status

The status skill acts as a comprehensive Progress Reporter and Status Analyzer for the Conductor plugin ecosystem. It is designed for developers and technical leads who need a transparent, real-time overview of multiple development tracks without manually parsing individual files. By analyzing your conductor/ directory—specifically tracks.md, plan.md, and metadata.json—this skill aggregates complex project state into a simplified, actionable dashboard. It is an essential tool for maintaining momentum in fast-paced engineering environments where keeping track of task completion, phase transitions, and potential blockers is critical for velocity.

• Real-time visualization of project progress including task completion percentages and phase tracking.

• Automated detection and prioritization of blocked tasks to ensure they are visible at the top of every report.

• Multi-track aggregation, allowing users to monitor multiple features, bugfixes, or technical debt initiatives simultaneously.

• Action-oriented insights that recommend the next logical step after every report to reduce decision fatigue.

• Clear formatting that distinguishes between active tasks, completed milestones, and pending items.

• This is a read-only tool; it does not modify your codebase or conductor configuration files, ensuring safety.

• Always ensures the display order prioritizes blocked tasks first, followed by in-progress work.

• Expects a valid conductor/ structure in the project root to perform comprehensive scans.

• Calculates completion based on task counts defined in your metadata, providing consistent metrics.

• Use this command regularly during stand-ups or when switching contexts to quickly re-orient yourself on active development goals.
