 "title": "Get push alerts when an agent needs you",
 "page_title": "How to get push alerts when an agent needs you with Ovis",
 "summary": "Receive a phone alert when an agent asks a question or finishes, even with the app closed.",
 "who": "A developer who starts a long agent task and wants to leave the desk without checking the pane every few minutes.",
 "problem": "An agent pauses for input or completes work, and you only learn about it when you return to the screen.",
 "outcome": "Your phone gets a push alert when an agent needs input or finishes, and one tap opens the pane.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Ovis with `herdr plugin install devswha/ovis` if herdr 0.9.0+, Bun 1.4+ and Node 18+ are already present.",
  "Set up phone access from Phone setup in herdr and add the app to your phone's home screen.",
  "Allow notifications in the installed app when your phone asks for permission.",
  "Start an agent in a herdr pane and leave the app open or closed.",
  "Tap the alert when it arrives to open the pane's question or the finished result."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the devswha/ovis repo, configure push alerts for the Ovis install on <target computer>. Confirm that a test Claude Code pane that asks a question triggers a push on <target phone>, and report whether the alert opens the correct pane.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code",
  "codex"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says installation and push alerts need a secure context such as HTTPS or localhost, so plain HTTP over a LAN is not enough for alerts.",
 "category": "Software and DevOps",
 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "A computer with herdr 0.9.0 or newer, Bun 1.4 or newer and Node 18 or newer (Node is not needed on Windows)",
  "Git, curl and tar on Linux or macOS, or Git for Windows on Windows x64",
  "A herdr pane running Claude Code, Codex or another supported agent",
  "Optional: Tailscale on the computer and your phone for access away from your desk"
