descriptionUse this skill when a user wants to run timed focus sessions (Pomodoro technique) from the terminal.
Pomodoro Timer
When to use
- User asks to start a focus session, work timer, or pomodoro.
How it works
Run a 25-minute focus block followed by a 5-minute break. After 4 blocks, take a 15-minute break.
Start a session
echo "🍅 Focus started at $(date +%H:%M)" && sleep 1500 && osascript -e 'display notification "Time for a break!" with title "Pomodoro"' && echo "Break time at $(date +%H:%M)"
Custom duration (minutes)
MINS=15 && echo "Focus: ${MINS}m started at $(date +%H:%M)" && sleep $((MINS * 60)) && echo "Done at $(date +%H:%M)"
Log completed sessions
echo "$(date +%Y-%m-%d) $(date +%H:%M) - 25min focus" >> ~/pomodoro.log
Review today's log
grep "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" ~/pomodoro.log 2>/dev/null || echo "No sessions today."
