At a glance

A skill your agent uses when an Agent needs current ROS2 system status, mission state, active warnings, node availability, or recovery context.

  • An Agent needs current ROS2 system status
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder
  • Active warnings
  • Node availability

What it does

System State is an agent skill from terrense/ros2-multimodal-robot-collab. Use this skill when an Agent needs current ROS2 system status, mission state, active warnings, node availability, or recovery context.

Its SKILL.md is about 170 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `examples/query_state.json`, `schema.json` and `scripts/query_system_state.py`).

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • An Agent needs current ROS2 system status
  • Active warnings
  • Node availability
  • Recovery context

Example prompts

  • “/system-state”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 47f7fca. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

System State loads about 173 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 58 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~173

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

System State Skill

Call /system/query_state before recovery, retry, or user-facing status summaries.

Service:

  • Type: robot_collab_interfaces/srv/QuerySystemState
  • Name: /system/query_state

Planner rules:

  • Query state before retrying failed navigation or manipulation.
  • Include active warnings in HRI summaries.
  • If critical nodes are unavailable, stop dispatching new movement actions.
  • If an emergency gesture was observed, require an explicit arm_start resume command before new manipulation.
