monograph:monograph-watch

monograph:monograph-watch is a command for Claude Code from monoes/monomind. It costs 29 tokens per session (408 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A file watcher that notices changes to code and documentation and incrementally rebuilds the project's knowledge graph. Incremental rebuilding means it processes changed files instead of starting from everything again.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run it during documentation writing, refactoring, or background indexing in a continuous integration environment. It watches code, Markdown, text, reStructuredText, and PDF files.
Why use it?
It keeps search data current while you edit, so results do not depend on an outdated index. It can also update relationships when code imports or documentation change.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

monograph:monograph-watch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

monograph watch

Watch for file changes and incrementally rebuild the knowledge graph. Keeps the graph fresh during active development.

Usage

npx monomind monograph watch [options]

Options

Flag Short Type Default Description
--path -p string cwd Root path to watch
--llm — boolean false Enable LLM enrichment on each rebuild (requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)

Examples

# Watch and rebuild on any file change
npx monomind monograph watch

# Watch with Claude semantic enrichment on each rebuild
npx monomind monograph watch --llm

# Watch a specific path
npx monomind monograph watch -p ./docs

Behavior

  • Runs until Ctrl+C
  • Detects changes to code files, markdown, text, RST, and PDFs
  • Triggers incremental rebuild (only changed files re-processed)
  • Outputs progress per phase as changes are detected

When to Use

  • During active documentation writing — graph stays current as you write
  • During refactoring — relationships update as imports change
  • CI environments — run in background to keep graph fresh for search queries

MCP Tools

// Start watch via MCP
mcp__monomind__monograph_watch({ path: "./" })

// Stop watch via MCP
mcp__monomind__monograph_watch_stop()

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
