Clawd Presence

Terminal-based presence display for AI agents.

Why

Chat has latency. A presence display inverts this - the agent broadcasts state continuously, you glance at it like a clock.

Setup


# Configure (auto-detect from clawdbot or manual)
python3 scripts/configure.py --auto

# or
python3 scripts/configure.py --letter A --name "AGENT"

# Run display in dedicated terminal
python3 scripts/display.py

Update Status

Call from your agent whenever starting a task:

python3 scripts/status.py work "Building feature"
python3 scripts/status.py think "Analyzing data"
python3 scripts/status.py idle "Ready"
python3 scripts/status.py alert "Need attention"
python3 scripts/status.py sleep

States

State Color Use
idle Cyan Waiting
work Green Executing
think Yellow Processing
alert Red Needs human
sleep Blue Low power

Auto-Idle

Returns to idle after 5 minutes of no updates. Prevents stale states.

python3 scripts/configure.py --timeout 300  # seconds, 0 to disable
