Satellite Senses Monitor

Monitor the background services that extend the organism's sensory capabilities.

Service Inventory

Quick Status Check

Run these commands to check satellite health:

Copy# Check which launchd services are loaded
launchctl list | grep -E "claude|organelle" | grep -v "^-.*78"

# Check for running satellite processes
pgrep -fl "bluesky-watcher\|github-watcher\|location.*server\|memory-bridge" || echo "No satellite processes running"

# Check listening ports (location-receiver: 8081, memory-bridge: 8765)
lsof -i :8081 -i :8765 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN || echo "No satellites listening on ports"

# Check for pending sense events (should be empty if Samara is processing)
ls ~/.claude-mind/system/senses/*.event.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No pending events"

Service Status Details

Bluesky Watcher

Copy# Check launchd status
launchctl list com.claude.bluesky-watcher 2>/dev/null || echo "Not loaded"

# View recent logs
tail -20 ~/.claude-mind/system/logs/bluesky-watcher.log 2>/dev/null || echo "No log file"

# Check last run time
grep "Bluesky watcher complete" ~/.claude-mind/system/logs/bluesky-watcher.log | tail -1

GitHub Watcher

Copy# Check launchd status
launchctl list com.claude.github-watcher 2>/dev/null || echo "Not loaded"

# View recent logs
tail -20 ~/.claude-mind/system/logs/github-watcher.log 2>/dev/null || echo "No log file"

# Check last run time
grep "GitHub watcher complete" ~/.claude-mind/system/logs/github-watcher.log | tail -1

Location Receiver

Copy# Check if listening on port 8081
lsof -i :8081 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN && echo "Running" || echo "Not running"

# View recent logs
tail -20 ~/.claude-mind/system/logs/location-receiver.log 2>/dev/null || echo "No log file"

MCP Memory Bridge

Copy# Check if listening on port 8765
lsof -i :8765 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN && echo "Running" || echo "Not running"

# View recent logs
tail -20 ~/.claude-mind/system/logs/memory-bridge.log 2>/dev/null || echo "No log file"

Manual Trigger

Run a watcher immediately instead of waiting for the 15-minute launchd interval:

Run Bluesky Watcher Now

Copy/Users/claude/Developer/samara-main/services/bluesky-watcher/venv/bin/python \
  /Users/claude/Developer/samara-main/services/bluesky-watcher/server.py

Run GitHub Watcher Now

Copypython3 /Users/claude/Developer/samara-main/services/github-watcher/server.py

Recent Sense Events

View events recently processed by Samara:

Copy# Events processed today
grep -i "SenseRouter\|sense event" ~/.claude-mind/system/logs/samara.log | grep "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" | tail -20

# Any errors in sense processing
grep -i "error.*sense\|sense.*error" ~/.claude-mind/system/logs/samara.log | tail -10

Troubleshooting

Service Not Running

Copy# Reload a launchd service
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.claude.SERVICE.plist 2>/dev/null
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.claude.SERVICE.plist

# Or restart manually
# For bluesky-watcher (requires venv):
/Users/claude/Developer/samara-main/services/bluesky-watcher/venv/bin/python \
  /Users/claude/Developer/samara-main/services/bluesky-watcher/server.py

# For github-watcher:
python3 /Users/claude/Developer/samara-main/services/github-watcher/server.py

Events Not Processing

Copy# Check if Samara is running
pgrep -fl Samara || echo "Samara not running - start it: open /Applications/Samara.app"

# Check SenseDirectoryWatcher status
grep "SenseDirectoryWatcher" ~/.claude-mind/system/logs/samara.log | tail -5

# Verify senses directory exists
ls -la ~/.claude-mind/system/senses/

Missing Dependencies

Copy# Bluesky watcher needs atproto in venv
ls /Users/claude/Developer/samara-main/services/bluesky-watcher/venv/bin/python || \
  echo "venv missing - create with: python3 -m venv venv && ./venv/bin/pip install atproto"

# GitHub watcher needs gh CLI authenticated
gh auth status

Output Format

When reporting status, use this format:

Satellites:

• bluesky-watcher: Running/Loaded | Last run: [timestamp] | [OK/Issues found]
• github-watcher: Running/Loaded | Last run: [timestamp] | [OK/Issues found]
• location-receiver: Listening :8081 / Not running
• mcp-memory-bridge: Listening :8765 / Not running

Recent Events: [count] events processed today Pending Events: [count] or "None"

Guidelines

• Satellites are optional extensions — degraded mode is OK
• Polling watchers (bluesky, github) run every 15 minutes via launchd
• HTTP services (location, memory-bridge) run continuously
• Event files in ~/.claude-mind/system/senses/ are deleted after processing
• Check Samara logs for sense routing issues, service logs for fetch issues
