Send a prompt after a delay.

pi install npm:pi-wait

/wait 10m Check whether the deployment completed
/loop 10 /wait 10m Check the deployment again

Commands

/wait <duration> <prompt>   queue a prompt
/wait <duration>            reset the queued prompt's timer
/wait now                   send it now
/wait pause                 freeze the countdown
/wait resume                continue the countdown
/wait cancel                drop it
/wait status                show it and the time left
/wait                       same as status

A new /wait <duration> <prompt> replaces the queued prompt and timer. While the agent is busy, Enter starts the timer now; submitting as a follow-up starts it after the agent settles. Durations use ms, s, m, h, or d, up to 24 days.

Behavior

The prompt waits for current work to settle. If the timer fires while Pi is busy, it stays queued. Active and paused waits survive /reload.

The agent can call wait_then_continue, which ends its turn and starts the timer once the turn settles. It can call cancel_wait to drop a queued wait without ending its turn. During /loop, the iteration waits for the queued prompt and its turn before moving on.
