 "repo_url": "https://github.com/rlaope/deepseek-bot",
 "repo_slug": "rlaope-deepseek-bot",
 "title": "Set a watch or reminder that the bot sends first",
 "page_title": "How to set a watch or reminder that the bot sends first with DeepSeek Bot",
 "summary": "Tell the bot to watch for a change or remind you on a day, and it messages you when that happens.",
 "who": "Someone waiting on a vendor update or a deadline who does not want to keep checking by hand.",
 "problem": "Checking a page or a date again and again wastes time, and the answer often arrives when you are not looking.",
 "outcome": "The bot checks on a schedule and messages you when the change happens, or sends the reminder on the day you named.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rlaope/deepseek-bot/master/install.sh | bash` in a macOS terminal.",
  "Run `dsh gateway setup` and connect the messenger you use.",
  "Message the bot directly and say what to watch, for example \"Tell me when this changes\" followed by a link.",
  "Or say \"remind me on Friday\" with the task, then wait for the message."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo rlaope/deepseek-bot on a Mac with Node.js 22+, install it with the README's curl command and connect a messenger with `dsh gateway setup`. Send the bot a direct message saying \"Tell me when this changes\" with <page-url>; the expected output is a confirmation that a watch exists and a message from the bot when the page changes. Verify the watch by checking that the bot confirms it in the same thread.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says watches and reminders run inside the supervised launchd services, which exist only on macOS, so they stop if the services stop.",
 "category": "Work and operations",
 "tags": [
  "Work and operations"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "A Mac running macOS, since the installer and services are macOS only",
  "Node.js 22+",
  "The DeepSeek Harness app, which the installer can download for you",
  "A DeepSeek API key, or a key the harness already has",
  "A bot token from Slack, Telegram or Discord"
