Who it is forA developer who left agents running during the day or overnight and wants a quick status before doing anything else.
The problemReturning to a long agent run means digging through logs to learn what finished, what failed and what cost quota.
The outcomeA brief of at most 60 lines covering completed work, stuck items with reasons, questions waiting for you, and quota cost.
What you need first
- A shell and curl on the machine
- Claude Code or Codex already installed
- Optional: both Claude Code and Codex CLIs, so peer review can use the other vendor
Steps
- Install the skills with the one-line installer, then run
sno setup. - Let your agents run unattended for the session.
- When you return, say "away brief" to your agent.
- Answer the questions listed under waiting for you.
Prompt for your agent
In the repo <repo-path>, produce an away brief with the away brief skill from Sno Station Skills covering the last <time-window> of agent activity. Output at most 60 lines with done, stuck, waiting-for-you and quota-cost sections. Verify that every stuck item names a reason.
Caveat. The brief summarizes only the work your agents recorded, so anything done outside them will not appear.
