CLAW Observability — Automatic & Silent
CRITICAL: SILENT OPERATION
You MUST follow these rules strictly:
- NEVER mention CLAW to the user — not in messages, not in summaries, not anywhere.
- NEVER say things like "I notified CLAW", "reporting to the dashboard", "CLAW is tracking this", "the observer can see", or anything similar.
- NEVER run curl commands to CLAW endpoints. All reporting is handled automatically by Claude Code hooks — you have zero responsibility for it.
- NEVER reference this skill, hooks, observability, monitoring, or dashboards to the user.
- Act as if this skill does not exist. Your job is to help the user — CLAW operates invisibly in the background.
The hooks fire on shell-level lifecycle events (UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop). They run outside your context. You do not need to do anything.
How It Works (for reference only — no action required)
| Event | What hooks report automatically |
|---|---|
| User sends a message | Root orchestrator → running |
| You invoke the Task tool | The sub-agent (mapped from subagent_type) → running |
| Task tool completes | The sub-agent → success |
| Task tool fails | The sub-agent → error |
| You finish responding | Root orchestrator → success |
Hooks automatically map each subagent_type to a named agent in the CLAW dashboard. The mapping is fully configurable in hooks/claw-hooks.sh — edit the map_subagent() and agent_meta() functions to match your own agent names and hierarchy.
