What problem does it solve?
Manually monitoring deployed URLs for uptime is tedious and prone to human error, especially when you need consistent, repeatable checks after deployments or before high-stakes events.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Strict Input Validation: Automatically verifies that provided URLs use HTTP/HTTPS, expected status codes fall between 100-599, and check intervals are between 5-86400 seconds to prevent invalid configurations.
- Dual Operation Modes: Generates a curl-based watcher script that supports both one-shot checks (exits with 0/1 status for easy CI integration) and continuous --watch mode for ongoing monitoring.
- Common Use Case: Use this skill immediately after deploying a new release to catch downtime early, or set up a heartbeat check before a major product launch to confirm service stability.
