headsup-notifications-9ed6c8 — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited headsup-notifications-9ed6c8 (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The launchd watchdog (claude-code.headsup-watchdog) runs every 30 seconds. When it finds a tab whose state file has been orange (waiting) for longer than THRESHOLD_MIN minutes, it fires a macOS notification. This skill is the user-friendly way to toggle the feature, change the threshold, change the sound, or test that it works.
Notifications are posted from the bundled headsup-notifier.app at ~/Library/Application Support/headsup/, so Notification Center renders them with the headsup icon. The bundle is built and installed by setup.sh (Step 5/8). No third-party dependencies like terminal-notifier are required.
| Form | Effect |
|---|---|
/headsup-notifications | Show current state (enabled / threshold / sound) |
/headsup-notifications on | Enable notifications |
/headsup-notifications off | Disable notifications |
/headsup-notifications <N> | Set threshold to N minutes (positive integer) |
/headsup-notifications <N> on | Set threshold AND enable |
/headsup-notifications <N> off | Set threshold AND disable |
/headsup-notifications test | Fire a test notification right now (doesn't change config) |
/headsup-notifications sound <name> | Set sound, any macOS system sound name (Glass, Ping, Submarine, etc.) |
/headsup-notifications sound none | Silence the notification |
Run the helper script with the user's args. Don't try to parse the args yourself; pass them through unchanged. The helper updates the config in place and prints the resulting state.
~/.claude/hooks/headsup-notifications.sh "$@"If the user just said "turn on notifications" or "enable", pass on. "Turn them off" or "disable" becomes off. "Set the threshold to 10 minutes" or "wait 10 minutes" becomes 10. "Test it" or "send me a test" becomes test.
After the helper prints the new state, don't add a long explanation; the output is clear enough. One short confirmation sentence if the change is non-obvious (e.g., "Notifications will now fire after 10 minutes of waiting").
macOS requires per-bundle notification permission. The first time a notification fires (from /headsup-notifications test or a real wait), macOS shows "headsup wants to send notifications." Click Allow. The decision sticks to the bundle's codesigning identity, so future notifications fire silently.
If notifications stop appearing later: System Settings, Notifications, scroll for headsup, ensure "Allow Notifications" is on.
If headsup isn't in the list at all (rare, indicates macOS recorded a silent denial), the recovery is in the README's Troubleshooting section: bump the bundle ID in notifier-app/Info.plist.template and re-run setup.sh so macOS treats it as a fresh app.
What you see when a notification fires:
| Slot | Source |
|---|---|
| Top header + icon | headsup (the bundle's CFBundleName) and the orange face icon |
| Title (large, bold) | The per-tab badge from ~/.claude/hooks/.state/<uuid>.badge (matches the iTerm2 watermark; defaults to the project name, override via /headsup-label) |
| Subtitle | Claude is waiting |
| Body | Idle for <N>m (or longer) |
| Sound | NOTIFICATION_SOUND from conf (default Glass) |
The title differing from the app name is how you tell which tab needs you when multiple are waiting.
THRESHOLD_MIN is matched against the .state file's mtime via find -mmin +N. The watchdog runs every 30s, so the actual notification fires at THRESHOLD_MIN to THRESHOLD_MIN + 30s after Claude started waiting.
The wait period is identified by:
.state color matches WAIT_COLOR (orange).state mtime is older than THRESHOLD_MIN minutes.notified sidecar exists, OR .notified is older than .state (a fresh wait period started)When you respond (UserPromptSubmit), the state file gets rewritten with a new color and mtime; the next wait period restarts the cycle.
find -mmin is integer-minute granularity, and the watchdog cadence is 30s. Sub-minute would require additional changes to both.~/.claude/hooks/headsup-notifications.sh is this skill's helper script~/.claude/hooks/headsup-notifications.conf is the persisted config~/.claude/hooks/headsup-notify-waiting.sh is the actual notifier sweep (called from the watchdog)~/.claude/hooks/headsup-watchdog.sh calls the notifier every 30s~/Library/Application Support/headsup/headsup-notifier.app is the Swift binary that posts the notification (so macOS renders the headsup icon)All under version control at github.com/wasulajr/headsup.
