# 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

```bash

# 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

```bash

# Check active agent sessions

ls .aiwg/daemon/sessions/ 2>/dev/null

```

Report: count, age, task descriptions

### 3. Task Queue

```bash

# 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

```bash

# Last 5 completed tasks

tail -5 .aiwg/daemon/activity.log 2>/dev/null

```

## Output Format

```
