canary-watch

canary-watch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jamkris/everything-gemini-code. It costs 13 tokens per session (660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A post-deployment checker that repeatedly visits a live website or service and looks for failures, performance changes, and missing page elements.

In plain words
What is it for?
It checks HTTP status, browser console errors, failed network requests, performance metrics, key content, and critical API response times. It can run a single check, monitor over time, or compare staging with production.
Why use it?
It helps catch regressions after a release, risky code change, dependency upgrade, or during a launch window. It shows whether a fix actually improved the deployed system.

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-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.

Canary Watch — Post-Deploy Monitoring

When to Use

  • After deploying to production or staging
  • After merging a risky PR
  • When you want to verify a fix actually fixed it
  • Continuous monitoring during a launch window
  • After dependency upgrades

How It Works

Monitors a deployed URL for regressions. Runs in a loop until stopped or until the watch window expires.

What It Watches

1. HTTP Status — is the page returning 200?
2. Console Errors — new errors that weren't there before?
3. Network Failures — failed API calls, 5xx responses?
4. Performance — LCP/CLS/INP regression vs baseline?
5. Content — did key elements disappear? (h1, nav, footer, CTA)
6. API Health — are critical endpoints responding within SLA?

Watch Modes

Quick check (default): single pass, report results

/canary-watch https://myapp.com

Sustained watch: check every N minutes for M hours

/canary-watch https://myapp.com --interval 5m --duration 2h

Diff mode: compare staging vs production

/canary-watch --compare https://staging.myapp.com https://myapp.com

Alert Thresholds

critical:  # immediate alert
  - HTTP status != 200
  - Console error count > 5 (new errors only)
  - LCP > 4s
  - API endpoint returns 5xx

warning:   # flag in report
  - LCP increased > 500ms from baseline
  - CLS > 0.1
  - New console warnings
  - Response time > 2x baseline

info:      # log only
  - Minor performance variance
  - New network requests (third-party scripts added?)

Notifications

When a critical threshold is crossed:

  • Desktop notification (macOS/Linux)
  • Optional: Slack/Discord webhook
  • Log to ~/.gemini/canary-watch.log

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.
