A guide for repeatedly checking an IDE, the program developers use to edit code, through bridge tools. It can inspect diagnostics, test results, or terminal output, including during scheduled checks with /loop.

Use it for one-time or recurring checks of workspace diagnostics, tests, or a development server's terminal output; it requires the Claude IDE Bridge.

It helps catch new editor errors, test failures, or terminal problems while development continues.

ide-monitor — Skill for Claude Code by Oolab-labs

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add Oolab-labs/patchwork-os --skill ide-monitor

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Oolab-labs/patchwork-os

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install claude-ide-bridge, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 skills, 1 agent, 16 hooks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00030	$0.00643
Opus 5	$0.00015	$0.00321
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00129

Security

Grade A, and why

ide-monitor 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 10d 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.

IDE Monitor

Prerequisites

Check if the getToolCapabilities MCP tool is available to you.
- Not available (no MCP tool by that name): stop and tell the user: "This skill requires the Claude IDE Bridge. It uses getDiagnostics and runTests which have no CLI equivalent.
  
  To use this skill:
  1. Start the bridge: npm run start-all (in claude-ide-bridge/)
  2. Ensure the Claude IDE Bridge extension is installed in your IDE
  3. Use the claude --ide session (not remote-control)"
- Available: call it. If extensionConnected is false: show the same message. If true: proceed.

Monitor your IDE workspace continuously. Use with /loop for recurring checks.

Usage patterns

/loop 5m /claude-ide-bridge:ide-monitor diagnostics
/loop 10m /claude-ide-bridge:ide-monitor tests
/loop 2m /claude-ide-bridge:ide-monitor terminal dev-server

Or run once:

/claude-ide-bridge:ide-monitor diagnostics

Modes

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine the monitoring mode:

Mode: `diagnostics` (default if no argument)

Use getDiagnostics to get all current errors and warnings
Compare with the previous check (if this is a recurring loop):
- Report new errors since last check
- Report resolved errors since last check
If there are critical errors, summarize them prominently
If everything is clean, report "No issues found"

Mode: `tests [filter]`

Use runTests with the optional filter from the argument
Report:
- Total pass/fail counts
- Any new failures (tests that were passing before)
- Test duration for performance tracking
If tests fail, suggest running /claude-ide-bridge:ide-debug to investigate

Mode: `terminal <name>`

Use getTerminalOutput with the terminal name from the argument
Check for:
- Error patterns in recent output (stack traces, "Error:", "FATAL")
- Whether the process is still running (use listTerminals)
If the terminal has died, report it and suggest restarting
If errors are found, summarize the most recent ones

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.
