What it does

C Notify is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Send native macOS notification center alerts from the command line using terminal-notifier.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/c-notify”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

C Notify loads about 320 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 40 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~320

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.

Notifications (terminal-notifier)

bash
# Simple notification
terminal-notifier -title "OpenPaw" -message "Task complete!"

# With subtitle and sound
terminal-notifier -title "Build" -subtitle "Project X" -message "Done!" -sound default

# Open URL when clicked
terminal-notifier -title "PR Merged" -message "Click to view" -open "https://github.com/..."

# Activate app when clicked
terminal-notifier -title "Music" -message "Now playing" -activate "com.spotify.client"

# Group notifications (replaces previous in same group)
terminal-notifier -title "Progress" -message "50%" -group "build"
terminal-notifier -title "Progress" -message "100%" -group "build"

# Remove a notification group
terminal-notifier -remove "build"

# Custom app icon
terminal-notifier -title "Alert" -message "Hello" -appIcon /path/to/icon.png

Guidelines

  • Use notifications to alert the user when long tasks complete
  • Group related notifications so they don't spam
  • Add -sound default for important alerts
  • Use -open URL to make notifications actionable
  • Keep messages short — notifications truncate long text
