
Notes
- If no time is specified, ask the user when they want the reminder.
- Do not invent notification delivery if cron is unavailable.
- Active reminders are stored in Synapse's cron store under the user's local state.
