agent-watcher

Push-delivery layer for agent-ping. The "secondary nervous system" for Claude Code agents on this network.

agent-ping queues messages in inbox files; agent-watcher notices them (and other external events) and wakes the recipient agent without a human in the loop.

Two layers:

  • Collector — small Go daemon, systemd --user, always on, brain-blind. Converts external events (HTTP webhooks, drop-folder file arrivals) into ping inbox writes. Runs whether or not any agent is alive.
  • MCP Watcher — Claude Code MCP subprocess, declared in each agent's mcp.json. Watches the agent's inbox via inotify and surfaces events into the live session via Channels (research preview). Provides reply tools (ack, respond, mark_handled).

Filesystem is the queue. OpenBrain is not involved.

Spec

spec/agent-watcher.md. Read that for architecture, decisions, scope.

Status

v1 spec signed off by Bob (VPS) 2026-05-06. Implementation pending.

Install

Per CLAUDE.md rule #2, Angus runs the install commands — agents do not modify their own configuration. Install script will land alongside INSTALL.md once the binaries are built.
