SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the silent failure mode of autonomous agent watchdogs, where a stalled watchdog leaves dead sessions unrecovered without triggering any alerts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Layer Audit: Verifies the watchdog's liveness (n² layer) and the meta-watchdog's scheduling (n³ layer) using objective artifacts like registry timestamps and task exit codes.
  • Root Cause Diagnosis: Identifies specific infrastructure failures, such as Interactive logon type restrictions on headless systems, distinguishing them from logic errors.
  • Use Case: Use this after a system reboot or when Claude sessions appear stuck to determine if the resume watchdog is actively reviving instances or has silently stalled.

Quick Start

Run the resume-watchdog-audit skill to perform a read-only health check of the fleet registry and task scheduler status.

FAQPage Schema
Why does my Windows Task Scheduler exit code indicate an Interactive logon type restriction on headless systems?

Task scheduler exit codes on headless Windows systems often point to Interactive logon type restrictions, which block autonomous watchdogs from executing. The audit distinguishes these specific infrastructure failures from logic errors by analyzing objective artifacts like registry timestamps and task exit codes.

How do I audit autonomous agent health on Windows when Claude sessions appear stuck after a reboot?

To audit autonomous agent health after a reboot, run a read-only health check of the fleet registry ledger and task scheduler status. This verifies if the resume watchdog is actively reviving instances or has silently stalled without triggering alerts.

What is the best way to verify if a resume watchdog is actively running or has silently stalled?

The best way to verify resume watchdog liveness is a multi-layer audit checking the n² layer watchdog and n³ layer meta-watchdog scheduling. This uses objective artifacts like registry ledger timestamps, task scheduler exit codes, and transcript activity to confirm operational status.

Can I use PowerShell to monitor task scheduler exit codes and registry timestamps for autonomous agents?

Yes, you can use PowerShell to query system task states and verify the integrity of the resume-watchdog-audit lifecycle. It requires PowerShell access to read registry ledger timestamps and analyze task scheduler exit codes in headless Windows environments.

Why does my autonomous agent watchdog fail silently without triggering alerts on Windows?

Autonomous agent watchdogs fail silently on Windows when scheduled tasks stall due to logon type restrictions or process deadlocks. This leaves dead sessions unrecovered without alerts, which the audit diagnoses by checking registry timestamps and transcript activity.

Do I need a meta-watchdog to monitor the scheduling of a primary autonomous agent watchdog?

Yes, a meta-watchdog monitors the primary watchdog's scheduling at the n³ layer. The audit verifies both the watchdog's liveness at the n² layer and the meta-watchdog's scheduling to ensure complete recovery of dead sessions.
