Category: Agent Observability & Monitoring

Quality Tier: 🟢 Production (all three security audits pass)
agent-pulse teaches the agent to use the installed agent-pulse CLI as the source of truth for local AI-agent activity. The PyPI package is agentpulse-cli while the command remains agent-pulse. The skill prefers running the CLI and summarizing its output over reading Agent Pulse source code, and handles platform quirks (emoji and box-drawing output requires UTF-8 mode on Windows). It was the fastest-rising new skill on the hot leaderboard during this sweep.
Installation¶
npx skills add jane-o-o-o-o/agent-pulse-skill --skill agent-pulse
CLI dependency:
pip install agentpulse-cli
On Windows, enable UTF-8 before running because Agent Pulse output contains emoji and box drawing:
$env:PYTHONUTF8='1'
$env:PYTHONIOENCODING='utf-8'
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Python + pip | For the agentpulse-cli package |
| Node.js + npx | For the skill installer |
| Local agent environment | Agent activity to monitor |
What It Provides¶
| Capability | Notes |
|---|---|
| Activity source of truth | agent-pulse CLI as the canonical view of local agent activity |
| Run summaries | Summarize agent runs from CLI output |
| Cross-platform support | Windows (with UTF-8 mode), macOS, Linux |
| Lightweight install | Single PyPI package |
Quick Start¶
pip install agentpulse-clinpx skills add jane-o-o-o-o/agent-pulse-skill --skill agent-pulse- Ask: "show me recent local agent activity and summarize what has been running"
CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Agent fleet visibility | Monitor local agent activity across the Spark and worker nodes |
| Cron run audits | Verify scheduled agent runs actually executed |
| Debugging aid | Correlate agent activity with reported outcomes during incident triage |
| Observability reference | CLI-first monitoring pattern for our own agent telemetry |
Integration with CorpusIQ¶
CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.
This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
Limitations / Verification¶
- Monitors local machine activity only - no remote fleet aggregation documented
- Output includes emoji/box drawing; pipe through UTF-8-aware terminals
