Watcher Management Skill
This skill manages the perception layer of the Personal AI Employee - the watcher processes that monitor external sources and feed data into the Obsidian vault.
Watcher Types
| Watcher | Source | Check Interval | Output Folder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gmail Watcher | Gmail API | 2 minutes | /Needs_Action/ |
| WhatsApp Watcher | WhatsApp Web | 30 seconds | /Needs_Action/ |
| Filesystem Watcher | Drop folder | Realtime | /Needs_Action/ |
| Finance Watcher | Bank API | 1 hour | /Needs_Action/ |
Base Watcher Pattern
class BaseWatcher(ABC):
def __init__(self, vault_path: str, check_interval: int = 60):
self.vault_path = Path(vault_path)
self.needs_action = self.vault_path / 'Needs_Action'
self.check_interval = check_interval
@abstractmethod
def check_for_updates(self) -> list:
pass
@abstractmethod
def create_action_file(self, item) -> Path:
pass
def run(self):
while True:
items = self.check_for_updates()
for item in items:
self.create_action_file(item)
time.sleep(self.check_interval)
Process Management
Use PM2 or supervisord to keep watchers running:
# Start with PM2
pm2 start gmail_watcher.py --interpreter python3
# Save and set to auto-start
pm2 save
pm2 startup
