How do I track sub-agent activity and background task progress in real-time?

To track sub-agent activity, you can use a monitoring Skill that appends real-time status updates to message footers and sends start or completion notifications for background tasks. This provides continuous visibility into active workflows.

What is the best way to get notified when a long-running background task finishes?

Getting notified when a background task finishes requires a monitoring tool that provides automatic completion announcements. It alerts you the moment a sub-agent finishes its work, preventing the need to manually check progress.
