In plain words

Why use it?
It provides a simple recurring health check without requiring a monitoring service or extra installation.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/canary.sh # one-shot, exits 0/1.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

canary scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/canary.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What it actually says

/canary

Lightweight uptime watcher.

When to use

  • After deploying, to watch the new release
  • Before a major event, as a heartbeat
  • The user says "set up a watcher", "monitor X URL"

What it produces

scripts/canary.sh that uses curl. zero install. supports:

bash scripts/canary.sh           # one-shot, exits 0/1
bash scripts/canary.sh --watch   # continuous loop

Run it

dragoon canary https://example.com --apply
dragoon canary https://example.com --status 204 --interval 30 --apply
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
