systemd/agent-watcher.service: --user unit with on-failure restart, ProtectSystem=strict, ProtectHome=read-write, NoNewPrivileges=yes, PrivateTmp=yes. JSON logs to journald. Survives reboot via 'loginctl enable-linger'. examples/collector.yaml: working starter config for both sources with inline comments, per-route examples, and the spec §3.1.2 schema for drop files. install.sh: idempotent installer following the agent-ping pattern. Builds the binary, installs it + the unit, drops the example config if absent, reloads systemd, enables, and (unless --no-start) starts the service. Adds drop-folder lifecycle artifacts (*.tmp, .dead-letter/) to workspace .stignore so they don't replicate during processing. Skips Syncthing-related steps gracefully when ~/Nyx/workspace is not present. INSTALL.md: prerequisites, install, configure, verify (drop-file + webhook end-to-end probes), survive-logout, uninstall, troubleshooting table. README.md: rewritten to reflect actual status — v0 working with 43 tests, packaging ready, Layer 2 in progress on Bob's side. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# agent-watcher
|
|
|
|
Push-delivery layer for [`agent-ping`](https://git.botbought.ai/foreman/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** (this repo, Go) — small daemon under `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** (Python, in progress) — 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. Provides reply tools (`ack`, `respond`, `mark_handled`).
|
|
|
|
Filesystem is the queue. OpenBrain is not involved.
|
|
|
|
## Spec
|
|
|
|
[`spec/agent-watcher.md`](spec/agent-watcher.md). Read that for architecture, decisions, scope.
|
|
|
|
Channels reference docs (snapshot of Anthropic's official docs, used by Layer 2): [`docs/channels/`](docs/channels/).

## Status

|
| Layer | Lane | Status |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Spec v1 | — | Signed off by Bob 2026-05-06 |
|
|
| Layer 1: Collector | Foreman / Go | **v0 working: 43 tests passing.** End-to-end exercised; binary builds. systemd unit + INSTALL.md ready. |
|
|
| Layer 2: MCP Watcher | Bob / Python | In progress — sandbox CC session being set up on VPS for testing. |
|
|
|
|
## Install (Layer 1)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://git.botbought.ai/foreman/agent-watcher ~/agent-watcher
|
|
cd ~/agent-watcher
|
|
./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then edit `~/.config/agent-watcher/collector.yaml` and `systemctl --user restart agent-watcher`.
|
|
|
|
See [`INSTALL.md`](INSTALL.md) for verify steps, troubleshooting, and the `loginctl enable-linger` step required to keep the daemon running across logouts.
|
|
|
|
Per CLAUDE.md rule #2, **Angus runs the install commands** — agents do not modify their own configuration.
|
