Status Command Reference

Project health and progress reporting.

Purpose

Provide comprehensive overview of project health, progress, risks, and recommendations.

When Used in Workflow

• Daily Morning: Quick health check
• Sprint Start: Baseline status
• Sprint End: Sprint metrics

Common Invocation Patterns

status                    # Detailed report (default)
status --brief           # Quick summary (1-2 paragraphs)
status --sprint          # Focus on current sprint
status --metrics         # Include quantitative metrics
status --risks           # Emphasize risks and blockers

Assessment Process

Phase 1: Progress Evaluation

Task Status Analysis:

• Review /tasks/ for completion rates
• Check /planning/sprint-*.md for progress
• Analyze /planning/backlog.md for remaining work

Velocity Metrics:

• Tasks completed this period
• Tasks in progress
• Tasks blocked
• Completion rate vs plan

Phase 2: Health Indicators

Code Quality:

• Recent test coverage changes
• Technical debt accumulation
• Code complexity trends
• Recent audit findings

Documentation:

• Context network currency
• Documentation coverage
• Discovery records created
• Knowledge gaps identified

Process:

• Decision velocity
• Blocker resolution time
• Collaboration effectiveness

Phase 3: Risk Assessment

Current Risks:

• Technical risks and mitigation
• Schedule risks and impact
• Resource constraints
• External dependencies

Emerging Concerns:

• New technical debt
• Architectural drift
• Process breakdowns
• Knowledge silos

Phase 4: Recommendations

Immediate Actions:

• Critical issues to address
• Quick wins available
• Blockers to resolve

Strategic Adjustments:

• Process improvements
• Architecture refinements
• Resource reallocations

Use consistently:

• On Track / At Risk / Behind
• Improving / Stable / Declining
• Complete / In Progress / Waiting / Blocked

Orchestration Notes

Status provides context for workflow decisions:

• Morning: informs task selection
• Sprint boundaries: guides planning
• Risk-focused: prioritizes blockers
