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

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.

Evolution Log

Convention: Reverse chronological order (newest on top, oldest at bottom). Prepend new entries.

2026-02-26: Initial Evolution Log

Status: Skill is in use and maintained. Track improvements here.

Purpose

This evolution log tracks updates to the daemon-status skill. Each entry should note:

• What changed (content, structure, tooling)
• Why it changed (bug fix, feature request, best practice)
• Files affected

How to Use

1. When updating SKILL.md or references, add an entry here with the date 2. Keep entries reverse-chronological (newest first) 3. Link to ADRs or GitHub issues when relevant 4. Reference specific line changes when helpful
