You can create an inline Guard directly within your Guardfile:

module ::Guard
  class Test < Guard
    def run_on_additions(paths)
      puts "New paths: #{ paths.inspect }"
    end
  end
end

guard 'test'

You'll find the docs for the Guard plugin base class on rubydoc.info. If your inline Guard grows, you can create your own Guard plugin gem, see the Wiki page on how to create a Guard

Another option is to use Listen directly, which is the file listener that was extracted from Guard.
