README (SKILL.md)
Poke
When to Use
Use poke for reminders, alarms, recurring nudges, deferred agent work,
reply-driven escalation, and reminder side effects such as scripts that
start before delivery or stop when the user replies.
Core Workflow
- Classify the poke style from the user's request.
- Read the matching
sub-skills/*.mdfile before building the command. - Check for an existing matching reminder before creating a duplicate.
- Use
--dry-runfor unfamiliar flag combinations. - Forward plausible user replies with
poke --reply; readsub-skills/replies.mdfirst when handling replies.
Sub-skill Routing
| If making or handling... | Read first |
|---|---|
| Basic one-shot, exact-time, recurring reminders, or deferred tasks | sub-skills/scheduling.md |
| "Keep poking until I reply", escalation, rotating tones, heartbeat-style checks, unconfirmed followups, task intervals | sub-skills/escalation.md |
| Pre/post actions, side-effect scripts, wake lights, or stop-on-reply hooks | sub-skills/stages.md |
| User replies such as done, cancel, snooze, later, or ambiguous inbound messages | sub-skills/replies.md |
| Quiet hours, active hours, DND, urgent delivery, or "do not wake me" behavior | sub-skills/quiet-hours.md |
| Multiple channels, dependency chains, or per-channel visibility | sub-skills/multi-channel.md |
| Listing, showing, cancelling, history, stats, presets, tones, path sets, or state layout | sub-skills/management.md |
| Inferred promises like "I'll check on that tomorrow" without a precise fire time | sub-skills/commitments.md |
| Migrating OpenClaw heartbeat polling into scheduled poke tasks | sub-skills/migration.md |
Notes
--remindis for static reminder text.--taskis for deferred agent work and needs--agent.--channeland--targetidentify where delivery and replies happen.- Poke has no ears; inbound user messages must be forwarded explicitly.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust this publisher and want a scheduler that can create OS timers and run local commands later. Avoid command hooks unless you wrote the exact script, keep path sets limited to non-sensitive files, do not store secrets in commitments, and disable or avoid vector tones unless you are comfortable with the configured embedding endpoint.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The core purpose is coherent: reminders, recurring nudges, deferred agent tasks, and OS-native scheduling. However, the artifacts also make arbitrary local command hooks and reply-triggered hooks first-class persisted features, which is high-impact authority for a reminder skill.
Instruction Scope
The docs disclose many advanced behaviors, but they normalize broad reply forwarding, LLM-based reply classification, command hooks, path sets, and future prompt injection without strong consent, allowlisting, or per-execution confirmation. Commitments are documented as scoped by agent/channel/target, but the implementation injects all due commitments into task prompts.
Install Mechanism
The package is a Node CLI with no declared dependencies or install scripts. Optional migration scripts can edit OpenClaw config only with --apply and create a backup, but normal use creates scheduler entries and local runtime state.
Credentials
Access to the OpenClaw CLI/config and OS schedulers is expected for this purpose, but hook subprocesses inherit the process environment and receive reminder text plus channel/target metadata, which is broader than necessary for many reminders.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill persists reminder state, history, commitments, path sets, and systemd/launchd/schtasks timers. Persisted reminders can later run arbitrary argv commands under the user's privileges, with logging but no clear runtime approval gate.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install pokecron - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/pokecron - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Initial release — replaces heartbeat polling with reliable, reply-aware reminders and deferred agent tasks.
- OS-scheduled reminders and agent tasks: no daemons, no polling required (systemd/launchd/Task Scheduler support).
- Fast reply matching: forwards user responses to auto-cancel, snooze, or confirm reminders.
- Robust reminder creation, listing, management, and history—stateless delivery with local tracking.
- Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows).
- Modular design: sub-skills available for escalation, quiet hours, multi-channel, commitments, and more.
- All state and history managed locally under `.runtime/`, no cloud storage required.
