watch-ci

A monitor for GitHub Actions, GitHub's service for running automated checks on code changes. It waits for the current branch's checks to pass or fail.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to watch the current branch's pull-request checks or workflow run and report the result.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeatedly refresh a pull request or workflow page while CI checks run.

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

watch-ci 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.

What it actually says

watch-ci

Monitor GitHub Actions CI status for the current branch, waiting until all checks pass or fail.

Steps

1. Run the watch script

Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/watch-ci.sh and wait for it to exit. It auto-detects the current branch, checks for a PR first (using gh pr checks --json), and falls back to workflow runs if no PR exists. It polls every 10 seconds by default. To use a custom interval, pass it as the first argument (e.g., watch-ci.sh 30). Minimum is 5 seconds.

If CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is not set, find the script relative to this SKILL.md (../../scripts/watch-ci.sh).

2. Report the result

When the script exits:

  • Exit code 0 means all checks passed. Report success.
  • Non-zero exit means checks failed. The script will have printed failure logs. Summarize the failures for the user.

If the user wants to investigate failures, offer to:

  • Read the failure logs in detail
  • Open the GitHub Actions run URL
  • Help fix the failing code

Important notes

  • This skill just monitors — it does not push, commit, or modify code.
  • If no CI runs are found, suggest the user push their branch first.
  • The script exits automatically when checks complete. Do not kill it early unless the user asks.
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.

watch-ci is a skill published in the GitHub repository ericboehs/claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 364 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
