controlled-waiting SKILL.md skillA
controlled-waiting from zjunlp/skillnet is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add zjunlp/skillnet/controlled-waiting@git:20260316.e08426ePins git:20260316.e08426e in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Executes timed waiting using 'wait' or 'wait1' actions to advance the simulation clock. Use when a time-dependent process like plant growth, chemical reaction, or mechanical cycle must progress before you can continue the task.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: Controlled Waiting ## When to Use After initiating a process with a time delay, when no other productive actions are possible. ## Procedure 1. Confirm the process is active (seeds planted, device activated, etc.). 2. `wait` (advances 10 steps) for long processes, or `wait1` (1 step) for fine-grained observation. 3. `look around` or `examine <OBJECT>` to check if the target state has been reached. 4. If not reached, repeat steps 2-3. If reached, exit and resume the main task. **Duration guidance:** Use `wait` for biological growth stages. Use `wait1` when observing rapid changes or when close to the expected transition. ## Example **Task:** Wait for a banana tree to produce fruit after planting. 1. Confirm seeds are planted and watered. 2. `wait` (advances 10 steps) 3. `look around` — check if banana is visible on the tree. 4. No banana yet → `wait` again. 5. `look around` — observe: "a banana tree (with a banana)" → exit skill and proceed to harvest. Refer to `references/botanical_growth_patterns.md` for common plant growth stage timings.

How to install
mdr add zjunlp/skillnet/controlled-waiting@sha256:a07ba58a54008604The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260316.e08426e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
