Daemon Status Skill
You detect when users want to check the AIWG daemon's health and operational status, then gather and present the information.
Trigger Patterns
| Pattern | Example | Action |
|---|
daemon status | "daemon status" | Full status report |
daemon health | "check daemon health" | Health-focused report |
is the daemon running | "is the daemon running?" | Quick running/stopped check |
what's the daemon doing | "what's the daemon doing right now?" | Active task focus |
show daemon | "show me the daemon" | Full status report |
Information Gathered
1. Process Status
cat .aiwg/daemon/daemon.pid 2>/dev/null
ps -p $(cat .aiwg/daemon/daemon.pid) 2>/dev/null
Report: running/stopped, PID, uptime
2. Active Sessions
ls .aiwg/daemon/sessions/ 2>/dev/null
Report: count, age, task descriptions
3. Task Queue
cat .aiwg/daemon/queue.json 2>/dev/null
Report: pending count, active count, completed (last hour)
4. Subsystem Health
| Subsystem | Check | Status |
|---|
| File watcher | .aiwg/daemon/watcher.pid | running/stopped |
| Scheduler | .aiwg/daemon/scheduler.pid | running/stopped |
| IPC socket | .aiwg/daemon/aiwg.sock | listening/down |
| Messaging | .aiwg/daemon/adapters/ | connected/disconnected |
5. Recent Activity
tail -5 .aiwg/daemon/activity.log 2>/dev/null
