Parallel Monitor

parallel-web/parallel-agent-skillsOfficial

This is server-side change tracking for the web. You give it a query and a cadence (hourly, daily, weekly), and it runs persistent checks in the background, accumulating events when something shifts. It's the right tool when a user says "monitor this page" or "alert me when the price drops" instead of a one-off lookup. You can attach webhooks to get pushed notifications, or just poll for events later. The skill wraps parallel-cli's monitor command, which means you need version 0.3.0 or newer installed and authenticated. Honestly, it's just cleaner than writing your own polling loop, and the event history sticks around server-side until you delete the monitor.

What this skill does

Monitors are long-running, server-side jobs that re-check the web on a cadence and emit events when something changes. Unlike search/research/findall (one-shot lookups), monitors persist until cancelled and can optionally deliver detected events through a webhook. Creation does not establish an ongoing agent notification service: explain how to read server-side events or use the configured webhook, without promising chat or email alerts.

The default type is event_stream, with frequency 1d and server processor lite. A snapshot monitor requires an existing Task run ID. Create or modify only the resource requested by the user; do not create a monitor just to demonstrate the skill.
