Notifery

Agent Skill

The Notifery skill teaches your AI agent when and how to use the MCP server to send you notifications. Once installed, your agent will automatically notify you about task completions, errors, and progress without you having to ask each time.

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  1. The Notifery MCP server must be configured (see MCP Server)

Installation

Section titled “Installation”
Terminal window
npx skills add notifery/mcp

How it works

Section titled “How it works”

The skill activates when your AI agent detects one of these triggers in a conversation:

  • Explicit requests — “notify me”, “send notification”, “let me know when done”, “alert me”, “ping me”
  • Mentions of Notifery — “notifery”
  • Proactive triggers — a long-running task completes or fails and you previously asked to be notified

When triggered, the skill tells your agent to call the send_notification tool from the MCP server with the right parameters for the situation.

Workflows

Section titled “Workflows”

Task completion

Section titled “Task completion”

When a task finishes successfully, the skill sends a notification with:

  • title: short summary of what completed (e.g. “Build finished”)
  • message: details or output summary
  • code: 0
  • duration: elapsed time in milliseconds, if known

Error notification

Section titled “Error notification”

When something fails, the skill sends a notification with:

  • title: what failed (e.g. “Deploy failed”)
  • message: error details, stack trace summary, or actionable context
  • code: a positive integer (e.g. 1 for a general error, or the actual exit code)

Progress update

Section titled “Progress update”

For ongoing work, the skill sends a short-lived status update with:

  • title: current status (e.g. “Running tests: 45/120 passed”)
  • message: additional context if helpful
  • code: 0
  • ttl: short expiry, e.g. 300 (5 minutes)
