status — Plan State Reader
SkillProductivitySurfaces the current state of work in gflow-cli. Three variants at different levels of detail: full state (status), next task only (next), active plan identity (active). All variants run scripts/dev/active_plan.py and filter its output to the requested detail level.

What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by ffroliva/gflow-cli in skills/status/SKILL.md and read by Ahel’s review.
Three variants for different contexts. All backed by scripts/dev/active_plan.py.
Variants
status [feature] — Full state
The full picture: which plan file is active, its goal, progress (X/N tasks complete), and the next unchecked task block.
Script invocation:
# With a feature name (from $ARGUMENTS or conversation context):
uv run python scripts/dev/active_plan.py --feature <slug>
# Without a feature name (uses root PLAN.md):
uv run python scripts/dev/active_plan.py
Return: the complete script output verbatim.
When to call:
- Starting a session: "where did we leave off?"
- After completing a task: "what comes next?"
- Before adding scope: "does this belong to the current plan?"
next [feature] — Next task only
The single next unchecked task block. No header noise.
Script invocation: same as status.
Return: only the content from --- Next task --- onward. Drop the Plan / Title /
Goal / Progress header lines entirely.
If no --- Next task --- separator is present (root PLAN.md mode), return the full
script output — the phase block is already task-level content.
If the script output contains "All steps complete", say so and suggest:
/gflow:changelogto review unreleased changes/gflow:releaseif the phase is fully done
When to call:
- "What do I do right now?" — between tasks, no orientation needed
- Resuming mid-session after a context switch
active — Plan identity only
Just which plan is active and its goal. No task detail.
Script invocation: same as status.
Return: only the header lines — Plan path, Title, Goal, Progress count.
- If the output contains
--- Next task ---, stop before that separator. - If no separator is present (root PLAN.md mode —
_summarise_root_plan()output), return the full output; it contains only orientation-level content with no task block.
When to call:
- Before
/gflow:predictor/gflow:scenario: confirm the proposal fits the active scope - Quick check: "are we in a superpowers plan or the root PLAN.md?"
- When context is long and you need a one-line anchor without task block noise
What the script returns (reference)
- Superpowers plan active: file path · title · goal · progress (X/N steps complete) · next unchecked task block
- No superpowers plan: the first incomplete phase from
PLAN.md(scope, sequence, definition of done) - All complete: "All steps complete." — prompt user toward
/gflow:changelog+/gflow:release
Feature slug resolution
- If the caller passed a slug (e.g.
shell-multi-prompt), pass it as--feature <slug>. - Otherwise check conversation context for a feature name mentioned this session.
- If neither, run the script without
--feature(falls back to rootPLAN.md).
Integration
- Claude Code: invoke via
/gflow:status,/gflow:next, or/gflow:active(thin wrappers around this skill). - Cursor / Aider / Codex: include this file in context; call the variant by name.
- Antigravity (
agy): read this file before asking "what's the next task?".
