Get Status Skill

Display current state of entities: active tasks, in-progress items, recent completions, and next steps.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when user:

• Asks "What's the status of [entity]?"
• Says "Show me updates for [entity]"
• Asks "What's happening with [entity]?"
• Says "How is [entity] doing?"
• Asks "What's the progress on [entity]?"
• Wants a quick overview of entity state
• Says "status check" or "status update"

How It Works

1. Identify target entity(ies)

   • Single entity: "Status of Acme"
   • Multiple entities: "Status of Acme and Beta"
   • All entities: "Status of all clients"
   • No entity specified: Ask user or default to all

2. Read entity ROADMAP.md

   • Extract tasks with - [ ] (todo)
   • Extract tasks with - [-] (in progress)
   • Extract tasks with - [x] (completed)
   • Note deadlines if present

3. Read entity PROFILE.md

   • Get last updated timestamp
   • Note key dates or upcoming events

4. Format status summary

   • Group by status (active, in-progress, completed)
   • Highlight items needing attention
   • Suggest next steps

• Single entity: "Status of Acme"
• No entity specified: Ask user which entity, or offer all-entities summary

Entity Type Awareness

Read entity type from CONFIG.md if present:

• Use appropriate terminology (client, project, product)
• Adapt summary framing to entity type

Status Indicators

Attention Flags

Automatically flag entities that need attention:

• Overdue tasks: Deadline has passed
• Stale entities: No updates in 7+ days
• High task count: More than 10 active tasks
• No progress: All tasks still in todo state

Error Handling

• Entity not found: "No entity named '[name]' found. Did you mean [similar]?"
• No entities exist: "No entities found. Create one with 'add new client [name]'"
• Empty roadmap: "No tasks found for [entity]. Add some with 'add task to [entity]'"

Slash Command

/get-status [entity] or /status [entity]

Example: /status Acme Corp
