Clawd Presence
Terminal-based presence display for AI agents.
Why
Chat has latency. A presence display inverts this - the agent broadcasts state continuously, you glance at it like a clock.

# Configure (auto-detect from clawdbot or manual)
python3 scripts/configure.py --auto

Update Status
Call from your agent whenever starting a task:
python3 scripts/status.py work "Building feature"
python3 scripts/status.py think "Analyzing data"
python3 scripts/status.py idle "Ready"
python3 scripts/status.py alert "Need attention"
python3 scripts/status.py sleep
