SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automatic activation of features when files are created, modified, or deleted in monitored directories, enabling real-time automation and orchestration without manual intervention.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic activation of Skill, Agent, and Command based on file events (create, modify, delete) using MCP Hook Chain or FileSystemWatcher.
  • Flexible architecture options including MCP File Watcher (recommended) with polling and event-driven triggers or External Watcher + Hook Chain.
  • Use case: automatically trigger linting, validation, or deployment steps when new files appear in a watched folder.

Quick Start

Start by configuring a watch path and run the watcher to enable automatic activation on file events.

Frequently Asked Questions about file-watcher_lc_v1

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically trigger linting or validation when files change?▼

Automatic linting on file changes is achieved by monitoring directories for creation and modification events, then triggering configured actions through an MCP hook chain or FileSystemWatcher.

What is event-driven automation for file system monitoring?▼

Event-driven file system monitoring detects creation, modification, and deletion events in watched directories to automatically activate predefined skills, agents, or commands without manual intervention.

How do I configure watch paths for MCP-based file watchers?▼

Configuring watch paths involves specifying target directories in your MCP setup to enable polling and event-driven triggers that automatically activate cross-component orchestration upon file events.

Can I use an external watcher instead of an MCP file watcher for automation?▼

Yes, you can use an external watcher paired with a hook chain as an alternative architecture, though the MCP file watcher with event-driven triggers is the recommended approach for real-time automation.

What are the limitations of using file watchers for real-time automation?▼

Limitations include reliance on polling intervals or event-driven triggers, requiring proper configuration of watch paths and hook chains to prevent missed file events during high-volume directory modifications.
