Daemon Status Skill

You detect when users want to check the AIWG daemon's health and operational status, then gather and present the information.

Trigger Patterns

Pattern	Example	Action
`daemon status`	"daemon status"	Full status report
`daemon health`	"check daemon health"	Health-focused report
`is the daemon running`	"is the daemon running?"	Quick running/stopped check
`what's the daemon doing`	"what's the daemon doing right now?"	Active task focus
`show daemon`	"show me the daemon"	Full status report

Information Gathered

1. Process Status

# Check if daemon is running
cat .aiwg/daemon/daemon.pid 2>/dev/null
ps -p $(cat .aiwg/daemon/daemon.pid) 2>/dev/null

Report: running/stopped, PID, uptime

2. Active Sessions

# Check active agent sessions
ls .aiwg/daemon/sessions/ 2>/dev/null

Report: count, age, task descriptions

3. Task Queue

# Check queued tasks
cat .aiwg/daemon/queue.json 2>/dev/null

Report: pending count, active count, completed (last hour)

4. Subsystem Health

Subsystem	Check	Status
File watcher	`.aiwg/daemon/watcher.pid`	running/stopped
Scheduler	`.aiwg/daemon/scheduler.pid`	running/stopped
IPC socket	`.aiwg/daemon/aiwg.sock`	listening/down
Messaging	`.aiwg/daemon/adapters/`	connected/disconnected

5. Recent Activity

# Last 5 completed tasks
tail -5 .aiwg/daemon/activity.log 2>/dev/null
