What It Does

Sends daily medication/supplement reminders at user-defined times. Tracks adherence with a printable log for doctor visits. Supports multiple people (user + family members). Includes refill reminders.

Reminder Flow:

Cron fires → reminder sent to your configured channel
You reply took or didn't take
If took → logged ✅
If didn't take → general warning + "Not medical advice" disclaimer → then logged

Setup

Run once to initialize:

setup pill reminder

This creates pills.md in your workspace. You'll answer:

Channel — GroupMe, Discord, Telegram, etc.
Your name — for your profile
First pill — name, pill count, refill threshold, time(s)

Commands

Speak naturally. The skill parses your intent.

Command	Description
`add pill [name] [count] at [time]`	Add a pill. Count = current number in bottle. Times comma-separated for multiple daily doses. Default refill threshold = 7.
`add pill [name] [count] at [time] refill [N]`	Same with custom refill alert threshold.

"Didn't Take" Warning Language

When user replies didn't take, send this before logging:

⚠️ Skipping doses can reduce effectiveness. Consistency matters for most medications to work as intended. If missing doses becomes a pattern, consider talking with your doctor or pharmacist.

*This is not medical advice.*

Refill Alert Format

When pill count drops to refill threshold:

🔔 Refill Reminder: [pill name] is running low ([count] left)

Fires automatically when logging a took that brings count to or below threshold.

Cron Job Per Pill

Each pill dose gets its own cron job. Format: X Y * * 1-6 (Mon-Sat at specified hour/min).

When adding a pill with multiple times, create one cron per dose.

Reminder Message Format

💊 Pill Reminder — [profile name]
[pill name] ([count] left)
Reply: `took` or `didn't take`

Printable Log Format

When print log [name] is called, output:
