Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00055 | $0.00751 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00376 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00150 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00075 |
Grade A, and why
differed-task-execution 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 yesterday.
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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Differed Task Execution
Delays agent work until a user-specified time using a background timer script, then proceeds with the deferred task.
Script Location
~/.claude/skills/deferred-task-execution/scripts/wait-until.sh
Supported Input Formats
The script accepts one argument in either format:
Duration - relative delay from now:
30s,5m,1h,90m,2h30m,1h15m30s
Clock time - specific time of day:
14:30,9:00,3pm,3:30pm- If the time has already passed today, it waits until that time tomorrow
Workflow
Step 1: Confirm the user's intent
Confirm what task to perform and when. Parse their natural language into a wait-until argument:
| User says | Argument |
|---|---|
| "in 30 minutes" | 30m |
| "in an hour" | 1h |
| "in 2 and a half hours" | 2h30m |
| "at 3pm" | 3pm |
| "at 14:30" | 14:30 |
| "at half past 9" | 9:30am |
The script self-handles timezone via the USER_TZ variable defined at the top of wait-until.sh (defaults to Australia/Melbourne). Clock-time arguments are interpreted in that zone regardless of host TZ. Don't ask the user about timezones unless they mention travelling.
Tell the user exactly what will happen and when the timer will fire. Ask them to confirm before starting.
Step 2: Launch the timer in background
Run the wait script using Bash with run_in_background: true:
~/.claude/skills/deferred-task-execution/scripts/wait-until.sh <argument>
Note the task ID from the response -- you need it for the next step.
Step 3: Wait for the timer
Use the TaskOutput tool to block until the timer completes:
- Set
block: true - Set
timeout: 600000(maximum: 10 minutes / 600000ms) - Use the task ID from Step 2
If the wait exceeds 10 minutes: TaskOutput will return before the timer completes because the maximum timeout is 600000ms. Check the output -- if it does not contain "Timer complete", call TaskOutput again with the same task ID and block: true. Repeat until the timer finishes.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

differed-task-execution is a skill published in the GitHub repository sammcj/agentic-coding (158 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 751 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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.
