ak watch status

ak watch status

Show current watch state (all repos, or a specific one)

Synopsis

What it does: Report each watched repository: whether its watcher is active, when it last polled, how many issues it has responded to, and the rate-limit budget. Pass owner/repo to scope to one.

Who it's for: Both: scripts checking whether a watcher is alive (--json) and users auditing background watchers.

When to use it: After ak watch start --daemon to confirm a watcher is running, or to inspect responded counts.

Examples: ak watch status ak watch status owner/repo ak watch status --json

What changes on disk: Read-only. Reads ~/.agentkit/watch/<repo-slug>/state.json (AGENTKIT_HOME overrides the base dir). Unreadable or corrupt state files are skipped in the all-repos listing.

Output modes: pretty default on TTY (colors, ASCII markers) plain auto when stdout piped or --no-interactive json --json (single-object envelope, NDJSON-safe)

Exit codes: 0 success 1 runtime error 2 invalid flags 3 user-cancel (SIGINT, prompt-cancel)
