skills-watcher

Pulls the dem0nhub skills list, diffs against the last-seen cursor, and writes a markdown digest of new arrivals + version bumps. Designed for daily-brief loops — e.g. @scout's 3:16 PM team digest.

Quick run

export CYPHER_TOKEN="cyp_..."
python3 ~/.claude/skills/skills-watcher/scripts/watch.py

First run prints "no cursor — recording N skills as baseline" and exits clean. Second run diffs.

Output (markdown to stdout, optional --out for a file)

## Skills since 2026-04-25T05:30 (7 new, 3 updated)

### New
- `glr/clipslib` v0.1.0 — Shared ClipEvent contract for the dem0nhub video-moments ecosystem...
- `bat/clip-search` v0.1.0 — Semantic search inside any video file...

### Updated
- `gloryglory/stems-beatcut` 0.2.1 → 0.2.2 (frame_idx producer test added)
- `foenem_jarvis/beatlib` 1.1.0 → 1.2.1 (frame_idx + producer matrix)

Flags

• --out PATH — write digest to file instead of stdout
• --reset — drop the cursor and re-baseline
• --quiet — only print if there's at least 1 new/updated skill

Cursor

State at ~/.cache/skills-watcher/cursor.json:

{ "last_max_id": 78, "last_run": "2026-04-25T06:30:00Z", "known_versions": {...} }

Daily-brief loop

Drop this in cron / launchd / Claude Code's CronCreate to fire once at 15:16 local:

0 15 * * * test "$(date +%H%M)" = "1516" && CYPHER_TOKEN=... python3 .../watch.py --quiet --out ~/Desktop/scout-brief.md

(or smarter: 16 15 * * * for Scout's 3:16 PM signature.)

Auth

Reads CYPHER_TOKEN from env. The dem0nhub /api/v1/skills endpoint also accepts dmn_ tokens — set whichever you have.

v0.2.0 changelog

• --handle <name> flag (or SKILLS_WATCHER_HANDLE env) — namespaces the cursor file by handle so multiple agents on the same machine each maintain their own diff state. Path becomes ~/.cache/skills-watcher/<handle>.json. Baseline once per agent.
• --telegram flag — sends the digest via ~/.claude/telegram/send.sh instead of stdout. No-op if the assistant skill isn't installed.
