Habit Watch: Observation Control

Watch is always active by default. This skill lets you check status, pause, or resume. Capture control is deliberately static: watch has no learnings overlay, by design.

Preload

!bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/habit-tools.sh skill-preload watch ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}

Run this Setup block once and reuse the values below:

HABIT_SID_FILE=$(ls -t "$HOME/.claude/habits/sessions.d/"* 2>/dev/null | head -1)
source "${HABIT_SID_FILE:-$HOME/.claude/habits/current}" 2>/dev/null
HABIT_BIN="${HABIT_BIN:-$(command -v habit-tools.sh || echo "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:+$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/bin/habit-tools.sh}")}"
[ -f "${HABIT_BIN:-}" ] || echo "HABIT_UNAVAILABLE: habit is not wired on this host."

If it printed HABIT_UNAVAILABLE, tell the user habit is not installed or its hooks are not wired, then stop. Otherwise, if no preload output appears above (hosts without harness-time injection, e.g. Cursor), run bash "$HABIT_BIN" skill-preload watch "$HABIT_SID" once.

The output has a ===TRIGGERS=== section: show the message only if non-empty.

Resolve state

Run these and use the outputs (ACTIVE or PAUSED, then the count):

bash "$HABIT_BIN" watch status "$HABIT_SID"
bash "$HABIT_BIN" read-prompt-count "$HABIT_SID"

Routing

Message empty, "status", or "resume" go to Status/Resume.
Message intends deactivation (off, stop, disable, pause, turn off) go to Pause.
Otherwise go to Status/Resume.

Status/Resume

If ACTIVE: count 0 says "Watch is active. No prompts captured yet this session.", else "Watch is active. {count} prompts captured this session." Include the triggers message if non-empty. Stop.
Resume: bash "$HABIT_BIN" watch start "$HABIT_SID"
Confirm: "Watch resumed."

Pause

If PAUSED: "Watch is already paused." Stop.
Pause: bash "$HABIT_BIN" watch stop "$HABIT_SID"
If count > 0, suggest running the distill habit to process this session.
Confirm: "Watch paused. Run the watch habit to resume."
