Long-running builds (home-manager, darwin, updates) can stall your workflow. This Skill runs those builds in the background and reports concise progress updates, so you stay informed without being overwhelmed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Background execution: Runs commands like make home, make update in background.
  • Poll-friendly updates: Periodic, concise status messages every 30-45 seconds.
  • Error detection: Parses output and reports failures with hints.

Quick Start

Start a background build with the supported commands (make home, make update, or make darwin) and let the monitor report status at regular intervals.
