What it does
File Watcher is an agent skill from rohitg00/pro-workflow. Configure file watching hooks to auto-react to config changes, env file updates, and dependency modifications. Use to set up reactive workflows.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Agent Workflows. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code learns from your corrections: self-correcting memory that compounds over 50+ sessions. Context engineering, parallel worktrees, agent teams, and 17 battle-tested…
When your agent uses it
- Set up reactive workflows
Example prompts
- “/file-watcher”
Requirements
- Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 86d5f27. 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:
npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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.
Context cost
File Watcher loads about 603 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:28
"/absolute/path/to/.env", - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:55
### Watch .env for Changes - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:57
const envFile = path.join(projectRoot, '.env'); - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:78
"matcher": ".env|package.json|tsconfig.json",
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 182 words (~603 tokens).
