Terminal-based presence display for AI agents.
Why it matters
A persistent display that updates in real time is faster than scrolling chat history to find the agent's last message.
Typical use cases
- 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
# 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:
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 # seconds, 0 to disable
