What it does

Pdca Watch is an agent skill from ww-w-ai/bkit-claude-code. Live PDCA dashboard ticking every 30s — reads pdca-status.json + token-ledger.ndjson tail, renders fixed-width panel via CC /loop. Triggers: pdca watch, live dashboard, watch progress

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: bkit Vibecoding Kit - PDCA methodology + Claude Code mastery for AI-native development. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/pdca-watch”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob

Workflow steps

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

  1. If is provided, use it verbatim.
  2. Else read .bkit/state/pdca-status.json → primaryFeature, then
  3. If still no feature → render `"No active PDCA feature. Start one

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 85b4913. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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

Pdca Watch loads about 904 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 278 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~904

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.

PDCA Watch — Live Tick Dashboard

v2.1.11 Sprint β FR-β4. Wraps lib/dashboard/watch.js over CC's /loop (v2.1.71+). Read-only — only consumes state files; never writes. Falls back to a single render when /loop is unsupported (E-β4-01).

Arguments

ArgumentDescriptionExample
(none)Auto-resolve active feature from pdca-status.primaryFeature/pdca-watch
<feature>Watch a specific feature by name/pdca-watch bkit-v2111-integrated-enhancement

Behavior

Resolution
  1. If <feature> is provided, use it verbatim.
  2. Else read .bkit/state/pdca-status.json → primaryFeature, then activeFeatures[0] as fallback.
  3. If still no feature → render "No active PDCA feature. Start one with /pdca pm <feature>" and exit.
Tick (every 30s via /loop)

For each tick, lib/dashboard/watch.js#renderTick produces a panel with:

Watch  <feature> — tick N (HH:MM:SS)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Phase: <phase>     Match: <%>    Iter: <n / 5>
Tokens: <in> in / <out> out · samples <N>
Est cost: $<USD>
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Data sources:

  • Phase / matchRate / iterationCount: pdca-status.features[<feature>]
  • Token totals: last 50 lines of token-ledger.ndjson
  • Cost: Sonnet-class flat estimate ($3/Mtok in, $15/Mtok out)
Termination
  • Ctrl-C from user
  • Feature phase === 'completed' or phase === 'archived'
  • After max 60 ticks (≈30 min) — caller restarts if more time needed

CC /loop Support

CC VersionBehavior
≥ 2.1.71Native /loop 30s ticker
< 2.1.71E-β4-01: single render + warning, no loop
UnknownSame as < 2.1.71 (fail-safe)

The check is performed via watch.checkLoopSupport({ ccVersion }) — caller passes the resolved CC version from lib/infra/cc-version-checker.

Security

  • Pure read on .bkit/state/pdca-status.json and .bkit/runtime/token-ledger.ndjson.
  • Tail bounded to MAX_TAIL_LINES = 200 regardless of caller input — defends against pathological NDJSON growth.
  • No subprocess spawning, no network.
  • PII redaction on the ledger is owned by the writer (Token Accountant); watch only reads what's already redacted.

Module Dependencies

ModuleFunctionUsage
lib/dashboard/watch.jsresolveFeature()Auto-detect when no arg
lib/dashboard/watch.jsrenderTick()One frame per tick
lib/dashboard/watch.jstailLedger()NDJSON tail (≤200)
lib/dashboard/watch.jscheckLoopSupport()CC version gate

Examples

bash
# Auto-detect active feature
/pdca-watch

# Watch a specific feature
/pdca-watch bkit-v2111-integrated-enhancement
  • /pdca status — single snapshot (no loop)
  • /control trust — trust score informs auto-escalation
  • /pdca-fast-track — Daniel-mode auto-approve checkpoints
