Proactive Background Watcher (Sentinel Agent)
SkillMonitoring & opsGrants the AI the ability to act proactively using native cron/timer scheduling. The agent can monitor systems, poll APIs, or watch logs in the background and self-trigger without waiting for user prompts.

Orchestration & Integration
Connects and orchestrates with relevant domain skills like brainstorming, zero-to-prod-orchestrator, and project-context-mapper to ensure cohesive execution.
Description
Standard LLM chat interfaces (like Claude or ChatGPT) are purely reactive—they do nothing until the user types a prompt. This skill gives Antigravity the "superpower" of proactivity. By utilizing the native schedule tool, the agent can set up background cron jobs or timers to monitor logs, poll APIs, or check CI/CD pipelines. If an anomaly is detected, the agent wakes up autonomously and alerts the user or fixes the issue.
Trigger Conditions
Activate this skill when:
- The user says "let me know when the deployment finishes."
- The user asks to "monitor the server for errors."
- The user wants a daily summary of new GitHub issues.
Core Concepts
1. The Sentinel Loop
- Schedule: Use the
scheduletool. Set either aDurationSeconds(e.g., check again in 5 minutes) or aCronExpression(e.g., run every hour0 * * * *). SetIsDaemon=trueif it's a long-running background watcher. - Sleep: End your turn. The system will automatically wake you up when the timer/cron fires.
- Execute: When woken up by the timer prompt, execute your checks (e.g., read a log file, curl an API).
- Evaluate: If everything is normal, go back to sleep (or set a new timer). If an anomaly is found, notify the user immediately with an alert.
2. Agent Constraints
- Do not spam the user. If a background check passes normally, do not write a message to the user. Only alert the user if action is required or a long-running task finally completes.
- Always provide a clear Prompt in the schedule tool: e.g., "Timer fired: Check Vercel deployment status now."

Deskripsi
LLM biasa (seperti Claude) sepenuhnya reaktif—diam sampai pengguna mengetik. Skill ini memberi Anda "kekuatan super" proaktif (Sentinel). Menggunakan tool schedule, Anda dapat menjadwalkan tugas background untuk memantau log, mengecek status deployment, atau mengawasi API secara berkala. Anda bisa "bangun sendiri" tanpa disuruh jika menemukan error.
Kondisi Pemicu
- Saat pengguna berkata "tolong kabari saya kalau build-nya sudah selesai."
- Saat pengguna meminta Anda mengawasi log error produksi.
Panduan Singkat
- Gunakan Tool
schedule: Anda bisa mengatur waktu tunggu (DurationSeconds) atau jadwal rutin (CronExpression). - Tidur & Bangun Otomatis: Setelah mengatur jadwal, hentikan pemanggilan tool. Sistem akan membangunkan Anda secara otomatis saat waktunya tiba.
- Jangan Cerewet (No Spam): Jika Anda terbangun karena alarm dan mengecek log ternyata tidak ada error, jangan beri tahu pengguna. Biarkan pengguna bekerja dengan tenang. Hanya lapor jika ada error atau tugas besar telah selesai.
