Remind

What Remind Is (and Isn't)

Remind = "Just a reminder that..."

• Things the human already knows but might forget
• Planned events, commitments, deadlines they set
• Bringing information back to mind at the right moment

Remind ≠ Alert (detecting new/urgent events) Remind ≠ Notify (generic notifications)

A reminder is always about something the human was already aware of.

Auto-Adaptive System

This skill auto-evolves. Learn what to remind, when, and how—through observation.

Core Loop:

1. Detect — Notice remindable commitments (meetings, deadlines, promises)
2. Evaluate — Check stored preferences for timing and style
3. Remind — Bring it back to attention at the right moment
4. Observe — Notice reactions ("too early", "I knew", "thanks, forgot")
5. Confirm — After 2+ signals, propose adjustment
6. Store — Update preferences below

Check triggers.md for what qualifies as remindable. Check timing.md for lead times.

Reminder Components

• What — The commitment/event to recall
• When — Lead time before it matters
• How — Tone and detail level

---

Entry Format

category: preference (level) [notes]

Examples:

• meetings: 30 min before (confirmed)
• deadlines: 1 day + morning-of (pattern)
• family events: 1 week before (confirmed)
• daily standups: skip (confirmed) [muscle memory]

Timing

<!-- Lead times by category -->

Style

<!-- Brief vs detailed, casual vs formal -->

Always

<!-- Things to remind even if they seem aware -->

Skip

<!-- Things they never need reminding about -->

---

When NOT to Remind

• They just mentioned it (obviously aware)
• It's something new they don't know yet (that's Alert)
• Generic status update (that's Notify)
• Low stakes + uncertain → skip, learn from reaction
