Watch Skill
Launch the Karkinos worker monitor TUI in a new terminal window.
Usage
/karkinos:watch
Instructions
When the user invokes /karkinos:watch, follow these steps:
1. Check if karkinos CLI is installed
which karkinos || echo "NOT_FOUND"
2. If installed, spawn the TUI
karkinos watch --spawn
This opens the TUI in a new Terminal window (macOS) or terminal emulator (Linux).
3. If not installed, provide instructions
Tell the user:
The karkinos CLI is not installed. Install it with:
uv tool install karkinos
Or if you have the source:
uv tool install /path/to/karkinos
Then run: karkinos watch --spawn
Notes
- The TUI must run in a separate terminal from Claude Code
- Use
--spawn to automatically open a new terminal:
- VS Code/Cursor: Splits the current terminal pane
- Terminal.app: Opens a new window
- Linux: Opens gnome-terminal, xterm, or konsole
- Use
--no-crabs to disable the animated crab header
- Use
--speed 0.2 for faster animation
