FAQPage Schema
How do I get a compact Hermit session summary for Discord or Telegram?

To get a compact Hermit session summary for Discord or Telegram, you can request a channel-friendly status update. It reads session data from the .claude-code-hermit directory and formats a brief view of plan, progress, blockers, and cost for quick chat consumption.

What is included in a channel-ready session status update?

A channel-ready session status update includes a brief view of the current plan, progress, and blockers. It provides a concise snapshot of the Hermit session state optimized for messaging platforms, along with session cost details.

Can I view infrastructure health details like proposals and routines in my session status?

Yes, you can view infrastructure health details in your session status by invoking the command with the --full option. This appends additional data including proposals, routines, last activity, and knowledge to the standard compact summary.

How do I trigger a session status check in a real-time conversation?

You trigger a session status check by sending a status-oriented query such as "status" or "how's it going" to the session interface. This activates the command, returning a brief progress and context update suitable for real-time chat alignment.

Do I need any external dependencies to generate a Hermit session status message?

No external dependencies are required to generate a Hermit session status message. The tool operates independently by directly reading session data from the local .claude-code-hermit directory to format the output.

When should I use a compact session snapshot instead of a full health view?

Use a compact session snapshot during active work in chat contexts to keep teams aligned with quick decisions. Switch to the full health view when you need deeper infrastructure details like proposals and routines for debugging or auditing.
