agent-progress skillA
agent-progress is agent-read markdown (skill) from csinva/agent-progress: Run and track any long-running job with a progress bar in the Claude Code statusline - training runs, evals, sweeps, data pipelines, test suites, builds, migrations, downloads, simulations, backups. Use whenever the user asks for something slow to be started, in whatever words - "run training", "start the eval", "kick off the sweep", "retrain the model", "run the pipeline", "run this in the background" - and whenever they ask about one already going: "how long will this take", "how far along is .
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Progress bars for long-running jobs `agent-progress` puts a live bar in the user's statusline for any job that takes minutes to days. Your involvement is almost entirely **up front**: 1. Decide **how this particular job's progress can be observed**. 2. Give a rough estimate of how long it will take - on the command line, as `AGENT_PROGRESS_ETA=<duration>` in front of a plain command, or `--eta` for `agent-progress run`. A bar without one shows `?` for the time remaining. 3. Launch it. After that a background watcher does the work. It re-observes the job on a slow cadence, recomputes the total estimate from what it sees, and marks the job done or failed with the real exit code. **Do not poll the job yourself** — no loops, no repeated `ls`, no waiting. Check in only when you have a reason to. Use `agent-progress`. If that is not found, use `~/.local/bin/agent-progress` (the installer puts it there, and it works by full path whether or not that directory is on PATH); failing that, `python3` on the plugin's `scripts/agent_progress.py`. `agent-progress autotrack '<command>'` shows whether a given command would be caught automatically, and why. …
