-# Story 297: Improve bot status command formatting
-
-## User Story
-
-As a user reading the bot's status output in Matrix, I want to see clean story numbers and titles (not filenames), with agent assignments shown inline, so that the output is easy to scan at a glance.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-- [ ] Status output shows story number and title (e.g. '293 — Register all bot commands') not the full filename stem
-- [ ] Each story shows which agent is working on it if one is assigned (e.g. 'coder-1 (sonnet)')
-- [ ] Stories with no agent assigned show no agent info rather than cluttering the output
-- [ ] Output is compact and scannable in a Matrix chat window
-
-## Out of Scope
-
-- TBD

+# Story 298: Bot htop command with live-updating process dashboard
+
+## User Story
+
+As a project owner in a Matrix room, I want to type "{bot_name} htop" and see a live-updating dashboard of system load and agent processes, so that I can monitor resource usage without needing terminal access.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] '{bot_name} htop' sends an initial status message showing load average and per-agent process info (CPU, memory, story assignment)
+- [ ] Message is edited every 5 seconds with updated stats
+- [ ] Only shows processes related to the project (agent PIDs and their child process trees)
+- [ ] '{bot_name} htop stop' stops the live updating and sends a final 'monitoring stopped' edit
+- [ ] Works regardless of what language/toolchain the agents are using (monitors by PID tree, not by process name)
+- [ ] Uses Matrix message editing (replacement events) to update in place
+- [ ] Only one htop session per room at a time
