jakedahn-pomodoro is a Claude Code plugin that demonstrates the System Skill Pattern via a persistent, learning Pomodoro timer (CLI, SKILL.md, database).

About

jakedahn-pomodoro is a Claude Code plugin that doubles as a teaching artifact for the System Skill Pattern: skills that remember context, learn from use, and improve over time. Instead of a slides-only explainer, the repository ships a working Pomodoro timer wired through a CLI, SKILL.md instructions, and a database layer so you can see how persistence and agent triggers fit together. developers who are already shipping with Claude Code should install it when they plan to author custom skills—not when they only want a lightweight desktop timer. The pattern generalizes across phases: you can apply the same architecture to standups, incident notes, or customer research logs. Complexity sits at intermediate because you must understand skill invocation, local CLI execution, and schema design. Treat Pomodoro as the demo domain; the durable outcome is a forkable blueprint for stateful agent skills that survive across coding sessions.

  • Reference implementation of the System Skill Pattern (remember, learn, improve)
  • Demonstrates CLI + SKILL.md + database wiring for Claude skills
  • Pomodoro timer as a concrete end-to-end example, not abstract docs
  • Shows persistent memory across sessions for skill-driven workflows
  • Single focused plugin (plugin count 1) suitable as a template fork

What it does

Study and copy the System Skill Pattern—CLI plus SKILL.md plus database—using a Pomodoro timer that persists sessions and learns over time.

Who is it for?

Best when you're authoring custom Claude Code skills and want a small, inspectable repo with database persistence.

Skip if: Anyone seeking only a distraction-free Pomodoro app with no interest in skill architecture or Claude Code plugins.

What you get

After installing the plugin, you have a runnable reference to clone when building your own memory-backed skills and CLI-backed agent tools.

  • Working Pomodoro skill with persistent session history
  • Copyable System Skill Pattern layout (CLI + SKILL.md + DB)
  • Foundation to fork into custom learning skills

How it compares

Agent skill reference implementation with persistence, not a hosted productivity SaaS or generic slash command pack.
