Feature request: visibility into scheduled wakeups / background monitoring

Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Apr 13, 2026 by dever4eg Closed Jun 3, 2026

Problem

When Claude Code schedules recurring wakeups (e.g. "monitor logs every 15 min for 2 hours"), there's no way for the user to see pending wakeups in the UI. /tasks only shows background tasks, not scheduled wakeups. The user can't tell if monitoring is still active, when the next check fires, or if it finished.

Current behavior

  • User asks Claude to monitor something on a recurring interval
  • Claude uses ScheduleWakeup to set up periodic checks
  • Each check schedules the next one, so there's always 1 pending wakeup
  • The user has no visibility into this. No UI indicator, no command to list wakeups
  • /tasks dialog doesn't show scheduled wakeups

Suggested solution

Show pending wakeups in the tasks panel, or add a /wakeups command that lists:

  • Next fire time
  • The prompt/task description
  • How many iterations remain (if bounded)
  • Option to cancel

This would make background monitoring feel predictable instead of invisible.

Context

Came up during a real workflow: debugging a production issue, shipped a fix, then asked Claude to monitor logs every 15 min for 2 hours to confirm the fix in the wild. The user had no way to verify the monitoring was still scheduled without asking Claude directly.
