What it does

Live Watch is an agent skill from hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor. Polls the Agent Monitor /api/stats endpoint several times over a short window and reports the live deltas in activesessions, activeagents, eventstoday, and wsconnections so you can see activity moving in real time. Use when watching the dashboard for live changes rather than a one-time snapshot.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: 🚀 A real-time monitoring dashboard for Claude Code & Codex, built with SQLite3, Node.js, Express, React, Vite, TailwindCSS, & WebSockets. It tracks sessions, agent activity… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Watching the dashboard for live changes rather than a one-time snapshot

Example prompts

  • “Use the live-watch skill to poll the Agent Monitor /api/stats endpoint several times over a short window and reports the live deltas in…”
  • “/live-watch”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Watch Window
  2. Sample Timeline
  3. Deltas
  4. Verdict

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a06db03. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Live Watch loads about 609 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 296 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~609

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Polls the Agent Monitor /api/stats endpoint several times over a short window and reports the live deltas in active_sessions, active_agents, events_today, and ws_connections so you can see activity moving in real time. Use when watching the dashboard for live changes rather than a one-time snapshot.

Live Watch

Watch the dashboard's live counters change over a short window by polling /api/stats a few times and reporting the deltas.

Input

The user provides: $ARGUMENTS

Interpreted as the watch shape: number of polls and/or interval (e.g. 5x3s = 5 samples 3 seconds apart). Defaults when empty: 5 samples, ~3 seconds apart (a ~15-second window). A bare number means that many samples at the default interval; a bare duration means the default sample count at that interval.

Data Sources

EndpointReturns
GET /api/stats (polled){ total_sessions, active_sessions, active_agents, total_agents, total_events, events_today, ws_connections, agents_by_status, sessions_by_status }

Method

Poll GET /api/stats once per interval for the configured number of samples, recording the timestamp and the four watched counters each time. Pace the polls with a short wait between requests; keep the total window short (seconds, not minutes) so it stays interactive.

If the very first poll fails to connect, the dashboard is down — stop and tell the user to start it with npm start (or npm run dev) from the repo root, then retry.

Report Sections

1. Watch Window

State the sample count, interval, and total elapsed window.

2. Sample Timeline

A Markdown table — one row per poll — with columns: #, time, active_sessions, active_agents, events_today, ws_connections.

3. Deltas

For each of the four watched counters, report the net change from the first to the last sample using ▲ (increase), ▼ (decrease), or = (no change). Note any mid-window spikes or dips visible in the timeline.

4. Verdict

One line: is the dashboard actively receiving traffic (counters moving) or idle (flat) over the window?

Output

  • Compact Markdown. The timeline table is the centerpiece.
  • Cite real values from each poll — never interpolate or invent samples.
  • Deltas use ▲/▼/= with the signed numeric change, e.g. events_today: ▲ +7.
  • Keep it scannable in a terminal — no padding beyond the table.
