Wander — CI/CD Monitor Skill

Don't watch. Wander. Elegant automation for monitoring GitHub Actions without polling.

When to use this skill

• User wants to monitor a GitHub Actions workflow after push
• User asks how to get notified when CI completes
• User wants to avoid refreshing the Actions page
• User integrates CI monitoring into a project (e.g. ClawHub publish)

---

Install

git clone https://github.com/ERerGB/wander.git
cd wander
chmod +x *.sh

Prerequisites: gh CLI (authenticated), jq, macOS (for notifications)

---

Usage patterns

1. Smart push (recommended for Wander's own repo)

cd wander
./smart-push.sh

Recommends smoke / e2e / skip based on changed files. Pushes and monitors.

2. Manual control (any repo)

# From target repo (e.g. openclaw-uninstall)
git push

# Choose monitoring mode:
../wander/watch-workflow.sh publish.yml      # Foreground, block until done
../wander/watch-workflow-bg.sh publish.yml  # Background, macOS notify when done
../wander/watch-workflow-detached.sh publish.yml  # Detached, can close terminal

3. Project integration

Add a wrapper script in the project:

#!/bin/bash
# scripts/watch-publish.sh
REPO_ROOT="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd)"
WANDER_DIR="${WANDER_DIR:-$(dirname "$REPO_ROOT")/wander}"
cd "$REPO_ROOT"
exec "$WANDER_DIR/watch-workflow-bg.sh" publish.yml "$@"

Then: git push && ./scripts/watch-publish.sh

Edge cases (from experience)

Scenario	Behavior	Tip
Workflow finishes in < 30s	"Already completed" + immediate notify	Use watch-workflow-bg; it detects recent completion
Push then monitor immediately	Workflow may not start for 5–10s	Script waits up to 30s for workflow to appear
Wrong branch	No workflow after 30s	Ensure workflow is configured for current branch
No lock file in repo	setup-node cache: npm fails	Remove cache: "npm" from workflow if no package-lock.json

---

Workflow registry

For custom check_window / expected_duration, add .workflows.yml in project root or set WORKFLOW_REGISTRY_FILE:

workflows:
  - name: "publish.yml"
    description: "Publish to ClawHub"
    check_window: 120
    expected_duration: 30
    category: "publish"

Default: check_window=300 when workflow not in registry.
