| 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 panel image --file <host-readable-path> --title <title> --split right

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