• Hitting a usage / token cap and wanting to come back later without manually restarting
• Pausing for the day and wanting work to kick off overnight so HANDOFF restores the morning session
• Queuing a future GSD command (e.g. /gsd:execute-phase 9 at 04:00) for off-peak quota use

No-token fallback. If you've hit your usage cap and the skill itself won't run (it needs tokens to parse args and call CronCreate — the very moment you don't have any), /exit the rate-limited session and invoke the shell wrapper from a plain terminal:

/exit                                 # leave the rate-limited Claude session first
gsd-resume-at 17:41                   # then schedule from your shell — no tokens consumed
# or with explicit duration / project:
gsd-resume-at +3h --project ~/code/myproject
# if `gsd-resume-at` isn't on PATH:
$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/bin/gsd-resume-at +3h
# or fully absolute:
~/.claude/plugins/cache/gsd-plugin/gsd/<version>/bin/gsd-resume-at +3h

Pure shell — uses nohup sleep to schedule an OS-level timer, no Claude tokens consumed. macOS only for v1; the script will tell you if you're on another platform. Does NOT survive a reboot — for durable cross-reboot scheduling, use this skill (/gsd:resume-at) when tokens are available.

The plugin's Stop hook will surface this same hint automatically when it detects a rate-limit message in the session transcript.

This skill is a thin wrapper. The plugin already covers the resume itself (HANDOFF.json + /gsd:resume-work). What was missing was a way to ask Claude to come back at time T. This skill provides the scheduling on-ramp; Claude Code's built-in /schedule (or CronCreate primitive) does the durable cron storage.

1. Parse the time argument. The first positional argument is the target time. Accept three forms:

   • HH:MM — today at that local clock time. If the time has already passed today, schedule for tomorrow at the same time.
   • ISO 8601 (e.g. 2026-04-28T08:00, 2026-04-28T08:00:00-04:00) — absolute timestamp. Use as-is.
   • +<duration> — relative offset from now. Accept +30m, +2h, +90m, +1d. Compute absolute target as now + duration.

   If no argument is provided, ask the user via AskUserQuestion: "When should I resume? (e.g. 09:00, +2h, or 2026-04-28T08:00)". If parsing fails, surface the input and the supported forms; do not guess.

2. Resolve the command to schedule. Default is /gsd:resume-work (the plugin's standard resumption entry point — restores HANDOFF.json + STATE.md and routes to next action). If the user passed --cmd "<command>", use that command instead. Useful overrides:

   • --cmd "/gsd:next" — resume by jumping to the next workflow step (skips the status-print phase of resume-work)
   • --cmd "/gsd:execute-phase 9" — resume directly into a specific phase
   • --cmd "/gsd:quick <task description>" — schedule a quick task for later

3. Schedule via Claude Code's scheduling primitive. Use the Skill tool to invoke /schedule if the host CLI exposes it; otherwise fall back to CronCreate directly. Pass:

   • prompt: the resolved command (default /gsd:resume-work)
   • time: the absolute timestamp computed in step 1 (ISO 8601, with the local timezone)
   • working directory: the current GSD project root, so the new session opens with HANDOFF.json visible

   When /schedule/CronCreate isn't available in the current Claude Code build, surface that explicitly — don't silently no-op. Tell the user the plugin's resume-at skill needs the host's scheduling support, and link them to /schedule documentation.

4. Confirm what was scheduled. Print:

   • Absolute time (local + UTC)
   • The exact command that will fire
   • The project directory the future session will open in
   • A reminder that HANDOFF.json is checkpointed every ≤60s during active work, so the resume reflects state from at most ~60s before this scheduling call (or from the most recent /compact if the session is currently idle)

5. Optional safety nudge. If the user did not pass --cmd and the current session has uncommitted dirty state (a non-empty git status -s), warn that a future /gsd:resume-work will pick up whatever HANDOFF reflects at scheduling time — they may want to /gsd:pause-work explicitly first to capture intent before scheduling.

<output_format> After scheduling, emit a confirmation block:

✓ Resume scheduled
  When:    2026-04-27 22:00 PDT (2026-04-28 05:00 UTC)
  Command: /gsd:resume-work
  Project: /Users/you/your-project
  HANDOFF: written 47s ago (auto-postool)

If a /clear boundary makes sense (long session, scheduling at the end of an active day), suggest /clear per references/continuation-format.md. Otherwise, just confirm and stop — the user is presumably about to step away. </output_format>
