nudge

nudge is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ravila4/claude-adhd-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (683 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reminder system that stores time-based prompts and shows them when the user submits a new prompt. It is meant for human reminders such as stopping work, attending a meeting, or taking a break.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set reminders for a clock time, a specific date and time, or a delay such as 30 minutes. It can remind you to stop, attend a meeting, or take a break.
Why use it?
It helps prevent missed time commitments during a coding session. It does not monitor running programs or automatically check whether a job has finished.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 hooks/add_alert.py "<time>" "<message>".

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

nudge 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 11d 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.

Nudge

Human-facing reminder system for managing focus and pacing. Nudges are stored in SQLite and surface via hook when due.

When to Use

Proactively set nudges when:

  • User mentions a stopping time ("stop me at 11", "I need to wrap up by 5")
  • User mentions a deadline or meeting ("standup in 30 minutes")
  • A long focus session (2+ hours) is underway without breaks
  • User asks for a reminder explicitly

Do NOT use nudge for:

  • Tasks Claude will complete in the current turn
  • Information that should go in memory instead
  • Process monitoring (e.g., "check if the build finished", "see if the pipeline completed"). Nudges require user input (prompt submission) to fire, so they cannot check on running processes. Use sleep <seconds> in Bash instead -- it blocks inline and resumes without requiring user interaction.

Tools

Scripts are located at hooks/:

Adding a Nudge

python3 hooks/add_alert.py "<time>" "<message>"

Time formats:

  • HH:MM - Today at that time (e.g., 23:00)
  • YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM - Specific datetime
  • +30m - 30 minutes from now
  • +2h - 2 hours from now

Acknowledging a Nudge

When a nudge has been addressed, dismiss it:

python3 hooks/ack_alert.py <id>

Viewing Nudges

sqlite3 hooks/alerts.db "SELECT id, due_at, message FROM alerts WHERE acknowledged = 0"

Message Format

Messages are notes-to-self for Claude. Include:

  1. Reason - Why this nudge was set
  2. Action - What to do when it fires

Format: reason - action to take

Examples

User asked to stop at 11 PM - wrap up current work and suggest break
User mentioned standup in 30m - remind to prep notes
2 hours on debugging session - check if stuck, suggest break
Deployment window opens at 14:00 - remind user to run deploy script

When Nudges Fire

Due nudges appear in the system-reminder on each prompt submission. When a nudge fires:

  1. Read the message to understand context and action
  2. Take the specified action (remind user, suggest break, etc.)
  3. Acknowledge the nudge so it doesn't repeat

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.
