ohdearManage Oh Dear website monitoring using the ohdear CLI. An agent skill from ohdearapp/ohdear-cli.
Ohdear is an agent skill from ohdearapp/ohdear-cli. Manage Oh Dear website monitoring using the ohdear CLI. ALWAYS activate when the user's message contains an ohdear.app URL (e.g. https://ohdear.app/monitors/123/check/broken-links/report). Extract the monitor ID and check type from the URL and use the CLI to fetch the data. Also use when the user wants to check if their site is up, view uptime or downtime, list or manage monitors, view broken links, mixed content, or certificate health, manage maintenance periods or status pages, configure cron checks, view DNS…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/commands.md` and `references/workflows.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web performance, Network security and Scheduled and recurring tasks. The repository describes itself as: The official Oh Dear CLI. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed9926e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
jqcomposerFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
ohdear.appFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Ohdear loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 200 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 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.
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.

.claude/skills/ohdear/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 2 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.The ohdear CLI manages Oh Dear website monitoring from the terminal. Every Oh Dear API endpoint has a corresponding command.
ohdear --version # Check if installed
composer global require ohdearapp/ohdear-cli # Install if neededohdear login # Prompted for API token (get it at https://ohdear.app/user-settings/api)
ohdear logout # Clear credentialsIf any command returns 401, run ohdear login again.
Commands use kebab-case names exactly as listed in references/commands.md. Do NOT guess command names — always look them up. Common mistakes to avoid:
sites:listlist-monitorsmonitors:getget-monitoruptime:getget-uptimeAlways check references/commands.md before running a command. If unsure, run ohdear <command> --help to verify parameters.
Commands output human-readable text by default. For any task that requires analysis, comparison, filtering, or counting, always use --json to get structured output you can parse:
ohdear list-monitors --json # Get all monitors as JSON
ohdear get-uptime --monitor-id=1 --json # Get uptime data as JSONOther format options: --yaml, --minify. Use -H to include response headers.
Note: --json works on API commands (list-, get-, etc.), not on utility commands (login, logout, clear-cache).
JSON structure: --json responses are paginated objects {data: [...], links: ...}, not bare arrays. Always use .data[] to access items (e.g. jq '.data[]'), never .[].
API keys are user-scoped. A user may belong to multiple teams. Monitors have a team_id field but no team_name. To resolve team names to IDs:
ohdear get-me --json | jq '.teams[] | {id, name}'Then filter monitors by team_id. Do NOT use list-managed-teams — that's a reseller-only endpoint.
When presenting results to the user, summarize clearly:
--run-id with historical run IDs to compare across runs — see workflows)get-crawled-urls-summary (tiny payload: totals + by-type breakdown). Only use list-crawled-urls-details with jq filters — it returns 100 items/page and can be very large. Never dump raw details into context.Oh Dear docs are available in clean markdown for easy reading. Append .md to any docs URL or request with Accept: text/markdown:

Manage Oh Dear website monitoring using the ohdear CLI. An agent skill from ohdearapp/ohdear-cli. Ohdear is an agent skill from ohdearapp/ohdear-cli. Manage Oh Dear website monitoring using the ohdear CLI.
Ohdear fits situations like: S message contains an ohdear.app URL (e.g; the user wants to check if their site is up; manage monitors; view broken links.
Run `npx skills add ohdearapp/ohdear-cli --skill ohdear -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ohdear in ohdearapp/ohdear-cli) into .claude/skills/ohdear in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ohdearapp/ohdear-cli --skill ohdear -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ohdear in ohdearapp/ohdear-cli) into .agents/skills/ohdear in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ohdearapp/ohdear-cli --skill ohdear -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ohdear, .gemini/skills/ohdear, .github/skills/ohdear and .opencode/skills/ohdear in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Ohdear needs the command-line tools its instructions call (jq and composer).
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: ohdear.app; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Ohdear is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 3.9k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
