SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the lack of visibility into complex, multi-step agent workflows by providing a real-time, hierarchical view of dispatched tasks, helping operators identify wedged or stalled processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agent Tree Visualization: Renders a clear, hierarchical map of the driver, work steps, and nested fan-out agents.
  • Liveness Monitoring: Overlays real-time process status from the harness to detect silently dead or hung agents.
  • Stall Detection: Automatically flags nodes that have exceeded their defined age threshold, enabling proactive supervision.

Quick Start

Use the auto-watch skill to render the current agent tree for the active run by providing the run identifier to the monitoring script.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor distributed agent workflows for stalled or unresponsive nodes?

To monitor distributed agent workflows, this skill maps run-record structures against active task process data to visualize execution state and identify stalled or unresponsive nodes in real-time. It provides a hierarchical view of dispatched tasks to detect wedged processes.

What is the best way to visualize live agent execution trees and nested fan-outs?

Visualizing live agent execution trees is done by rendering a clear hierarchical map of the driver, work steps, and nested fan-out agents. This allows operators to supervise complex, multi-step agent workflows by overlaying real-time process status from the harness.

How does agent liveness monitoring detect silently dead or hung agents?

Agent liveness monitoring detects dead or hung agents by overlaying real-time process status from the harness onto the execution tree. It automatically flags nodes that have exceeded their defined age threshold, enabling proactive supervision of silently unresponsive tasks.

Do I need run-record and system task monitoring tools to supervise agent processes?

Yes, you need access to the run-record and system task monitoring tools to supervise agent processes. The skill requires these dependencies to reconcile process reality with the agent's internal state and accurately identify stalled nodes.

How do I render the current agent tree for an active run?

To render the current agent tree for an active run, provide the run identifier to the monitoring script. This initiates the visualization of the execution state and liveness of your distributed agent workflow.
