agentnotify

A set of instructions for coding agents working on the AgentNotify repository, covering development workflow, security, architecture, and quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or maintaining AgentNotify, including branch selection, repository checks, documentation updates, and verification.
Why use it?
It helps agents resume work safely, protect secrets and user changes, and keep project decisions recorded.

Getting it into your agent

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

agentnotify 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 2d 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 — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AgentNotify

Use the installed agentnotify CLI to alert the user at meaningful attention boundaries. AgentNotify runs locally, reads its own per-user credentials, and raises a desktop notification without stealing focus.

Notifying is the standing default, not something to ask permission for. The user is not watching the terminal; a finished task or a blocking question that is never announced is a task the user learns about late.

Command name

  • Windows, and WSL calling the Windows broker: agentnotify.exe
  • macOS, Linux, and a Linux-native broker: agentnotify

Every example below uses agentnotify.exe; drop the extension on macOS and Linux.

Check availability

Run once per session, before the first send:

agentnotify.exe health

If the command is unavailable or the broker is not running, continue the user's task and report the notification failure only when it is relevant. Do not retry in a loop.

When to send

Send one without being asked whenever:

  • human input is needed — a decision, a permission, an answer that blocks progress — and send it before starting to wait, not after;
  • a task is finished, whatever its size;
  • work is stopped by a terminal error or an external blocker.

Any request to be told when something happens — "ping me when it's done", "let me know if you get stuck", "notify me" — is a request for an agentnotify send, for the rest of that session. Do not ask the user which notification mechanism to use.

Do not send for:

  • routine mid-task progress, ordinary tool calls, or every substep;
  • a question the user just asked and is clearly still watching for;
  • turns that are pure conversation — answering a question, explaining something, no work performed.

The only exception is an explicit opt-out ("no notifications", "stop pinging me"), which holds for the rest of that session. Silence from the user is not an opt-out. When in doubt, send it.

Send notifications

Use a stable --key for an unresolved condition so updates replace the existing notification instead of creating duplicates.

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.

agentnotify is a skill published in the GitHub repository Akash97p/agent-notify (1 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 1,007 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
