Autonomous pipeline monitor using sense-think-act loop. Watches snakemake/nextflow jobs, detects errors, applies fixes from memory, restarts on failure.

When inspecting learned pipeline failure resolutions in the shepherd dashboard, what filter string is passed to `habit_list`?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Passes filter string `pipeline` to mcp__chitta__habit_list. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Tends long-running pipelines (snakemake, nextflow) using a sense-think-act loop. Detects errors, recalls fixes from memory, restarts automatically, checkpoints progress.
/shepherd <command> [--interval=60] [--max-restarts=3] # Start monitoring
/shepherd status # Check shepherd status
/shepherd stop # Stop monitoring
| Flag | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--interval | 60 | Seconds between sense cycles |
--max-restarts | 3 | Max automatic restarts before escalating |
--notify | true | Send notifications on events |
--auto-fix | true | Attempt automatic fixes from memory |
--session | auto | Target session: "auto", "current", or session name |
--isolate | auto | Session isolation: "auto", "yes", "no" |
When --isolate=auto (default), shepherd chooses based on task characteristics:
| Condition | Isolation | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| HPC/SLURM job | yes | Long-running, survives disconnects |
| Remote SSH pipeline | yes | Needs persistent attachment |
| Quick local task (<1h) | no | Tab isolation sufficient |
| Multiple parallel pipelines | yes | Separate sessions per pipeline |
| Interactive monitoring | no | Keep in current session |
function shouldIsolate(command, options) {
if (options.isolate === "yes") return true;
if (options.isolate === "no") return false;
