notifications

notifications is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rlajous/claude-code-commands. It costs 59 tokens per session (596 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for configuring and diagnosing optional desktop alerts for completed Claude Code or Codex turns and activity on pull requests you created.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect notification settings, enable supported alerts, diagnose configuration, or get the background command needed to monitor pull-request activity.
Why use it?
It helps you know when agent work finishes or when your pull request receives an approval or requested changes, without checking manually.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

notifications 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/activity-events.py, scripts/activity-watch.sh, scripts/agent-complete.py, …), 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Workflow Notifications

Resolve {SKILL_DIR} to the absolute, physical directory containing this loaded SKILL.md. If the host cannot expose the path, use PLUGIN_ROOT, then CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, only to locate skills/notifications/SKILL.md. Verify every requested resource exists. Never substitute an empty variable or silently fall back to /scripts.

Commands

  • --doctor → run bash "{SKILL_DIR}/scripts/notification-tools.sh" --doctor, report the output, and exit. The check must not query pull requests, create state, or emit a desktop notification.
  • --daemon-command → run bash "{SKILL_DIR}/scripts/notification-tools.sh" --daemon-command, print the absolute command unchanged, and exit.
  • No argument → show the resolved configuration with python3 "{SKILL_DIR}/scripts/notification_config.py", explain which channels are enabled, and print the daemon command when PR activity or review requests are enabled.

The daemon is required for GitHub activity. Agent-complete notifications use the plugin's Stop hook and do not require the daemon.

Configuration

Read .git-workflow/config.yaml, then the legacy .claude/config.yaml fallback:

notifications:
  agentComplete: false
  prActivity: false
  sound: Glass

Both channels are opt-in. notifications.sound applies to all Git Workflow notifications. When it is absent, accept reviewWatch.sound as a compatibility fallback, then use Glass.

Expected events

Agent completion announces only the main turn. Do not add SubagentStop or failure alerts. GitHub activity announces submitted APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, and COMMENTED reviews on open PRs authored by the authenticated user. General PR comments, CI, merges, dismissals, and commits are outside this workflow.

Notification failures are best effort and must never fail a turn or review workflow. Do not read or persist full transcripts; the completion adapter uses only the first useful line of last_assistant_message and stores only a deduplication digest.

Files

What ships with it

7 files 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.
