name: pipeline-monitoring description: Monitor pipeline agent health, task update buffers, and live agent state. Use when checking agent health, investigating task progress, querying pipeline agents for diagnostic state, or reviewing historical health trends. Covers query_agent_health, query_health_history, query_buffer, and query_pipeline_state skills.

Pipeline Monitoring

Observe pipeline agent health and task execution progress across the system.

Capabilities

• Query agent health metrics from hot cache or live monitor
• Query historical health trends via Archivalist
• Read per-task update buffers (hot circular buffer with SQLite cold fallback)
• Send live diagnostic queries to pipeline agents

Decision framework

Health degradation

1. Query agent health via query_agent_health
2. Broadcast a warning via broadcast_status
3. If persistent, escalate to architect via escalate_to_architect

Task investigation

1. Query the task update buffer via query_buffer for incremental progress
2. If buffer is empty, query the pipeline agent directly via query_pipeline_state
3. Cross-reference with query_task for the orchestrator's task record

Historical analysis

1. Query health history via query_health_history for trends
2. Query Archivalist for failure patterns via archivalist_request
