dale-loop-watch is a skill for Codex from lubluniky/dale. It costs 57 tokens per session (285 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A monitoring workflow that checks a changing source on a schedule and reacts only when a defined meaningful change occurs. The source can be a page, feed, issue, release, price, dashboard, or similar external information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to watch pull requests, issues, software releases, prices, availability, feeds, web pages, or dashboards. It can notify or take an allowed action when the chosen change condition is met.
Why use it?

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

dale-loop-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 3d 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

Dale Loop Watch

Build a change detector, not a scheduled summary generator.

Workflow

  1. Define the source, cadence, baseline, meaningful-change predicate, allowed action, notification destination, expiry, and failure limit.
  2. Confirm the source can be read reliably and that the action does not exceed the user's authority.
  3. Persist the minimum comparable state: timestamp, normalized observation, source identity, and last emitted event.
  4. On each wakeup, fetch fresh state and compare it to the baseline. Ignore formatting noise, reordered data, and unchanged results.
  5. If no meaningful change occurred, update only necessary health metadata and remain quiet.
  6. If the predicate matches, capture evidence, perform the authorized action or notify once, update the baseline, and decide whether to continue.
  7. Back off and escalate after repeated source/auth failures. Never interpret inability to read the source as “no change.”
  8. Disable scheduled work when the expiry or terminal condition is reached; archive the user task only when requested.

Use the product's automation mechanism. Do not implement cadence with a blocking shell loop.

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.
