Live Status Skill

Use this tool to report real-time progress updates to Mattermost. It allows you to create a "Live Log" post that you update in-place, reducing chat spam.

Usage

1. Initialize (Start of Task)

Create a new status post. It will print the POST_ID. Required: Pass the CHANNEL_ID if known (otherwise it defaults to system channel).

live-status create <CHANNEL_ID> "🚀 **Task Started:** Initializing..."

Output: p6... (The Post ID)

2. Update (During Task)

Update the post with new log lines. Use a code block for logs.

live-status update <POST_ID> "🚀 **Task Started:** Initializing...
\`\`\`
[10:00] Checking files... OK
[10:01] Downloading assets...
\`\`\`"

3. Complete (End of Task)

Mark as done.

live-status update <POST_ID> "✅ **Task Complete.**
\`\`\`
[10:00] Checking files... OK
[10:01] Downloading assets... Done.
[10:05] Verifying... Success.
\`\`\`"

Protocol

Always capture the POST_ID from the create command.
Always append to the previous log (maintain history).
Use Code Blocks for technical logs.
