Terminal-based presence display for AI agents. Shows a customizable monogram, status state, and current activity on a dedicated screen. The agent broadcasts state continuously so you can glance at it rather than checking chat.
A persistent display that updates in real time is faster than scrolling chat history to find the agent's last message.
When to Use It
- Monitoring agent state while working in a separate window
- Getting a visual alert when an agent needs human attention
- Running multiple agents with distinct monogram identifiers
- Tracking what a background agent is doing without opening chat
- Setting up a dedicated screen for always-on agent visibility

# 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 ```bash # Configure (auto-detect from clawdbot or manual) python3 scripts/configure.py --auto # or python3 scripts/configure.py --letter A --name "AGENT" # Run display in dedicated terminal python3 scripts/display.py ``` ## Update Status Call from your agent whenever starting a task: ```bash 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. ```bash python3 scripts/configure.py --timeout 300 # seconds, 0 to disable ``` ## Files - `scripts/display.py` - Main display - `scripts/status.py` - Update status - `scripts/configure.py` - Settings - `assets/monograms/` - Letter designs A-Z
