Sf Loop Pruner

Recurring health watch for deployed bots. One invocation = one pass. Flags decaying / dead bots, can auto-pause them, persists a log so consecutive runs don't double-fire. Pair with the /loop skill for an always-on roster cleaner. Use when the user asks "watch my bots for edge decay automatically / auto-pause dying bots / kill dead edges on a loop / monitor roster health".

File contents

sf-loop-pruner

The "always-on roster cleaner". Companion to sf-loop-hunter — where the hunter looks outward for fresh edges, the pruner looks inward at your deployed bots and pulls the dying ones.

State lives at ~/.claude/skills/sf-skills/pruner-state.json so a bot that's been auto-paused once doesn't keep getting flagged on every loop.

Wrap with the /loop skill for continuous operation:

/loop 30m python SF-Skills/sf-loop-pruner/pruner.py --apply --include dead

What each run does

Pull all ACTIVE bots.
For each, fetch the underlying strategy and run the edge-decay heuristic from sf-edge-watch / sf_client.edge_health.
Drop any bot already auto-paused in a prior run (from state file).
Report decaying / dead bots. With --apply, PATCH them to PAUSED and record the action in state.

When to use

"Auto-pause dying bots on a 30-minute loop"
"Run a roster health check in the background during the stream"
"Keep the bot list pruned without me babysitting"

How to run

# Dry-run, default thresholds (decaying + dead)
python sf-loop-pruner/pruner.py

# Auto-pause anything DEAD only (most conservative)
python sf-loop-pruner/pruner.py --include dead --apply

# Auto-pause decaying + dead
python sf-loop-pruner/pruner.py --include decaying,dead --apply

Safety

--apply respects the 10-second per-bot PATCH cooldown.
State file means a bot is only auto-paused once per loop history. To re-arm, delete the state file or remove that bot's entry.
Without --apply, the script is read-only and safe to schedule arbitrarily.
This loop never creates bots; pair with sf-rebalance or sf-deploy to actually replace what's been pruned.
