automation-watcher

automation-watcher is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sdfdu/evopilot. It costs 30 tokens per session (169 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating and managing reminders, repeated checks, follow-ups, reviews, and maintenance tasks that run over time.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps set up reminders, monitor changing conditions, follow up on stalled work, schedule reviews, and define when an automation should stop.
Why use it?
It turns an explicit request for ongoing monitoring into a focused recurring workflow and helps avoid unnecessary or noisy notifications.

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

automation-watcher 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.

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

Automation Watcher

Turn an explicit request for reminders or monitoring into the smallest useful recurring workflow.

  • Prefer continuity in the current thread when the task depends on its context.
  • Keep notification frequency proportional to urgency; unchanged state is normal.
  • Include a clear success or stop condition.
  • Ask for approval before an automation sends externally, publishes, spends money, deletes data, or expands permissions.
  • Suggest automation when repeated manual checking is observed, but do not create it until the user authorizes recurring work.
  • Record whether reminders helped, were ignored, or became noisy, then adapt future recommendations.

Use the product's automation capability instead of writing raw scheduling directives.

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.
