Git Workflow Notifications

SkillCommunication

Configure and diagnose opt-in desktop notifications for completed Claude Code or Codex turns and new reviews on pull requests you authored. Use when the user asks to enable agent-finished alerts, watch approvals or requested changes on their PRs, inspect notification configuration, or get the background daemon command.

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

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Git Workflow Notifications skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by rlajous/claude-code-commands in skills/notifications/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Resolve {SKILL_DIR} to the absolute, physical directory containing this loaded SKILL.md. If the host cannot expose the path, use PLUGIN_ROOT, then CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, only to locate skills/notifications/SKILL.md. Verify every requested resource exists. Never substitute an empty variable or silently fall back to /scripts.

Commands

  • --doctor → run bash "{SKILL_DIR}/scripts/notification-tools.sh" --doctor, report the output, and exit. The check must not query pull requests, create state, or emit a desktop notification.
  • --daemon-command → run bash "{SKILL_DIR}/scripts/notification-tools.sh" --daemon-command, print the absolute command unchanged, and exit.
  • No argument → show the resolved configuration with python3 "{SKILL_DIR}/scripts/notification_config.py", explain which channels are enabled, and print the daemon command when PR activity or review requests are enabled.

The daemon is required for GitHub activity. Agent-complete notifications use the plugin's Stop hook and do not require the daemon.

Configuration

Read .git-workflow/config.yaml, then the legacy .claude/config.yaml fallback:

notifications:
  agentComplete: false
  prActivity: false
  sound: Glass

Both channels are opt-in. notifications.sound applies to all Git Workflow notifications. When it is absent, accept reviewWatch.sound as a compatibility fallback, then use Glass.

Expected events

Agent completion announces only the main turn. Do not add SubagentStop or failure alerts. GitHub activity announces submitted APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, and COMMENTED reviews on open PRs authored by the authenticated user. General PR comments, CI, merges, dismissals, and commits are outside this workflow.

Notification failures are best effort and must never fail a turn or review workflow. Do not read or persist full transcripts; the completion adapter uses only the first useful line of last_assistant_message and stores only a deduplication digest.

Runtime compatibility

Claude invokes this skill as /notifications; Codex invokes it as $notifications. Keep shared behavior host-neutral. Claude loads hooks/claude-hooks.json, Codex plugins load hooks/hooks.json, and a source checkout exposes the project hook through .codex/hooks.json.
