Trigger Reference

This skill activates on:

• •Keywords: "project status", "what's in progress", "what next", "what's blocked", "current work", "next task", "show status", "what am I working on", "what should I work on", "work status", "task status", "blockers", "blocked items"
• •Intent Patterns: (project|work).*(status|progress), what.*(next|work on|in progress|blocked), (show|display).*(status|progress|blockers), what.*(should I|am I).*work, current.*(work|task|status)

Purpose

Automatically trigger PM status commands (/pm:status, /pm:next, /pm:blocked, /pm:in-progress) when users ask about project status, next tasks, or blockers using natural language.

Core Behavior

In any DAIC mode:

1. •

   Status Query Detection

   • •Detect project status queries from natural language
   • •Examples: "What's in progress?", "What should I work on next?", "What's blocked?"
   • •Route to appropriate PM status command
2. •

   Command Routing

   • •Next task: "what next" → /pm:next
   • •In progress: "what's in progress" → /pm:in-progress
   • •Blockers: "what's blocked" → /pm:blocked
   • •General status: "project status" → /pm:status
3. •

   Result Display

   • •Invoke appropriate PM command
   • •Return formatted status information
   • •Provide actionable next steps

Natural Language Examples

Triggers this skill:

• •✓ "What should I work on next?"
• •✓ "What's in progress?"
• •✓ "Show me what's blocked"
• •✓ "Project status"
• •✓ "What am I currently working on?"
• •✓ "Next task"
• •✓ "Show blockers"
• •✓ "Current work status"

Safety Guardrails

ANALYSIS-ONLY RULES:

• •✓ NEVER call write tools
• •✓ Only invokes PM status commands (read-only)
• •✓ Safe to run in any DAIC mode
