daemon-status

/asciinema-tools:daemon-status

Check comprehensive asciinema status including daemon, running processes, and unhandled .cast files.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
jq not found	jq not installed	brew install jq
No health.json	Daemon not running	Run /asciinema-tools:daemon-start
GitHub PAT not found	Keychain credential missing	Run /asciinema-tools:daemon-setup
Many unhandled files	Orphan branch not initialized	Run /asciinema-tools:finalize
Status hangs	Large find operation	Use --processes-only for quick check

Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

1. Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
2. Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
3. Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
