Status Map Skill
Purpose
Generate ASCII-based visualizations for human observability of AI agent sessions. Complements Sentinel Protocol (JSON-based) by providing quick, scannable status information.
When to Use
- •Every response (PULSE template)
- •Every 5 responses (COMPACT template)
- •Session start/end
- •Before/after delegations
- •On errors
- •Before commits
Template Catalog
| Template | Purpose | Time |
|---|---|---|
| PULSE | 1-line minimal status | 1-2s |
| COMPACT | Quick 6-line check | 3-5s |
| SESSION_START | Initial state | 8-10s |
| SESSION_END | Handoff summary | 20-30s |
| DELEGATION_PRE | Pre-delegation context | 5-8s |
| DELEGATION_POST | Post-delegation result | 8-12s |
| ERROR_DEBUG | Error diagnosis | 15-20s |
| PRE_COMMIT | Commit validation | 8-10s |
| FULL_REPORT | Complete audit | 60-120s |

Semaphore Indicators
| Indicator | Meaning | Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 | OK / Healthy | [OK] |
| 🟡 | Warning | [WARN] |
| 🔴 | Error / Critical | [FAIL] |
Override Commands
| Command | Template |
|---|---|
/status | COMPACT |
/status full | FULL_REPORT |
/status debug | ERROR_DEBUG |
/status pre | PRE_COMMIT |
/status end | SESSION_END |
/status pulse | PULSE |
Template Inference
The AI automatically selects template based on context:
- •Session start? → SESSION_START
- •Error detected? → ERROR_DEBUG
- •About to delegate? → DELEGATION_PRE
- •Delegation returned? → DELEGATION_POST
- •About to commit? → PRE_COMMIT
- •Session ending? → SESSION_END
- •Every 5th response? → COMPACT
- •Default → PULSE
