Can I customize the frequency of the checks?

Yes, each watcher has a configurable check interval ranging from real-time filesystem monitoring to scheduled hourly checks for financial data.

What sources can the Watcher Management skill monitor?

It is designed to monitor Gmail, WhatsApp Web, local filesystems, and bank APIs, but can be extended to any source using the provided BaseWatcher pattern.

How does it deliver data to the user?

Watchers identify updates and automatically create markdown files in a 'Needs Action' folder within an Obsidian vault for the user or AI to process.

How does it handle process crashes or restarts?

The skill includes specific guidance for using PM2 and supervisord to ensure background watchers stay running and restart automatically after a failure or system reboot.
