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
