System Monitor Skill
You can monitor every aspect of the system in real time.
Quick Health Check
system_health()
Returns CPU usage per core, memory (total/used/available), swap, disk usage per mount, load average, and uptime.
Process Monitoring
List processes by resource usage
system_query({ query: "processes", args: { sort: "cpu", limit: 20 } })
system_query({ query: "processes", args: { sort: "memory", limit: 20 } })
Investigate a specific process
system_query({ query: "processes", args: { name: "firefox" } })
Disk Usage
system_query({ query: "disk" })
Returns per-mount: filesystem type, total/used/available space, usage percentage.
Diagnosis Workflow
When the user reports a problem:
- Check health first —
system_health() for the overview
- Check memory — recall past similar issues:
memory_recall({ query: "similar problem description" })
- Drill into specifics — processes, disk, network as needed
- Correlate — "your disk is full because Docker images take 40GB"
- Store the diagnosis —
memory_store({ summary: "...", detail: "...", category: "diagnosis" })
Always diagnose before suggesting fixes. Explain what you found. Store diagnoses for future reference — next time the same issue occurs, you'll recall it instantly.
Thresholds
Flag these to the user proactively:
- CPU sustained >90% for >5 minutes
- Memory usage >85%
- Swap usage >50%
- Any disk mount >90% full
- Load average > 2x number of cores
