Scenario
Staying informed about important events without constant monitoring is essential. Cowork can help set up notification systems that alert you when specific conditions are met.
💬
Prompt
I want to set up automated notifications on my Mac. Please create: 1. File monitoring: - Alert when any file is added to ~/Downloads - Alert when ~/Documents/Important changes 2. System alerts: - Notify if disk usage exceeds 80% - Alert when a specific process stops 3. Scheduled reminders: - Daily standup reminder at 9:45 AM - Weekly backup reminder on Sundays Create the scripts and launchd configurations. Save to ~/Scripts/notifications/
✨
Expected Result
Claude will create: - File monitoring scripts (using fswatch) - System check scripts (disk space etc.) - Scheduled reminder scripts (using native dialogs) - launchd configuration files (for scheduled tasks)
💡
Tips
- • Ensure script files have execute permission (chmod +x)
- • Consider integrating with Slack/Discord for remote alerts
- • Add deduplication logic to avoid repeated notifications
