Sub-Agent Overseer

Lightweight pull-based daemon that monitors sub-agent health. Writes a status file every N seconds. The heartbeat handler reads it โ€” no push, no noise.

Architecture

overseer.sh (bash, runs in background) โ”œโ”€โ”€ /proc/<pid> โ†’ gateway alive? CPU? threads? โ”œโ”€โ”€ openclaw sessions list โ†’ sub-agent count + ages โ”œโ”€โ”€ find -newer marker โ†’ filesystem activity โ””โ”€โ”€ writes /tmp/overseer/status.json (atomic mv) heartbeat (agent, every 3min) โ””โ”€โ”€ reads /tmp/overseer/status.json โ†’ summarize or HEARTBEAT_OK Key principle: The overseer does all data collection. The heartbeat handler does zero tool calls if the status file is fresh and healthy.

1. Start the overseer when spawning sub-agents

setsid scripts/overseer.sh \ --workdir /path/to/repo \ --interval 180 \ --max-stale 4 \ --voice \ &>/dev/null &

2. Heartbeat reads the status file

cat /tmp/overseer/status.json

3. Interpret the status

FieldMeaningsubagents.countActive sub-agent sessionssubagents.details[].staleConsecutive cycles with no filesystem changessubagents.details[].statusactive / idle / warning / stuckgateway.health.aliveIs openclaw-gateway running?filesystem.changes_since_lastFiles modified since last check

4. Staleness thresholds (at 180s interval)

stale countTimeStatusAction0-10-3 minactive/idleNormal2-36-9 minwarningVoice alert (if --voice)โ‰ฅ4โ‰ฅ12 minstuckAgent should investigate/kill

Heartbeat Handler Protocol

When HEARTBEAT.md fires: Read /tmp/overseer/status.json โ€” if missing or stale (>10 min), restart overseer If subagents.count == 0 for 2+ cycles โ†’ overseer auto-exits โ†’ reply HEARTBEAT_OK If all agents active โ†’ brief one-line status โ†’ HEARTBEAT_OK If any stuck โ†’ report which labels are stuck โ†’ consider killing via subagents kill Never cache a previous heartbeat response. Always read the status file fresh.

Flags

How It Works (No AI Tokens)

Gateway health: Reads /proc/<pid>/status for CPU, memory, threads, FD count. Pure kernel data. Sub-agent list: Single openclaw sessions list call per cycle. Parses grep output. Filesystem diff: find -newer marker โ€” detects any file writes in the workdir. Status file: JSON written atomically (write to temp, mv into place). Any reader sees a complete file. Self-exit: If no sub-agents for 2 consecutive cycles, the overseer stops itself. Dedup: flock ensures only one overseer instance runs at a time.

Cost

Overseer: $0.00 (bash + /proc + one CLI call per cycle) Voice alerts: $0.00 (local sherpa-onnx via jarvis) Heartbeat reads status file: $0.00 (one cat command) Only cost is the heartbeat model itself (qwen3 local = free)

Pairs Well With

agent-superpowers โ€” the three-agent review pipeline that Overseer was built to monitor smart-model-router โ€” auto-select models for each sub-agent role ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://github.com/globalcaos/tinkerclaw Clone it. Fork it. Break it. Make it yours.
