What it does

Whendone Plus is an agent skill from EliasOulkadi/shokunin. Automatically notify the user when long-running terminal commands finish (npm test, docker build, git push, etc.). The agent monitors command execution and sends a desktop notification on completion if the command ran longer than threshold (default 10s). Use when user asks to "notify me when done", "desktop notification when command finishes", "alert when done", or "tell me when this completes". Do NOT use for interactive commands (vim, nano, less, htop), commands that always complete in <5s, or streaming…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/notify.js`). Compatibility notes: opencode

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Containers. It works with Docker, npm and Git. The repository describes itself as: 職人 Shokunin 62 AI agent skills for OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf. ChromaDB memory, MCP servers, declarative self-updates. Multi-model, open source, zero cost. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks to notify me when done
  • Desktop notification when command finishes
  • Alert when done
  • Tell me when this completes

Example prompts

  • “notify me when done”
  • “desktop notification when command finishes”
  • “alert when done”
  • “/whendone-plus”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Docker
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): opencode

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect long-running command
  2. Monitor execution
  3. Notify on completion
  4. Handle edge cases

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c68e5b. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • docker
    • git
    • cargo
    • osascript
    • npx
    • pip
    • pnpm
    • yarn
    • go
    • dotnet

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, docker, git, npx, pip, pnpm and yarn, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    opencode

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Whendone Plus loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 565 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

WhenDone Plus

Automatically notify when long-running commands complete.

How It Works

  1. User runs a long command (e.g. npm test, docker build, git push)
  2. The agent monitors the command execution time
  3. If the command runs longer than the threshold (default 10s), the agent notifies the user on completion
  4. Exit code is passed through

Workflow

Step 1: Detect long-running command

Identify commands likely to exceed threshold:

  • npm test, npm run test, npx playwright test
  • docker build, docker compose up, docker compose down
  • git push, git pull, git clone
  • pip install, npm install, pnpm install, yarn install
  • cargo build, cargo test, go build, dotnet build
  • Custom scripts, database migrations, data processing pipelines
  • ffmpeg, rsync, scp, large file transfers
Step 2: Monitor execution

Start a background timer when the command begins. Track:

  • Elapsed wall-clock time
  • Peak memory usage (if available)
  • Child process tree (for pipeline awareness)
Step 3: Notify on completion

Basic notification format:

✅ "Command finished: npm test completed in 142s (exit 0)"
❌ "Command finished: docker build failed in 89s (exit 1)"

Include:

  • Command name (first word + key args)
  • Execution time (rounded to seconds)
  • Exit code (success/failure)
  • Optional: memory peak, output file path if redirected
Step 4: Handle edge cases
  • Commands completing under 10s: no notification (too fast to matter)
  • Interactive/TUI commands (vim, nano, htop): skip (user is watching)
  • Piped commands (e.g. npm test | grep error): monitor the pipeline, not the first process
  • Backgrounded commands (&): notify on background process completion
  • Chained commands (;): notify per-segment or in aggregate
  • Commands killed by signal: notify with signal name (e.g. "killed by SIGTERM")

Notification Mechanisms

Windows Toast Notification (PowerShell)
powershell
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$balloon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
$balloon.Icon = [System.Drawing.SystemIcons]::Information
$balloon.BalloonTipTitle = "Command Complete"
$balloon.BalloonTipText = "npm test finished in 142s (exit 0)"
$balloon.Visible = $true
$balloon.ShowBalloonTip(5000)
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
$balloon.Dispose()
Terminal Bell (cross-platform)
bash
echo -e "\a"                         # ASCII bell character
printf '\a'                          # POSIX
BurntToast Module (Windows 10/11)
powershell
Import-Module BurntToast
New-BurntToastNotification -Text "Command Complete", "npm test finished in 142s (exit 0)"
macOS Notification
bash
osascript -e 'display notification "npm test finished in 142s" with title "Command Complete"'
terminal-notifier -title "Command Complete" -message "npm test finished in 142s"
Linux Notification (notify-send)
bash
notify-send "Command Complete" "npm test finished in 142s"

Error Handling

ErrorCauseFix
Notification never firesCommand completed under thresholdExpected. Threshold is 10s by default.
Wrong exit code reportedShell pipeline masking failuresUse $PIPESTATUS in bash, $LASTEXITCODE in PowerShell
Notification module missingBurntToast/notify-send not installedFallback to terminal bell or Write-Host
Silent failure on background jobJob detached from monitor processUse Wait-Job in PowerShell, wait in bash
Double notificationParent and child process both fireTrack PID tree, notify only on root process
Desktop notification blockedSystem focus assist or DnD modeFallback to terminal output with colored exit code
Command output lostNotification intercepts stdout/stderrAlways tee or capture output before monitoring

Anti-Patterns

MistakeFix
Notify for every commandOnly if >10s threshold
Breaking pipesEnsure stdout/stderr passthrough
Breaking exit codesPass through original exit code
Notifications for interactive commandsSkip if TUI detected
Notify and then continue workingWait for notification confirmation or user acknowledgment
Assuming notification system is availableAlways have a text-only fallback (Write-Host)
Monitoring subprocess instead of pipelineTrack the entire pipeline PID group

Checklist

  • Notification method matches platform (BurntToast on Windows, terminal-notifier on macOS, notify-send on Linux)
  • Threshold duration set appropriately (default 10s — not too short, not too long)
  • Not used for interactive commands (vim, nano, htop, less)
  • Custom message includes the command name and result (success/fail)
  • Fallback: terminal bell or Write-Host if notification fails
