- User asks about progress, failures, or alerts
- User wants a quick overview of the orchestration run
Instructions
- Run
scripts/status.shto fetch the full dashboard data from the Bernstein API. - Parse the JSON output and present a clear summary:
Summary format
## Bernstein Status
**Agents:** {active_count} active | **Tasks:** {done}/{total} done | **Cost:** ${cost_usd}
### Active Agents
| Agent | Role | Model | Runtime | Task | Cost |
|-------|------|-------|---------|------|------|
| {id} | {role} | {model} | {runtime}m | {task_title} | ${cost} |
### Tasks
- {open} open, {claimed} claimed, {done} done, {failed} failed
