check-build-watcher

The check-build automation translates natural-language watch intents into deterministic local dotnet commands. It invokes the WatchNextBuild workflow to arm, disarm, poll, or show the state of your next build across the local repository.

You can prompt "watch my next build" to invoke the WatchNextBuild workflow, which arms the local watcher to monitor your next relevant pipeline. This translates your intent into the deterministic dotnet command required to start tracking.

Running a local build watcher requires the environment variable GITLAB_PAT and a valid local repository root path. The automation applies safe fallbacks and guardrails to protect sensitive data while executing dotnet watcher commands.

Yes, the automation supports performing one-shot polls and showing the current state of a build without starting a continuous watch loop. You can also disarm the watcher entirely by translating specific natural-language intents into deterministic commands.

The Skill maps specific watch intents to predefined dotnet commands within the NCG check-build framework, reducing manual setup. It enables quick orchestration of watcher actions by applying deterministic translations to your natural-language prompts.
