What it does

Remnic Status is an agent skill from joshuaswarren/remnic. Check the health of the Remnic daemon, stores, and connected clients. Trigger phrases include "is remnic running", "check memory status", "daemon health".

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Open-source memory and context for user-aware agents: scoped memory, provenance, retrieval quality, correction, boundaries, evals, and MCP/HTTP access. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases include is remnic running
  • Check memory status

Example prompts

  • “is remnic running”
  • “check memory status”
  • “daemon health”
  • “/remnic-status”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check the Remnic health endpoint via the MCP bridge or by running remnic daemon status in a shell.
  2. Report, in a compact block
  3. If the daemon is not running, suggest remnic daemon start. Mention the log path for deeper debugging.
  4. If recall/store tools were erroring earlier in the turn, correlate the health state with those errors in one sentence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 002ea68. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Remnic Status loads about 557 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 303 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~557

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
Check the health of the Remnic daemon, stores, and connected clients. Trigger phrases include "is remnic running", "check memory status", "daemon health".

When to use

Use when the user asks whether Remnic is running, when recall or store calls start failing, or when diagnosing cross-agent memory issues.

Triggers:

  • "Is Remnic running?"
  • "Check memory status."
  • "Is the daemon up?"
  • Recall/store tools returned connection errors in this turn.

Inputs

  • Optional: specific component to check (daemon, HTTP server, MCP server, store backend).

Procedure

  1. Check the Remnic health endpoint via the MCP bridge or by running remnic daemon status in a shell.
  2. Report, in a compact block:
    • Daemon running state (PID if known).
    • Listening port(s).
    • Memory store path.
    • Connected clients or plugins, if the health payload exposes them.
  3. If the daemon is not running, suggest remnic daemon start. Mention the log path for deeper debugging.
  4. If recall/store tools were erroring earlier in the turn, correlate the health state with those errors in one sentence.

Efficiency plan

  • One health call per turn is enough; do not poll.
  • Skip the check for trivially local tasks.
  • Reuse the health payload for downstream troubleshooting within the same turn.

Pitfalls and fixes

  • Pitfall: Running remnic daemon status on a host where the daemon lives in a container. Fix: Prefer the MCP health endpoint, or run the CLI inside the container.
  • Pitfall: Reporting "down" based on a single failed tool call. Fix: Confirm with the health endpoint before claiming an outage.
  • Pitfall: Forgetting the log path. Fix: Always include a pointer to logs when reporting a failure.

Verification checklist

  • Health was checked via the endpoint or CLI, not guessed.
  • Daemon state, port, store path, and clients were reported concisely.
  • If unhealthy, the user was given a concrete next step.
  • No legacy engram daemon wording was preferred over remnic daemon where the CLI has been renamed.

CLI names: canonical CLI is remnic daemon. The legacy engram daemon invocation remains accepted during v1.x.
