Two free slash commands that add a persistent reminder and task system directly into Claude Code.
Just type /remind me tomorrow at 9am to… and it's saved — across every session, every project.
Claude Code has no built-in reminder system. These two skills fix that — tasks persist across every session, in every project directory.
Type /remind me next Friday at 3pm to review the PR and Claude parses the date, time, and task automatically — no flags required.
Reminders are written to ~/.claude/my-tasks.md — a global file that exists outside any project, visible from every Claude Code window you open.
A lightweight hook runs once per day when you open Claude Code. If anything is overdue or due today, Claude tells you before you've typed a single word.
/remind me every weekday at 9am to prep for standup — set it once, it repeats forever and advances automatically when you mark it done.
See today's reminders, this week's schedule, or everything overdue — filtered, sorted, and actionable with /my-tasks from any directory.
No database, no sync service, no login. Just a Markdown file in ~/.claude/ that you can read, edit, or back up at any time.
Install once into ~/.claude/skills/ and both commands are available in every Claude Code session, in every project directory, forever.

View & manage everything
Download, unzip, run one command. No npm, no pip, no external services — just files dropped into your existing Claude Code config folder.
Grab the zip from the download section below. It contains everything — both skills, the hook script, an empty task store, and a README.
# After downloading claude-task-master.zip:
unzip claude-task-master.zip
cd claude-task-master-distOne command. The installer handles everything: creates skill directories, installs the hook script, initialises your task store, and safely patches ~/.claude/settings.json — without touching any hooks you already have.
chmod +x install.sh
./install.shThat's it. Open Claude Code, type /remind me tomorrow at 9am to test this, and you're done.
Under the hood, five things happen automatically:
# Skills installed to:
~/.claude/skills/remind/skill.md
~/.claude/skills/my-tasks/skill.md
# Daily alert hook:
~/.claude/check-tasks.sh (chmod +x)
# Your task store (created if new):
~/.claude/my-tasks.md
# Hook wired into settings automatically:
~/.claude/settings.json (UserPromptSubmit)One zip. All free. No strings attached.
Includes install script, both skills, hook script, task store template, and README.
One-command installer that creates skill directories, installs the hook, initialises your task store, and safely patches settings.json — idempotent and safe to re-run.
Natural language reminder creation. Accepts "me next Tuesday at 2pm about…" or structured flags. Writes to your global task file and registers in-session pop-ups.
Full task dashboard. Filter by today, this-week, overdue, or all. Mark complete, snooze, delete, or edit tasks. Handles recurring task advancement automatically.
Runs once per calendar day when you open Claude Code. Checks your task file and surfaces overdue and today's reminders automatically — no /my-tasks needed.
All files are plain text — inspect them before running anything.
