# Watch

> Top-level shortcut for `crewship journal --follow` — live SSE tail of the Crew Journal.

# Watch

`cmd/crewship/cmd_watch.go` is a thin top-level alias of [`crewship journal --follow`](/cli/journal). Same SSE-backed live tail, same `Last-Event-ID` reconnection, same filter flags — just the name people actually reach for when they want to "watch what's happening." Press Ctrl-C to exit.

## `crewship watch`

| Flag                  | Type   | Default | Effect                                                                |
| --------------------- | ------ | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--crew <slug-or-id>` | string | (unset) | Filter by crew. Resolved to `crew_id`.                                |
| `--agent <id>`        | string | (unset) | Filter by agent ID.                                                   |
| `--type <list>`       | string | (unset) | Comma-separated entry types (e.g. `peer.escalation,keeper.decision`). |
| `--severity <list>`   | string | (unset) | Comma-separated severities: `info`, `notice`, `warn`, `error`.        |

### Examples

```bash theme={null}
crewship watch
crewship watch --severity warn,error
crewship watch --crew backend-team
crewship watch --type peer.escalation,keeper.decision
crewship watch --agent agt_abc --severity error
```

Startup prints `watching journal — Ctrl-C to exit` to stderr; events land on stdout in the same shape as `journal --follow`.
