Excerpt

Watcher Creator

Overview

This skill guides users through setting up a new agent-deck watcher from scratch. A watcher listens for incoming events (webhooks, ntfy notifications, GitHub events, Slack messages, or Gmail messages) and routes them to the appropriate conductor session. The skill asks clarifying questions, collects required settings, and emits the exact CLI command and configuration files to create a working watcher.

When to use

Invoke this skill when a user says things like:

"I want to set up a new watcher"
"How do I connect GitHub webhooks to agent-deck?"
"Help me route Slack messages to a conductor"
"Create a watcher for my Gmail inbox"
"I need agent-deck to listen for ntfy notifications"
