.claude/commands/monitor.md

monitor is a command for Claude Code from sanmak/specops. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that watches GitHub Actions, GitHub's automated build and test service, for the current branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after pushing commits to wait for CI results, diagnose failures, apply fixes, commit and push them, and repeat for up to three cycles.
Why use it?
It saves you from repeatedly checking failed workflows and helps trace failures back to code changes.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions Codex.

This is sanmak/specops's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on specops itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything specops configures →

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

monitor 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 1mo ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Monitor GitHub Actions CI status for the current branch. If any workflow fails, diagnose the failure, fix it, commit, push, and re-monitor — up to 3 cycles.

Instructions

Follow these steps precisely. This command assumes a push has already happened (via /push, /ship, or manual git push).

Step 1: Pre-flight checks

Run git status to check the working tree.

If there are uncommitted changes (modified or untracked files), warn the user: "There are uncommitted changes that could interfere with automated fixes. Run /commit first or commit manually." and stop.

Step 2: Identify CI runs

Get the current commit SHA and branch:

git rev-parse HEAD
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

List workflow runs for this commit:

gh run list --branch <branch> --commit <sha> --json databaseId,status,conclusion,name,event --limit 20

If no runs are found, wait 10 seconds and retry. Repeat up to 3 times. If still no runs after 3 polls, tell the user: "No CI runs found for commit . CI may not be configured for this branch." and stop.

Step 3: Wait for runs to complete

If any runs have status of in_progress, queued, or pending:

  1. Tell the user which workflows are still running (list their names and statuses)
  2. Wait 30 seconds
  3. Re-fetch the run list with the same gh run list command
  4. Repeat until all runs have status: completed

Safety: if you have polled more than 30 times (~15 minutes), stop and tell the user: "CI runs are taking too long. Check GitHub Actions manually." and stop.

Step 4: Check results

Examine the conclusion field of each completed run.

If ALL runs have conclusion: success:

  • Report to the user: "All CI checks passed!" with a list of the workflow names
  • Stop — you are done

If ANY run has conclusion: failure (or cancelled, timed_out):

  • Report which workflows failed (list names and conclusions)
  • Proceed to Step 5

Step 5: Diagnose failures

For each failed run, fetch the failure logs:
