# Forge Watch — start the Observer
Starts the Observer daemon (REQ-F-008..014). Idempotent: starting an already-running
Observer warns instead of spawning a second session. The Observer reuses a single
`claude -p` session (resumed each poll) pinned to a cheap model, and writes only to
`.forge/` — it never touches pipeline artifacts.
## When to Use
- User types `/forge:watch` or asks to monitor/watch the project in the background.
- After a long build session, to start accumulating Observer findings for next time.
## When NOT to Use
- The user wants a one-off review of changes now → that's `/forge:review`, not the
background watcher.
- Background agents are unavailable — the command is safe (clean no-op) but pointless;
`/forge:status` will show "Observer: not running".
## Steps
1. Start (or confirm) the Observer:
```bash
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/observer.py --start --cwd "$(pwd)"
```
2. Present the one-line result verbatim. Possible outcomes:
- **started** — "Observer watching (session …); N finding(s) on first poll".
- **already_running** — it was already watching; do not start a second one.
- **unavailable** — background agents are off; tell the user it's a no-op and that
findings won't accrue until a background-capable `claude` is present.
3. Mention that findings surface automatically at the next session start and in
`/forge:status`, and that `/forge:watch-stop` stops it.
