Documentation

README

Excerpt

Background Watch Hook

Use this skill when the job is "wait now, continue later in the same conversation".

What it gives the agent:

a managed background task instead of manual polling
a clean way to come back to the same channel or thread later
a reusable pattern that works for reviews, CI, files, logs, and process completion

Good trigger scenarios:

PR reviews or comments may arrive later
CI, deployments, or exports need time to finish
a file, log line, or process exit should wake the agent up later

Prefer vibe watch when the wait should be inspectable, pausable, resumable, or removable later.
