Feature request: visibility into scheduled wakeups / background monitoring
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
ScheduleWakeupto 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
/tasksdialog 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.
