What this skill does

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

Source instructions

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

StateColorUse
idleCyanWaiting
workGreenExecuting
thinkYellowProcessing
alertRedNeeds human
sleepBlueLow 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
