daemon-status

/asciinema-tools:daemon-status

Check comprehensive asciinema status including daemon, running processes, and unhandled .cast files.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

## Troubleshooting

| Issue                | Cause                         | Solution                               |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| jq not found         | jq not installed              | `brew install jq`                      |
| No health.json       | Daemon not running            | Run `/asciinema-tools:daemon-start`    |
| GitHub PAT not found | Keychain credential missing   | Run `/asciinema-tools:daemon-setup`    |
| Many unhandled files | Orphan branch not initialized | Run `/asciinema-tools:finalize`        |
| Status hangs         | Large find operation          | Use `--processes-only` for quick check |

## Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

1. **Did the command succeed?** — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
2. **Did parameters or output change?** — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
3. **Was a workaround needed?** — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
