monitor-inbox

monitor-inbox is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 147 tokens per session (1,216 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An on-demand reader for incoming Pushover notifications, using Pushover's API—the service interface used by its apps. It can register a receiving device once and pull new messages from a Claude Code session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch new Pushover alerts, such as notifications from a Dynamic DNS self-healing service, and append or acknowledge them.
Why use it?
It lets a coding session see alerts that arrived on a Pushover account instead of relying only on messages it sent or keeping a background process running.

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

monitor-inbox 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.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

The rest of pushover-commander only sends; its audit log (po-audit.jsonl) can never show what arrived. This skill wraps the Pushover Open Client API (the REST surface the desktop/mobile apps use to receive) so a session can read incoming notifications. Core: _lib/pushover_inbox.ts.

Model = on-demand pull (run pull when asked; no background daemon).

Commands

CORE="$(cc-plugin-root pushover-commander)/skills/_lib/pushover_inbox.ts"

# One-time, INTERACTIVE — mints a receive-device. Prompts for the Pushover ACCOUNT
# email + password (password is MASKED, used once in-memory, NEVER stored). Only the
# derived client secret + device_id are persisted, to the SCS vault scope `pushover`.
env -u HTTPS_PROXY -u HTTP_PROXY bun "$CORE" register [--name claude-mac] [--force]

# On demand — fetch new messages → append to po-inbox.jsonl → ack (update_highest).
env -u HTTPS_PROXY -u HTTP_PROXY bun "$CORE" pull [--json] [--limit N]

# Read back the local inbox (NO network).
bun "$CORE" list [--limit N] [--json]

# Health: creds present? device registered? API reachable / how many waiting?
env -u HTTPS_PROXY -u HTTP_PROXY bun "$CORE" doctor

One-time setup (operator must run register)

Only the operator can type the account password, so guide them to run register themselves (or run it and let them type into the masked prompt). After that, pull/list/doctor all work headlessly — no password, no Touch ID — because the client secret + device_id live in the vault automation tier (agent-readable).

Secret handling (SCS doctrine — cc-skills/docs/self-custody-secrets.md)

Secret Class Where it lives
Account email + password crown jewel masked prompt, in-memory only — never stored / never sent / never in argv or transcript
client secret + device_id automation token SCS vault scope pushover (agent-readable, so headless pull needs no prompt)

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.
