watchboard-ui

name	watchboard-ui
description	Control the running Agent Watchboard desktop UI from an agent through the installed watchboard-ui CLI, limited to reading layout state and managing non-terminal image/browser panels.

Watchboard UI

Use watchboard-ui when an agent needs to inspect the current Agent Watchboard panel split layout or create/remove non-terminal panels for visual output.

Safety Boundary

This skill can only manage runtime image/browser panels. It must not be used to create, close, collapse, resize, write to, or otherwise mutate terminal panels or agent sessions.

Path Rule

Image paths passed to watchboard-ui must be readable by the Agent Watchboard desktop app on the host where the app is running. If the agent runs in WSL and Agent Watchboard runs on Windows, pass a Windows-host-readable path, not an arbitrary WSL-only path. The CLI does not convert paths.

Commands

• watchboard-ui doctor
• watchboard-ui layout snapshot
• watchboard-ui action list
• watchboard-ui action describe panel.createImage
• watchboard-ui panel image --file <host-readable-path> --title <title> --split right
• watchboard-ui panel browser --url <url> --title <title> --split down
• watchboard-ui panel close <panelId>

All commands print JSON. Use returned panelId values when closing runtime panels.
