    # Gotify Notification Skill
    
    Send push notifications to your Gotify server when long-running tasks complete or important events occur.
    
    ## Purpose
    
    This skill enables Clawdbot to send push notifications via Gotify, useful for:
    - Alerting when long-running tasks complete
    - Sending status updates for background operations
    - Notifying of important events or errors
    - Integration with task completion hooks
    
    ## Setup
    
    Create the credentials file: `~/.clawdbot/credentials/gotify/config.json`
    
    ```json
    {
      "url": "https://gotify.example.com",
      "token": "YOUR_APP_TOKEN"
    }
    ```
    
    - `url`: Your Gotify server URL (no trailing slash)
    - `token`: Application token from Gotify (Settings → Apps → Create Application)
    
    ## Usage
    
    ### Basic Notification
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/send.sh "Task completed successfully"
    ```
    
    ### With Title
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/send.sh --title "Build Complete" --message "skill-sync tests passed"
    ```
    
    ### With Priority (0-10)
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/send.sh -t "Critical Alert" -m "Service down" -p 10
    ```
    
    ### Markdown Support
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/send.sh --title "Deploy Summary" --markdown --message "
    ## Deployment Complete
    
    - **Status**: ✅ Success
    - **Duration**: 2m 34s
    - **Commits**: 5 new
    "
    ```
    
    ## Integration with Task Completion
    
    ### Option 1: Direct Call After Task
    
    ```bash
    # Run long task
    ./deploy.sh && bash ~/clawd/skills/gotify/scripts/send.sh "Deploy finished"
    ```
    
    ### Option 2: Hook Integration (Future)
    
    When Clawdbot supports task completion hooks, this skill can be triggered automatically:
    
    ```bash
    # Example hook configuration (conceptual)
    {
      "on": "task_complete",
      "run": "bash ~/clawd/skills/gotify/scripts/send.sh 'Task: {{task_name}} completed in {{duration}}'"
    }
    ```
    
    ## Parameters
    
    - `-m, --message <text>`: Notification message (required)
    - `-t, --title <text>`: Notification title (optional)
    - `-p, --priority <0-10>`: Priority level (default: 5)
      - 0-3: Low priority
      - 4-7: Normal priority
      - 8-10: High priority (may trigger sound/vibration)
    - `--markdown`: Enable markdown formatting in message
    
    ## Examples
    
    ### Notify when subagent finishes
    
    ```bash
    # After spawning subagent
    sessions_spawn --task "Research topic" --label my-research
    # ... wait for completion ...
    bash scripts/send.sh -t "Research Complete" -m "Check session: my-research"
    ```
    
    ### Notify on error with high priority
    
    ```bash
    if ! ./critical-task.sh; then
      bash scripts/send.sh -t "⚠️ Critical Failure" -m "Task failed, check logs" -p 10
    fi
    ```
    
    ### Rich markdown notification
    
    ```bash
    bash scripts/send.sh --markdown -t "Daily Summary" -m "
    # System Status
    
    ## ✅ Healthy
    - UniFi: 34 clients
    - Sonarr: 1,175 shows
    - Radarr: 2,551 movies
    
    ## 📊 Stats
    - Uptime: 621h
    - Network: All OK
    "
    ```
    
    ## Workflow
    
    When the user says:
    - **"Notify me when this finishes"** → Add `&& bash scripts/send.sh "Task complete"` to their command
    - **"Send a Gotify alert"** → Run `bash scripts/send.sh` with their message
    - **"Push notification for task completion"** → Integrate into their workflow with appropriate title/priority
    
    Always confirm the notification was sent successfully (check for JSON response with message ID).
    
    ## Notes
    
    - Requires network access to your Gotify server
    - App token must have "create message" permission
    - Priority levels affect notification behavior on client devices
    - Markdown support depends on Gotify client version (most modern clients support it)
