# /observe

Agents Observe dashboard and server management.

## Usage

- `/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` — Show recent Docker container logs
- `/observe debug` — Diagnose server issues (health, docker logs, mcp.log, cli.log)

## Instructions

The subcommand is in `$ARGUMENTS`. If empty, default to showing the dashboard URL.

### /observe (no args)

1. Run:
   ```bash
   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/observe_cli.mjs health
   ```
2. If exit code 0: show the dashboard URL from the output.
3. If exit code 1: tell the user the server is not running and suggest `/observe start` or `/observe status`.

### /observe status

1. Run:
   ```bash
   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/observe_cli.mjs health
   ```
2. Show the full output to the user (includes version, runtime, ports, log paths).
3. If the output contains "Version mismatch", tell the user and offer `/observe restart`.
4. If exit code 1, show the output and suggest `/observe start`.

### /observe start

1. Run:
   ```bash
   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/observe_cli.mjs start
   ```
2. Show the output to the user. If successful, include the dashboard URL.

### /observe stop

1. Run:
   ```bash
   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/observe_cli.mjs stop
   ```
2. Confirm to the user that the server has been stopped.

### /observe restart

1. Run:
   ```bash
   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/observe_cli.mjs restart
   ```
2. Show the output to the user. If successful, include the dashboard URL.

### /observe logs

1. Run:
   ```bash
   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/observe_cli.mjs logs -n 50
   ```
2. Show the output to the user. Do NOT use `-f` (follow) — it would hang.

### /observe debug

Run these checks in sequence. Read each output before running the next — use what you learn to diagnose the issue.

1. **Server health:**
   ```bash
   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/observe_cli.mjs health
   ```

2. **Docker container logs (last 20 lines):**
   ```bash
   node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/scripts/observe_cli.mjs logs -n 20
   ```

3. **MCP log (last 20 lines).** The path depends on where the plugin stores data. Check these locations:
   ```bash
   tail -n 20 ~/.claude/plugins/data/agents-observe/logs/mcp.log 2>/dev/null || \
   tail -n 20 ~/.claude/plugins/data/agents-observe-inline/logs/mcp.log 2>/dev/null || \
   tail -n 20 ~/.agents-observe/logs/mcp.log 2>/dev/null || \
   echo "mcp.log not found"
   ```

4. **CLI log (last 20 lines):**
   ```bash
   tail -n 20 ~/.claude/plugins/data/agents-observe/logs/cli.log 2>/dev/null || \
   tail -n 20 ~/.claude/plugins/data/agents-observe-inline/logs/cli.log 2>/dev/null || \
   tail -n 20 ~/.agents-observe/logs/cli.log 2>/dev/null || \
   echo "cli.log not found"
   ```

5. **Analyze the results** and tell the user:
   - Is the server running? What version?
   - Are there errors in the docker logs? (look for crash loops, port conflicts, DB errors)
   - Are there errors in mcp.log? (look for startServer failures, image pull errors)
   - Are there errors in cli.log? (look for ECONNREFUSED, hook delivery failures)
   - Suggest specific fixes based on what you find.
