SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? System monitoring output is usually full of jargon, severity codes, and raw tables that non-technical machine owners cannot interpret. This Skill reads the watchman journal and turns the most recent monitoring run into a clear, human-readable summary that explains what happened and whether anything needs attention. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plain-language last-run summary: Leads with when the last run happened and a one-line health verdict (healthy, needs a look, or urgent regression). - Jargon-free issue explanations: Expands regressed and high/critical findings into everyday language covering what the problem is, why it matters, and what to do about it. - Recent-run trend context: Summarizes whether things are improving, stable, or worsening across recent runs, including failed scheduled headless runs. - Use Case: A small business owner with a self-hosted server types /watchman status and receives a readable report explaining that a previously fixed SSH configuration issue has reappeared, why it matters, and that running watchman fix will address it. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the report-lastrun skill to explain what the watchman found the last time it checked this machine.

FAQPage Schema
How do I see what my server monitoring found in plain language?▼

Run the report-lastrun skill via /watchman status or the watchman status shell launcher. It reads the last monitoring run from the journal and explains the findings in everyday language, leading with a one-line health verdict.

How to explain Linux security scan results to non-technical users?▼

Use a reporting layer that translates findings into everyday terms: what the problem is, the real-world consequence, and the suggested fix. This skill converts regressed and high-severity journal findings into jargon-free explanations with a clear next step.

Does report-lastrun change anything on my system?▼

No, it is strictly read-only. It only reads the findings journal through the lib/wm dispatcher, makes no edits, runs no fixes, and sends no email. Applying fixes is done separately with watchman fix.

What is the difference between report-lastrun and report-status?▼

report-lastrun summarizes only the most recent run in plain language for a non-technical reader. report-status inventories the entire findings journal for an operator who wants the full technical picture.

What happens if no monitoring run has completed yet?▼

The report states plainly that the watchman has not completed a full monitoring pass and suggests running /watchman loop or watchman audit once. It stops after the overview since there is nothing to expand on.
