Guide for creating agent-deck watchers conversationally. This skill should be used when users want to set up a new watcher (webhook, ntfy, github, slack, gmail) to route events to a conductor. It walks the user through selecting an adapter type, gathering required settings, emitting the exact `agent-deck watcher create` command to run, and the watcher.toml and clients.json entries that go with it. Not for writing your own webhook server, GitHub Actions workflows, building Slack apps or bots…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Watcher Creator

## Overview

This skill guides users through setting up a new agent-deck watcher from scratch. A watcher listens for incoming events (webhooks, ntfy notifications, GitHub events, Slack messages, or Gmail messages) and routes them to the appropriate conductor session. The skill asks clarifying questions, collects required settings, and emits the exact CLI command and configuration files to create a working watcher.

## When to use

Invoke this skill when a user says things like:
- "I want to set up a new watcher"
- "How do I connect GitHub webhooks to agent-deck?"
- "Help me route Slack messages to a conductor"
- "Create a watcher for my Gmail inbox"
- "I need agent-deck to listen for ntfy notifications"

## Step-by-step conversational flow

### Step 1: Choose adapter type

Ask the user which source they want to receive events from. Present the five options:

1. **webhook** - Generic HTTP POST webhook (any service that can send HTTP)
2. **ntfy** - ntfy.sh push notification topic
3. **github** - GitHub repository webhooks (issues, PRs, pushes)
4. **slack** - Slack messages via a Cloudflare Worker bridge to ntfy
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add asheshgoplani/agent-deck/watcher-creator@sha256:615dafbcdf2eaa9f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.93cd154, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
