Manage cc-watchdog state files that prevent premature Stop events in Claude Code. Use when the user says '/cc-watchdog', 'cc-watchdog', 'start the watchdog', 'stop the watchdog', 'list watchdogs', or asks to keep a session from auto-stopping. Subcommands: start/stop/status/list.

Invoke the cc-watchdog CLI at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/cc-watchdog. It writes/reads JSON under ${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/cc-watchdog/ that the Stop hook in persistent-mode.mjs reads.
Parse $ARGUMENTS into subcommand + optional name + optional message:
start, stop, status, or list. Required.start takes optional [name] and optional [message] (continuation string injected at Stop). Default name: $ZELLIJ_SESSION_NAME if set, otherwise "default".stop takes optional [name]. If name is omitted, it clears every watchdog whose project_path matches the current git root / cwd — confirm with the user before running stop without a name if there are multiple active watchdogs.status takes optional [name] (default: $ZELLIJ_SESSION_NAME if set, otherwise "default") and dumps the JSON.list takes no args and prints active watchdog names + project paths.Resolve the name before invoking: read $ZELLIJ_SESSION_NAME from the environment (it is always set inside a Zellij pane). Use it as the name whenever the user has not supplied one explicitly.
Invoke:
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/cc-watchdog <subcommand> [name] [message]
If the user's message is plain English ("start a watchdog to keep working on the migration"), infer the subcommand and a short message. Confirm the parsed arguments before running start or bare stop.
Unknown subcommand → the CLI prints the usage line and exits 1. Don't retry; show the usage to the user.
- `start` writes `{name}.json` with `active: true`, the message, current project root (from `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` or `$PWD`), and timestamps. - Watchdog state is project-scoped via `project_path` — a watchdog started in repo A won't block Stop in repo B. - Default continuation message if `$3` is omitted: *"Continue working. If you were mid-workflow, re-read the workflow TOC and current step file, then proceed from the current step."* - Name is sanitised to `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]`; slashes become underscores. Warn if the user's requested name gets mangled. - `$ZELLIJ_SESSION_NAME` is always present inside a Zellij pane (the `c` launcher creates one per invocation, e.g. `cc-myproject-1234567`). Use it verbatim as the default name — no need to prompt the user.npx claudepluginhub jacobcxdev/cc-plugins --plugin cc-skillsProvides behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes, focusing on simplicity, surgical changes, assumption surfacing, and verifiable success criteria.
