From 15cca70d2b8badd3314b87d4cd00cb21bf5ef113 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Craig Jennings Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 02:01:08 -0500 Subject: feat(notify): default page notifications to --persist I default page notifications to --persist so a page that fires while I'm away from the desk waits for me instead of auto-dismissing after a few seconds. page-me and status-check already persisted every page. I added --persist to the rest: the alarm, reminder, and meeting-alert examples in protocols.org, the long-running-process completion ping, and the cross-agent-watch message notification. I documented --persist as the default for any page meant to get attention, with a low-value informational ping as the only exception. --- .ai/protocols.org | 14 ++++++++------ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to '.ai/protocols.org') diff --git a/.ai/protocols.org b/.ai/protocols.org index 57ebf87..e4e1310 100644 --- a/.ai/protocols.org +++ b/.ai/protocols.org @@ -301,16 +301,18 @@ Use Craig's =notify= script with the =at= daemon for persistent reminders. **IMPORTANT:** Always check the current date and time (=date=) before setting alarms to ensure accurate calculations. +**Default to =--persist= for any page meant to get Craig's attention** (alarms, reminders, meeting alerts).
