Deadline-Driven Follow-Up
Never let an offer, coupon or application window expire quietly while it waits on you.
Works with: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Muse · Version 1.0.0 · Needs: No external account. Deadlines are stored in a tracked item or note so later sessions can see them.
What you get
- Cutoff capture at intake: exact date, time, timezone, the single action needed and what blocks it
- Stall detection — 'waiting on user' is treated as a state to manage, never a resting state
- Three-point checks scaled to the window: shortly after intake, at half time, in the final stretch
- Escalating nudges that state time left and the one next action
About this Skill
Born from a real missed-window incident, this skill records the exact cutoff — date, time and timezone — the moment you take on anything time-bound. It watches for stalls rather than just dates, nudges at intake, half-time and the final stretch, and closes the loop after the window with a plain got-it / missed-it report.

FAQ
Where is the deadline stored?
In a tracked item or memory note that later turns can read — never only in chat, where it would scroll away.
What happens after the window passes?
You get one short outcome report: got it, missed it, or still possible through another route.
