/observe
Agents Observe dashboard and server management.
Usage
/observe view — Open the current session in the dashboard/observe stats — Open the current session's stats modal in the dashboard/observe — Open the dashboard URL/observe status — Show server health and config details/observe start — Start the server/observe stop — Stop the server/observe restart — Restart the server/observe logs-server — Show recent Docker container logs/observe logs-cli — Tail the local cli.log file/observe logs-mcp — Tail the local mcp.log file/observe debug — Diagnose server issues (health, docker logs, mcp.log, cli.log)
Instructions
All commands are invoked via the wrapper at scripts/cli.sh, which resolves the path to observe_cli.mjs relative to this skill's install location. Do not reach outside the skill dir with ../ paths — the agentskills spec disallows it and it breaks portability across agents.
The subcommand is in $ARGUMENTS. If empty, default to showing the dashboard URL.
/observe view
Opens the current session in the dashboard.
- Run health to get the dashboard origin:
scripts/cli.sh health
- From the output, take the
Dashboard: URL (e.g. http://localhost:4981). If exit code 1, the server isn't running — tell the user to run /observe start and stop here.
- Construct the session URL:
<dashboard>/#/_/${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} (the _ is the project placeholder; the dashboard resolves the real project from the session id).
- Open it in the user's default browser using the platform-appropriate command —
open <url> on macOS, xdg-open <url> on Linux, start <url> on Windows. Pick based on the Platform: line in your environment context.
- Also print the URL in your response so the user can re-open it if needed.
/observe stats
Opens the current session's stats modal in the dashboard, using a deep-link URL.
- Run health to get the dashboard origin:
scripts/cli.sh health
- From the output, take the
Dashboard: URL (e.g. http://localhost:4981). If exit code 1, the server isn't running — tell the user to run /observe start and stop here.
- Construct the deep link:
<dashboard>/#/_/${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}:session.stats
- Open it in the user's default browser using the platform-appropriate command —
open <url> on macOS, xdg-open <url> on Linux, start <url> on Windows. Pick based on the Platform: line in your environment context.
- Also print the URL in your response so the user can re-open it if needed.
/observe (no args)
- Run:
scripts/cli.sh health
- If exit code 0: show the dashboard URL from the output.
- If exit code 1: tell the user the server is not running and suggest
/observe start or /observe status.
/observe status
- Run:
scripts/cli.sh health
- Show the full output to the user (includes version, runtime, ports, log paths).
- If the output contains "Version mismatch", tell the user and offer
/observe restart.
- If exit code 1, show the output and suggest
/observe start.
/observe start
- Run:
scripts/cli.sh start
- Show the output to the user. If successful, include the dashboard URL.
/observe stop
- Run:
scripts/cli.sh stop
- Confirm to the user that the server has been stopped.
/observe restart
- Run:
scripts/cli.sh restart
- Show the output to the user. If successful, include the dashboard URL.
/observe logs-server
- Run:
scripts/cli.sh logs-server -n 50
- Show the output to the user. Do NOT use
-f (follow) — it would hang.
/observe logs-cli
- Run:
scripts/cli.sh logs-cli -n 50
- Show the output to the user.
/observe logs-mcp
- Run:
scripts/cli.sh logs-mcp -n 50
- Show the output to the user.
/observe debug
Run these checks in sequence. Read each output before running the next — use what you learn to diagnose the issue.
Server health:
scripts/cli.sh health
Docker container logs (last 20 lines):
scripts/cli.sh logs-server -n 20
MCP log (last 20 lines):
scripts/cli.sh logs-mcp -n 20
CLI log (last 20 lines):
scripts/cli.sh logs-cli -n 20
Analyze the results and tell the user:
- Is the server running? What version?
- Are there errors in the docker logs? (look for crash loops, port conflicts, DB errors)
- Are there errors in mcp.log? (look for startServer failures, image pull errors)
- Are there errors in cli.log? (look for ECONNREFUSED, hook delivery failures)
- Suggest specific fixes based on what you find.
