long-running-job-inspector

name	long-running-job-inspector
description	Inspect, summarize, cancel, retry, or recover Prometheus background tasks, scheduled jobs, process runs, approvals, and stalled executions. Use when the user asks what is running or needs help with a specific active, stalled, or failed job.

Long-Running Job Inspector

Use this skill when Prometheus needs to understand or manage ongoing work.

Current State

Status: mostly usable from existing APIs/tools; needs one unified inspector tool for 110%.

Current support:

• Background tasks: /api/bg-tasks, /api/bg-tasks/:id
• Evidence: /api/bg-tasks/:id/evidence
• Task stream: /api/bg-tasks/:id/stream
• Task pause/resume/restart/message routes exist.
• Processes: /api/processes, /api/processes/:runId, /api/processes/:runId/log, kill/rerun/write/submit.
• Scheduled jobs: /api/tasks, schedule tool family.
• Task statuses include running, stalled, needs_assistance, awaiting_user_input, complete, failed.
• Process tools: process_status, process_log, process_wait, process_kill, process_submit.

Procedure

1. List running/stalled/needs-assistance tasks.
2. Load the task and evidence bus.
3. Inspect latest journal entries, last tool call, pause reason, and runtime progress.
4. If process-bound, inspect process list and logs.
5. If approval-bound, inspect pending approval state.
6. Recommend one action: wait, nudge/message, resume, retry, cancel/kill, or ask user.

Gap To Implement

Add job_inspector as a single read-only summary tool with optional explicit follow-up actions.
