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

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
