Watch

SkillMonitoring & ops

Watch is a skill that lets your AI build a baseline survey of a research field and then keep an eye on it over time. Once added, your AI can track new papers and updates in an area you care about and follow up on changes, so you stay current without doing the checking yourself.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add Watch, then tell your AI which research field or topic you want to follow so it can create your first baseline. If scheduling is available, it can also set up follow-up checks to keep the watch current.

Then ask your AI: use the Watch skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Create a baseline survey of a research field
  • Track new papers in an area you follow
  • Watch a research topic for updates over time
  • Set up alerts on a research area
  • Schedule follow-up checks when scheduling tools are available

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by companion-inc/feynman in skills/watch/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Run the /watch workflow. The slash command expands the full workflow instructions in the active session; do not try to read a relative prompt-template path from the installed skill directory.

Agents used: researcher

Output: baseline survey in outputs/, plus a scheduled follow-up only when schedule_prompt is visible. If scheduling is unavailable, the workflow records that block instead of claiming a recurring watch exists.
