System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Prevents scripts, tests, or operations from running indefinitely, which can waste resources, block pipelines, or cause system instability. It ensures tasks complete within expected timeframes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Timeout Enforcement: Automatically terminates commands that exceed a specified duration.
  • Reliable Execution: Guarantees that long-running or potentially hanging processes won't block your workflow.
  • Use Case: Run a suite of integration tests, setting a 5-minute timeout for each to catch any tests that might get stuck in an infinite loop.

Quick Start

Run 'my-long-script.sh' with a 300-second timeout. .claude/skills/run-with-timeout/scripts/run-with-timeout.sh 300 ./my-long-script.sh
