What it does
Install Watchdog is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Installs egregore watchdog daemon via launchd or systemd for autonomous relaunching. Use when setting up egregore on a new machine. Do not use on CI/CD runners.
Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Linux administration and CI/CD. It works with Linux and macOS. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up egregore on a new machine
- Tasks that involve Linux administration
- Tasks that involve CI/CD
Example prompts
- “Use the install-watchdog skill to install egregore watchdog daemon via launchd or systemd for autonomous relaunching”
- “/install-watchdog”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bash
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Install Watchdog loads about 837 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 356 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Install Watchdog
Overview
Installs a persistent daemon that monitors the egregore process and relaunches it when needed. The daemon uses the OS-native scheduler (launchd on macOS, systemd on Linux) to run a watchdog script every 5 minutes.
The watchdog script checks:
- Whether an egregore session is already running.
- Whether the budget is in cooldown.
- Whether there are active work items in the manifest.
If all conditions are met, it launches a new egregore session.
When To Use
- After initializing an egregore project (
egregore init) when you want autonomous relaunching. - When setting up egregore on a new machine.
When NOT To Use
- On CI/CD runners (use the orchestrator directly).
- When you want manual control over session launches.
Installation Steps
1. Detect the operating system
OS=$(uname -s)2. Run the appropriate installer
macOS (launchd):
bash plugins/egregore/scripts/install_launchd.shThis script creates a plist at
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist
that runs the watchdog script every 300 seconds (5 minutes).
Linux (systemd):
bash plugins/egregore/scripts/install_systemd.shThis script creates a systemd timer and service unit at
~/.config/systemd/user/ that fires every 5 minutes.
3. Verify installation
macOS:
launchctl list | grep egregoreExpected output: a line containing
com.egregore.watchdog with a PID or - status.
Linux:
systemctl --user status egregore-watchdog.timerExpected output: active (waiting) status.
4. Confirm to the user
Report the installation result, the schedule interval, and the log file location:
- macOS:
~/.egregore/watchdog.log - Linux:
journalctl --user -u egregore-watchdog
Show full SKILL.md (146 more words)Show less
Uninstall Command
To remove the watchdog, run:
Skill(egregore:uninstall-watchdog)Or invoke the uninstall skill directly via the command
/egregore:uninstall-watchdog.
Troubleshooting
- Permission denied on plist: ensure the script runs as the current user, not root.
- systemd user session not available: run
loginctl enable-linger $USERto enable user services without an active login session. - Watchdog not firing: check the log output and verify
the scheduler is loaded (
launchctl listorsystemctl --user list-timers).
Exit Criteria
- On macOS:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plistexists after the install script completes - On Linux:
~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.timerexists after the install script completes - Verification command confirms daemon is loaded:
launchctl list | grep egregorereturns a line (macOS), orsystemctl --user status egregore-watchdog.timershowsactive (waiting)(Linux) - Schedule interval (300 seconds / 5 minutes) and log file path reported to the user after installation
- If
permission deniedoccurs, the error is reported with the remediation step (run as current user, not root)
