# Monitors — Internal Skill Shim

This skill is invoked **only** by the orchestrator or cron jobs. Users should not invoke it directly. Full procedure is documented in `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/monitor-runtime.md` — read that file before executing any subcommand.

## Behavior

Read `references/monitor-runtime.md` and execute the requested subcommand per its procedure. The subcommand argument is in `$ARGS` (e.g., `spawn`, `check '{...}'`, `stop all`).

## Output

JSON per subcommand as documented in `references/monitor-runtime.md`. No deviation.

## Idempotency

Each subcommand's idempotency is documented in the reference.
