SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of not knowing what a Houmao-managed agent is doing right now (liveness, screen/TUI posture, mailbox state, logs, and runtime artifacts) when you need confidence without triggering side effects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read-only managed-agent inspection: Discover agents and inspect stable state, transport detail, and runtime artifacts without mutating lifecycle or mailbox contents.
  • TUI/screen posture verification: Recover the exact tmux session or pane target and capture what is visible when a managed agent is TUI-backed.
  • Mailbox, logs, and artifact evidence: Check mailbox posture (including live mailbox identity when needed), inspect durable turn logs, and list stable session artifacts like manifest-backed runtime files.
  • Correct routing to inspection lanes: Guides the operator to the right inspection workflow (discover, screen, mailbox, logs, artifacts) using Houmao-owned surfaces and guardrails.

Quick Start

Ask: houmao-agent-inspect discover agents to find and confirm the managed agent you want to inspect.

Frequently Asked Questions about houmao-agent-inspect

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I inspect a tmux-backed agent's screen posture without sending mailbox messages?

To inspect tmux screen posture without mutating state, recover agent identity via agents list, use state/detail for precise tmux targeting, and apply the read-only screen lane to capture visible TUI state.

What is the correct way to discover Houmao-managed agents for runtime artifact inspection?

Agent discovery requires an evidence ladder that first recovers identity via agents list/state, optionally checks gateway/status for precise targeting, then selects the read-only artifacts lane to list stable manifest-backed runtime files without altering lifecycle.

Can I check mailbox posture and durable turn logs for HTTP-controlled agents?

Yes, you can inspect mailbox posture and durable turn logs for paired HTTP control scenarios by routing through the read-only mailbox and logs inspection lanes after confirming agent liveness and identity via agents state.

Does agent orchestration inspection require mutating the agent lifecycle?

No, agent orchestration inspection is strictly read-only. It applies guardrails against guessing targets to verify liveness, TUI posture, mailbox state, logs, and runtime artifacts without mutating the agent lifecycle or sending mailbox messages.

What's the best way to verify agent liveness and TUI state in CLI-managed scenarios?

The best way to verify agent liveness and TUI state is to use the discovery and screen inspection lanes, which guide you to recover identity first and capture the exact tmux pane target without triggering side effects.

Why does agent inspection require an evidence ladder before targeting tmux sessions?

Agent inspection requires an evidence ladder because strict guardrails prevent guessing targets. You must first recover identity via agents list/state, then use state/detail and gateway/status to ensure precise, safe, read-only tmux targeting.
