overcast-situation-room

overcast-situation-room is a skill for Claude Code from kdr/overcast. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,074 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for setting up and controlling a live monitoring page for a case. The page can show source feeds, scan results, location data, and refreshed webcam or browser images in separate panels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose monitoring sources, seed a case, and control the page's panels, refresh interval, and filters while it is running.
Why use it?
It gives an operator one changing view of a case instead of requiring them to check many sources separately. The agent can adjust the running page without opening the network listener itself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

overcast-situation-room scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 93 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

overcast-situation-room

Use this skill to "monitor the situation": put a live, self-updating multi-panel page over a case — wall tiles, a reverse-chron scan/monitor feed, a live GPS map, and refreshing webcam/browser stills — so an operator watches the case evolve in real time. Use the broad overcast skill and overcast/reference/verbs.md for exact flags.

Hard rule — opening the listener is an OPERATOR action. The agent NEVER runs overcast situation / serve — starting a network listener is an operator act (invariant #10). A human runs overcast situation in its own terminal pane, or /situation on in the TUI (in-process, bound to the session). The agent only drives a page that is ALREADY running, via situation status | set | stop.

Workflow

  1. Pick and verify the sources the page will show. Panels are auto-picked from the configured sources, so decide what should be live first — GPS-bearing feeds (dispatch, flights, firms, overpass) feed the map; webcam/browser feed the stills panel; anything scanned/monitored feeds the feed + wall:
overcast doctor --sources --json          # which source creds resolve
overcast case init --json
overcast source list --json               # what's registered/enabled for this case
overcast source add "dispatch:sf" --json  # (example) add a rolling real-time feed
  1. Seed the monitors so fresh records land on the page. Either run a standing monitor loop yourself (its own pane), or let the serving process own the cadence with --every at serve time — pick ONE, not both:
overcast monitor --once --json            # sanity pass: confirm sources resolve
overcast monitor --every 5m --limit 5 --json   # standing loop (own pane) — OR use situation --every below
  1. Operator step (not the agent): a human starts the page in its own pane. It BLOCKS on that process. --every makes the serving process own the monitor cadence too, so a separate loop isn't needed:
