# 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

1. Acknowledge the reminder and confirm what the user wants.
2. Confirm the time or date you understood.
3. 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.
4. 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.
