description	List live Claude Code sessions on this machine with pid, name, status, sid, cwd, and current tweet-length summary. Invoked only via /ccdebug:ccdebug.

/ccdebug:ccdebug

Print a one-row-per-session table summarizing every live Claude Code CLI session on this machine, by reading the ccwatch data layer under ~/.claude/.

When to invoke

Only when the user explicitly runs /ccdebug:ccdebug. Not proactive. Do not invoke from other tasks.

Output

A markdown table with these columns, in this order:

| pid | name | status | sid | cwd | tweet |

• pid -- filename stem of ~/.claude/sessions/<pid>.json.
• name -- name field from ~/.claude/state/launch/<pid>.json; - if missing.
• status -- status field from sessions/<pid>.json (idle / busy / waiting).
• sid -- last 8 chars of sessionId from sessions/<pid>.json.
• cwd -- basename of cwd from sessions/<pid>.json.
• tweet -- contents of ~/.claude/state/summaries/<sid>.txt if present and non-empty; else (no summary yet).

Sort rows by status: waiting first, then busy, then idle. Things needing attention go on top.

How to gather the data

1. ls ~/.claude/sessions/*.json to enumerate candidates.
2. For each file:
   • Parse the JSON. The pid is the filename stem.
   • Skip if entrypoint != "cli" (print-mode sdk-cli rows have status: null).
   • Run kill -0 <pid> (silently). Skip if it fails -- stale file from a SIGKILL'd process.
   • Record sessionId (camelCase in this file), status, cwd.
3. Read ~/.claude/state/launch/<pid>.json -- pull name. If the file is missing, use -.
4. For the tweet:
   • Read ~/.claude/state/summaries/<sessionId>.txt (use the camelCase sessionId from the sessions file, not snake_case).
   • If the file is absent or empty, use (no summary yet).
5. Render the table, sorted as above.

Use a small Python one-liner (python3 -c '...') for the JSON reads. ccwatch deliberately avoids a jq dependency.

Edge cases

• No live sessions: print No live Claude Code sessions. -- no table.
• ~/.claude/state/ missing: print one line: ccwatch state directory not found; hooks have not run yet. Do not error out.
• Missing launch/<pid>.json: use - in the name column, do not warn.
• Missing or empty summary: (no summary yet) in tweet column.

Don'ts

• Do not try to detect or summarize Agent-tool subagents. They are invisible by design (CLAUDE.md architecture invariant 5); only CLI subagents (claude -p, filtered out above as sdk-cli anyway) get pid files.
• Do not modify any file under ~/.claude/. This skill is read-only.
• Do not shell out to claude or invoke the harness.
• Do not read ~/.claude/tasks/ -- ccwatch no longer reads task shards (CLAUDE.md architecture invariant 1). The tweet comes only from summaries/.
