Teknium ea8e608821 feat(skills): watchers skill — poll RSS / HTTP JSON / GitHub via cron no-agent (#21881) ... * feat(skills): watchers skill — poll RSS / HTTP JSON / GitHub via cron no-agent Ships three reusable polling scripts plus a shared watermark helper as an optional skill. Users wire them into the existing cron (no_agent=True) mode rather than learning a new subsystem. Supersedes the closed PR #21497 (parallel watcher subsystem). Same value, zero new core surface. ## What ships - optional-skills/devops/watchers/SKILL.md: pattern + three example cron commands - optional-skills/devops/watchers/scripts/_watermark.py: shared helper (atomic state writes, bounded ID set, first-run baseline) - optional-skills/devops/watchers/scripts/watch_rss.py: RSS 2.0 + Atom - optional-skills/devops/watchers/scripts/watch_http_json.py: any JSON endpoint with configurable id_field / items_path / headers - optional-skills/devops/watchers/scripts/watch_github.py: issues / pulls / releases / commits (uses GITHUB_TOKEN if present) ## Invariants enforced by the shared helper - First run records baseline, emits nothing (never replays existing feed) - Watermark file is <state_dir>/<name>.json, atomic replace on write - Bounded to 500 IDs (configurable) - Empty stdout when no new items — cron treats that as silent delivery ## Validation - watch_rss.py against news.ycombinator.com/rss first run → empty stdout, watermark populated - Removed one seen-id, second run → emitted exactly that item - No DeprecationWarnings (ET element truth-value footgun dodged explicitly) End-user pattern: 'hermes cron create my-feed --schedule "*/15 * * * *" --no-agent --script $HERMES_HOME/skills/devops/watchers/scripts/watch_rss.py --script-args "--name hn --url https://news.ycombinator.com/rss" --deliver telegram' * docs(skills/watchers): tighten description to match peer optional skills * docs(skills/watchers): align frontmatter + structure with peer optional skills * docs(skills/watchers): gate to linux/macos (shell syntax in examples)		2026-05-08 09:27:15 -07:00
