follow-up

follow-up is a command for Claude Code from damusix/atomic-claude. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,211 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for handling reminders and project follow-up items. It can list reminders, show one that is due, or review older follow-up entries for a decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review all reminders, respond to a due reminder, or extend, close, promote, or skip stale project follow-ups.
Why use it?
It keeps pending tasks visible and gives each reminder a clear next action instead of letting it disappear after being scheduled. It can use scheduled jobs when available and otherwise keep the reminder as a file.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

follow-up scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 383 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Handle pending reminders and project follow-up entries. Three modes: bare (/follow-up), cron-fired (/follow-up due <id>), and review (/follow-up review).

Spec: docs/spec/cron-workflow.md § /follow-up

<reminders-dir> below is atomic where --json's reminders field when the atomic binary is present, else the .claude/.scratchpad/reminders/ fallback dir used when it is absent — the legacy path reminder.List already unions and atomic migrate already relocates. Paths come from atomic scratchpad / atomic where --json; if what you find on disk does not match, run atomic migrate --show-log for the change history.

Mode detection

Inspect $ARGUMENTS:

  • Empty → bare flow (interactive list, steps 1–6 below).
  • due <id>cron-fired flow (steps A–D below).
  • reviewreview flow (steps R1–R6 below).

Bare flow

Step 1 — Build the indexed reminder list

Detect binary:

  • Binary present (command -v atomic exits 0):

    atomic reminder list
    

    Output is indexed and includes the transport column. Capture it.

  • Fallback (binary absent): list and parse files manually:

    ls .claude/.scratchpad/reminders/*.md 2>/dev/null
    

    For each file, extract frontmatter fields via grep:

    grep -m1 '^id:'        <file>   # → id
    grep -m1 '^created:'   <file>   # → created timestamp
    grep -m1 '^transport:' <file>   # → transport (cron|routine|none)
    

    Then read the body (lines after the closing ---). Build an indexed list from those fields.

    If no files found: print no reminders. and exit.

Step 2 — Optionally enrich with schedule info

For each reminder, attempt to find its live schedule entry:

  • cron transport: call CronList and search for an entry whose prompt contains /follow-up due <id>. If found, note the next-fire time as "fires in X" or "fires at ".
  • routine transport: if a routine listing is accessible, search for an entry with the matching prompt. Note fire time if found.
  • none transport: no schedule lookup needed. The reminder will surface via the session-start hook only.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

follow-up is a command published in the GitHub repository damusix/atomic-claude (84 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,211 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
