Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: www.apple.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill

What it does

The grepai-watch-daemon skill allows an AI agent to monitor a directory for new files and trigger actions based on those file creations. It can be configured with specific filters to only react to certain file types or names. This enables automated workflows and responses to events happening within a monitored filesystem location.

When to use it

  • Automated Log Analysis: Monitor a log directory and automatically analyze new log files as they appear, triggering alerts or summaries.
  • Real-time Data Processing: React to newly uploaded data files (e.g., CSVs, JSON) by initiating processing pipelines immediately.
  • Event-Driven Workflows: Trigger specific actions when new reports are generated and saved in a designated folder.
  • File Synchronization Monitoring: Detect changes or additions to files within a synchronization directory for automated backups or updates.

Key capabilities

  • Directory monitoring
  • File creation detection
  • Configurable file filters (type, name)
  • Action triggering on new file events

Example prompts

  • "Watch the /logs directory and send me an alert when a new log file is created."
  • "Monitor /data/incoming for CSV files and start processing them as soon as they appear."
  • “Create a watch daemon that triggers a summary report generation whenever a new report.pdf file appears in the /reports directory.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires appropriate permissions to access and monitor the specified directories. Ensure the AI agent has read access to the target location for proper functionality.
