ls-watch

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of waiting on external conditions without manually checking logs, services, or running processes until something happens.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Condition watchers: Monitor file appearance, file patterns, port open/close, process exit, command success, HTTP endpoint status/body/header, and RSS/Atom feed updates.
• Background notifications: Runs polling scripts in the background and notifies the conversation when the condition is met (or when it times out).
• Optional follow-up actions: Supports a then-command to run immediately after the trigger (e.g., fetch a transcript, inspect output, or run a follow-up check).
• Persistent monitoring pattern: Combines one-shot watchers with looping behavior to re-arm monitoring after each trigger.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to start watching for a new build log match by saying: /watch pattern build.log "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" --timeout 10m --interval 2s --name build
