Project Status

Provides read-only overview of project tasks and recent activity from Obsidian vault.

Configuration

Read .claude/pm-config.json. If missing, tell user to run /pm-init.

Execution

Delegate to the pm-status-reader agent (model: haiku) for fast read-only analysis.

If running inline, follow these steps:

1. Parse all tasks

Use scripts/obsidian_pm.py list-tasks to get all TASK-*.md files with frontmatter.

2. Generate status summary

Group tasks by task_status:

• •🎯 longTerm: Long-term strategic goals
• •📋 backlog: Planned for 1-3 months
• •⭕ to-do: Ready to start (1-2 weeks)
• •⏳ in-progress: Currently active
• •⏸️ pending: Blocked/waiting
• •✅ completed: Finished
• •❌ cancelled: Not proceeding

Display count for each status.

3. Show active work details

For tasks with status ⏳ in-progress:

• •Task ID and title
• •Branch name (if set)
• •Completion criteria progress: checked/total (e.g., "3/5")
• •Days since last update
• •Priority

4. Show recent changelog

Display last 5 entries from changelog.md.

5. Identify issues

Check for:

• •Stale tasks: ⏳ in-progress tasks not updated in >14 days
• •Branch mismatches: Current git branch doesn't match any task
• •Missing branches: ⏳ in-progress tasks without branch field set
• •Incomplete completed: ✅ completed tasks with unchecked criteria

6. Cross-reference git branch

Get current branch: git branch --show-current

• •Match against task branch fields
• •Show which task (if any) matches current work
