Does this skill prevent infinite loops?

Yes, the skill enforces safety bounds by requiring a maximum duration or a set number of attempts for all polling operations.

How do I schedule a one-time delay in Claude Code?

You can use the /delay command with the --minutes flag or the --until flag to specify exactly when the follow-up action should occur.

Will Claude stay active during a long delay?

The skill uses a heartbeat system that prints a simple status message once per interval to show it is still waiting without generating excessive output.

Can I poll a service until it becomes successful?

Yes, by using the --every and --stop-on-success flags, you can set an interval for Claude to check a status and stop as soon as the criteria are met.

Automates scheduled execution and status polling for CI/CD pipelines, pull request checks, and background developer workflows.

Acerca de

This skill empowers Claude to manage time-sensitive operations by scheduling one-shot delays or bounded polling intervals. It is specifically designed for developers waiting on external processes such as GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, or PR deployments, allowing the AI to automatically resume tasks or check statuses without manual prompting. With support for 'stop-on-success' logic and configurable heartbeats, it provides a structured way to handle asynchronous development tasks while maintaining visibility and preventing runaway execution loops.

Características Principales

Bounded polling loops with configurable intervals and maximum retry attempts
Low-noise heartbeat system to provide liveness updates without cluttering the console
Stop-on-success logic that terminates polling once specific conditions are met
One-shot task scheduling using specific durations or ISO timestamps
0 GitHub stars
Safety bounds to prevent infinite loops and enforce minimum wait intervals

Casos de Uso

Waiting for a GitHub Action or CI pipeline to finish before executing the next deployment step
Scheduling a follow-up code review or verification task after a set period
Polling a PR status until all checks have passed to proceed with a merge
