Status Skill

Version: 1.0.0 Portability: Tool-specific (requires gh CLI, dot CLI, git)

Quick Start

Get complete project status in under 10 seconds.

What This Does

Shows comprehensive view of: configuration, current branch/task, TDD cycle state, PR status, and next steps.

Fastest Path

bash

/sdlc:status

# Output:
# ✅ Configuration: Event Modeling mode
# 🌿 Branch: feature/myproject-add-auth-abc123
# 📋 Task: myproject-add-auth-abc123 (In Progress)
# 🧪 TDD Cycle: GREEN phase (in progress)
# 🔀 PR: Not created yet
# ⏭️  Next: Complete implementation, then /sdlc:pr

Current Context

!bash -c "echo '**Working Directory:** ' && pwd"!

!bash -c "echo '**Git Status:** ' && git status -s 2>/dev/null | head -5 || echo 'No git repo'"!

Common Examples

Example 1: Mid-Implementation

When: Working on feature, want quick status check Invoke: /sdlc:status Result: Shows branch, task, TDD phase, suggests next action

Example 2: After Break

When: Returning after hours/days, need context Invoke: /sdlc:status Result: Full context: what you were working on, where you left off

Example 3: Before PR

When: Ready to create PR, want pre-flight check Invoke: /sdlc:status Result: Shows commits ready, suggests /sdlc:pr

When to Use

Use when:

•Starting new session (need context)
•Mid-work status check
•Unsure what to do next
•User asks "where am I?" or "what's the status?"

Don't use when:

•Project not set up (run /sdlc:setup first)
•Need to take action (use workflow skills directly)

Related:

•/sdlc:start - Smart routing based on status
•/sdlc:work - Start/continue work
•/sdlc:pr - Create pull request

Auto-Invocation

Claude automatically invokes this skill when you say:

•"What's the current status?"
•"Where am I in the workflow?"
•"Show me the project state"
•"What am I working on?"
•"Give me a status report"

You don't need to type /sdlc:status explicitly - Claude will detect these requests and invoke the skill for you.

Status Display Format

The status output shows:

1. Configuration Status

•✅ Configured: Shows workflow mode (Event Modeling / Traditional)
•❌ Not configured: Suggests /sdlc:setup

2. Branch & Task

•Current git branch
•Associated task ID and title
•Task status (Pending / In Progress / Completed)
•Worktree location (if using worktrees)

3. TDD Cycle State

•✅ Red: Test written
•✅ Domain: Types reviewed
•🔄 Green: Implementation in progress
•⏳ Blocked: Waiting for domain review

4. PR Status

•No PR: Will be created when ready
•PR #123: Link and review status
•Review comments: Count if any

5. Next Steps

•Suggested next action based on current state
•Link to relevant skill

6. Recent Activity

•Last 3 commits (timestamp + message)
•Recent agent invocations
•Time since last change

Implementation Details

This skill:

•Reads git state (branch, commits, status)
•Checks dot task state for current work
•Analyzes task list for TDD cycle phase
•Queries gh CLI for PR status
•Reads .claude/sdlc.yaml for configuration
•Fast, read-only (no Task tool usage)

Performance: < 2 seconds typical response time
