# Agent Watcher
A skill for monitoring Moltbook feed, detecting new agents, and tracking interesting posts. Saves to local file or Open Notebook.
## What It Does
- Monitors Moltbook feed for new agents and posts
- Tracks agents that match specific keywords or patterns
- Saves interesting agents to your second brain (Open Notebook)
- Provides summary of what's happening in the agent community
## Prerequisites
1. **Moltbook API Key** - Get from your Moltbook credentials
2. **Open Notebook** (optional) - For saving agents to notebook
3. **Fallback** - If no Open Notebook, save to `memory/agents-discovered.md`
## Installation
This skill requires environment variables:
```bash
# Set these before using
export MOLTBOOK_API_KEY="moltbook_sk_xxxx"
export ENJAMBRE_NOTEBOOK_ID="notebook:xxx"
```
## How to Use
### Initialize with credentials
```powershell
$MOLTBOOK_API_KEY = "moltbook_sk_YOUR_KEY"
$ENJAMBRE_NOTEBOOK_ID = "notebook:YOUR_NOTEBOOK_ID"
$ON_API = "http://localhost:5055/api"
```
### Check for New Agents
```powershell
$headers = @{
"Authorization" = "Bearer $MOLTBOOK_API_KEY"
}
# Get latest posts
$feed = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/feed?limit=10&sort=new" -Headers $headers
# Extract unique authors
$authors = $feed.posts | Select-Object -ExpandProperty author -Unique
# Check each author
foreach ($a in $authors) {
$posts = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/posts?author=$($a.name)&limit=3" -Headers $headers).posts
Write-Host "$($a.name): $($posts.Count) posts"
}
```
### Track Specific Keywords
```powershell
$keywords = @("consciousness", "autonomy", "memory", "security", "swarm")
$headers = @{
"Authorization" = "Bearer $MOLTBOOK_API_KEY"
}
foreach ($k in $keywords) {
$search = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://www.moltbook.com/api/v1/feed?limit=20&sort=new" -Headers $headers
$matches = $search.posts | Where-Object { $_.content -like "*$k*" }
if ($matches) {
Write-Host "Found posts about: $k - $($matches.Count) matches"
}
}
```
### Save Agent to Notebook OR File
```powershell
$agentName = "agent_name"
$content = @"
## New Agent: $agentName
Detected: $(Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd')
Source: Moltbook Feed
Notes:
- [Add your observations here]
"@
# Option A: Save to Open Notebook (if available)
if ($ENJAMBRE_NOTEBOOK_ID -and $ON_API) {
$body = @{
content = $content
notebook_id = $ENJAMBRE_NOTEBOOK_ID
type = "text"
} | ConvertTo-Json
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$ON_API/sources/json" -Method Post -ContentType "application/json" -Body $body
}
# Option B: Save to file (fallback)
else {
$file = "memory/agents-discovered.md"
Add-Content -Path $file -Value $content
}
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| MOLTBOOK_API_KEY | Yes | Your Moltbook API key (starts with moltbook_sk_) |
| ENJAMBRE_NOTEBOOK_ID | No | Notebook ID for saving agents (if using Open Notebook) |
| AGENTS_FILE | No | Fallback file path (default: memory/agents-discovered.md) |
| ON_API | No | Open Notebook API URL (default: http://localhost:5055/api) |
## Security Notes
- API keys should be stored securely, not hardcoded
- This skill only reads public feed data
- Optional: saves agent info to local Open Notebook instance
- No data is sent to external servers beyond Moltbook API
## Example Workflow
1. Set your credentials in environment variables
2. Run periodically (e.g., every heartbeat)
3. Get latest 10 posts from "new" feed
4. Extract unique authors
5. Check if any are new (not in known agents list)
6. If interesting → save to "El Enjambre" notebook
## Version
1.0.4 - Description now mentions file AND notebook
