proactive-background-watcher

proactive-background-watcher is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from roedyrustam/vibes-plug. It costs 46 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scheduling and monitoring guide that lets an AI agent run checks in the background instead of waiting for a new user message.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor logs, poll APIs, check CI/CD pipelines, send alerts, or provide scheduled summaries of new GitHub issues.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually ask whether a deployment finished, a server produced errors, or new issues appeared.

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

proactive-background-watcher scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Proactive Background Watcher (Sentinel Agent)

English | Bahasa Indonesia


English

Orchestration & Integration

Connects and orchestrates with relevant domain skills like brainstorming, zero-to-prod-orchestrator, and project-context-mapper to ensure cohesive execution.

Description

Standard LLM chat interfaces (like Claude or ChatGPT) are purely reactive—they do nothing until the user types a prompt. This skill gives Antigravity the "superpower" of proactivity. By utilizing the native schedule tool, the agent can set up background cron jobs or timers to monitor logs, poll APIs, or check CI/CD pipelines. If an anomaly is detected, the agent wakes up autonomously and alerts the user or fixes the issue.

Trigger Conditions

Activate this skill when:

  • The user says "let me know when the deployment finishes."
  • The user asks to "monitor the server for errors."
  • The user wants a daily summary of new GitHub issues.

Core Concepts

1. The Sentinel Loop
  1. Schedule: Use the schedule tool. Set either a DurationSeconds (e.g., check again in 5 minutes) or a CronExpression (e.g., run every hour 0 * * * *). Set IsDaemon=true if it's a long-running background watcher.
  2. Sleep: End your turn. The system will automatically wake you up when the timer/cron fires.
  3. Execute: When woken up by the timer prompt, execute your checks (e.g., read a log file, curl an API).
  4. Evaluate: If everything is normal, go back to sleep (or set a new timer). If an anomaly is found, notify the user immediately with an alert.
2. Agent Constraints
  • Do not spam the user. If a background check passes normally, do not write a message to the user. Only alert the user if action is required or a long-running task finally completes.
  • Always provide a clear Prompt in the schedule tool: e.g., "Timer fired: Check Vercel deployment status now."

Integration with Other Skills (MANDATORY)

  • cron-scheduler-expert — Provides the code-level knowledge for building app-level crons, while this skill is for the agent's own native scheduling.
  • ci-cd-devops-architect — Useful when the agent needs to watch GitHub Actions or Vercel pipelines.
