How are API credentials managed?

The skill follows security best practices by loading Telegram and Pushover tokens from environment variables or secret managers like Doppler rather than hardcoding them.

Does this skill work on macOS?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns using 'stat' for file detection to ensure compatibility with macOS environments where standard GNU tools might behave differently.

Will sending notifications delay my process restarts?

No, the implementation uses a fire-and-forget background execution pattern (&) so that the notification script runs independently of the main watchexec loop.

Why use HTML for Telegram instead of Markdown?

HTML mode only requires escaping three specific characters (&, ), whereas Markdown requires escaping over 40 different characters, making HTML much more reliable for automated scripts.

분석 및 모니터링

Sends synchronized, properly formatted notifications to Telegram and Pushover when watchexec detects file changes or process crashes.

소개

This skill automates the configuration and delivery of real-time alerts for developers monitoring file system changes or background processes. By integrating watchexec with both Telegram and Pushover, it ensures high-reliability notifications across multiple devices. The skill expertly manages platform-specific formatting nuances—implementing HTML mode for Telegram to simplify character escaping and automatically stripping tags for Pushover's plain-text requirements—while utilizing background execution to ensure alerts never block critical development workflows or process restarts.
