/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.

| jq not found | jq not installed | brew install jq |
| No health.json | Daemon not running | Run /asciinema-tools:daemon-start |

| 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:
- Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
- Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
- 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.
