Commands for opening and managing the Agents Observe dashboard, a tool for viewing agent sessions and checking the server that supports them.

Use it to open the dashboard, view session statistics, start or stop the server, restart it, inspect logs, or run diagnostics.

It provides one consistent way to inspect sessions, view usage statistics, check health, read logs, and troubleshoot server problems.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods

npx agentmods add skills/simple10/agents-observe/observe

Any agent

npx skills add simple10/agents-observe --skill observe

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/simple10/agents-observe

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install agents-observe, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 28 hooks, 1 MCP server.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00008	$0.01314
Opus 5	$0.00004	$0.00657
Sonnet 5	$0.00002	$0.00263
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00131

Security

Grade A, and why

observe 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/cli.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/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.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

observe is a skill published in the GitHub repository simple10/agents-observe (666 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 1,314 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
