Clawd Presence
Terminal-based presence display for AI agents.
Why
Chat has latency. A presence display inverts this - the agent broadcasts state continuously, you glance at it like a clock.
Setup
python3 scripts/configure.py --auto
python3 scripts/configure.py --letter A --name "AGENT"
python3 scripts/display.py
Update Status
Call from your agent whenever starting a task:
python3 scripts/status.py work "Building feature"
python3 scripts/status.py think "Analyzing data"
python3 scripts/status.py idle "Ready"
python3 scripts/status.py alert "Need attention"
python3 scripts/status.py sleep
States
| State | Color | Use |
|---|
idle | Cyan | Waiting |
work | Green | Executing |
think | Yellow | Processing |
alert | Red | Needs human |
sleep | Blue | Low power |
Auto-Idle
Returns to idle after 5 minutes of no updates. Prevents stale states.
python3 scripts/configure.py --timeout 300
