## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Manual Status Updates

python scripts/send_status.py "Starting data fetch..." "progress" "step1"
python scripts/send_status.py "Processing complete" "success" "final"
python scripts/send_status.py "Error: Missing API key" "error" "auth"

### Automatic Periodic Monitoring (Every 5 seconds)

# Start monitoring a long-running task
python scripts/monitor_task.py start "My Long Task" "processing"

# Monitor will send "Still working..." updates every 5 seconds
# When task completes, report final status
python scripts/monitor_task.py stop "My Long Task" "success" "Completed successfully!"

### Status Types

progress: Ongoing work (shows 🔄 or ->)
success: Task complete (shows ✅ or OK)
error: Failed task (shows ❌ or !)
warning: Issue but continuing (shows ⚠️ or ?)

### Periodic Monitoring

The monitor_task.py script provides automatic updates:

### Starting Monitor

python scripts/monitor_task.py start "<task_name>" "<status_type>" [--interval <seconds>]

Automatically sends "Still working..." updates every 5 seconds
Runs in background until stopped
Can be customized with different intervals

### Stopping Monitor

python scripts/monitor_task.py stop "<task_name>" "<final_status>" "<final_message>"

### Example: Long File Processing

# Start monitoring
python scripts/monitor_task.py start "video_processing" "progress"

# ... long processing happens here ...

# Stop with final status
python scripts/monitor_task.py stop "video_processing" "success" "Processing complete!"

### Manual Updates (Quick Status)

For single status updates without monitoring:

python scripts/send_status.py "Still fetching data..." "progress" "fetch"
python scripts/send_status.py "Processing records: 250/1000" "progress" "process"
python scripts/send_status.py "Complete! 3 files ready" "success" "final"
python scripts/send_status.py "Error: Connection timeout" "error" "api"

### Use Manual Updates When:

Task is short (under 30 seconds)
You want control over when updates are sent
Task has discrete, meaningful milestones

### Use Periodic Monitoring When:

Task is long-running (over 1 minute)
You want consistent "heartbeat" updates every 5 seconds
Task has long periods of quiet work
You want to reassure user that work is ongoing

### Message Guidelines

Keep status messages under 140 characters. Examples:

Progress: "Still fetching data..." or "Processing records: 250/1000"
Success: "Complete! 3 files ready" or "Task finished successfully"
Error: "Error: Connection timeout" or "Failed: Missing API key"
Warning: "Continuing despite timeout" or "Partial success: 5/10 files"

### With Additional Details

python scripts/send_status.py "Uploading..." "progress" "upload" --details "File: report.pdf (2.4MB)"

### Different Intervals

python scripts/monitor_task.py start "data_sync" "progress" --interval 10

### Importing for Python Scripts

from send_status import send_status

def long_task():
    send_status("Starting...", "progress", "step1")
    # ... work
    send_status("Step complete", "success", "step1")

### Automation with Clawdbot Cron

For scheduled tasks, use Clawdbot's cron feature:

# In a script or session
from cron import add

# Every 5 seconds, check status
job = {
    "text": "Check status update",
    "interval": "5s",
    "enabled": True
}
add(job)

This allows status updates even when you're not actively watching.

### Installation

To use this skill, copy the task-status folder into your Clawdbot skills directory:

C:\\Users\\Luffy\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\clawdbot\\skills\\task-status

Or add it to your workspace and reference it from AGENTS.md or TOOLS.md.

Once installed, the skill will be available for any task where you need periodic status updates.
