dual-channel-watchexec-notifications

Watchexec file-change notifications are triggered by this Skill's dual-channel system, which detects file edits and automatically sends formatted alerts to Telegram and Pushover. Load your credentials via environment variables, run the wrapper with watchexec, and notifications fire immediately on detection without manual intervention.

This Skill sends dual-channel alerts to both Telegram (HTML-formatted messages) and Pushover (plain text) simultaneously. Both services receive consistent event data—startup, code changes, crashes—from a single watchexec trigger, reducing notification setup complexity.

Secure credential loading is built in: pass Telegram token and Pushover keys as environment variables rather than embedding them in scripts. The Skill handles credential injection at runtime, keeping sensitive data out of source control and configuration files.

Notifications trigger on three watchexec event types: file changes (code edits detected), process restarts (when watched processes restart), and crashes (runtime failures). Each event generates a separate formatted message to both notification channels for real-time incident awareness.

File detection is macOS-compatible; the Skill includes macOS-specific logic for reliable file-change monitoring. Watchexec and the notification scripts run natively on macOS without platform-specific workarounds.

Optional message archiving is supported for post-mortem analysis and debugging. Notifications can be logged locally alongside dual-channel delivery, preserving a searchable record of events for incident investigation and workflow optimization.
