Research direction

Start by examining the repository structure and the main entry point (e.g., index.js or cli.js). The issue lacks details on how the tool currently works and what exactly should be watched. Look for similar watch implementations in other CLI tools to understand common patterns. Since the issue author admits they have no idea, any implementation will require clarifying the expected behavior with the maintainer. Check the package.json for any existing dependencies that could aid file watching (e.g., chokidar).
