About this capability

Show current goal-plan status at a glance - phases, progress, checklist, verification, and risks.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by udecode/plate in .agents/skills/status/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Read the active docs/plans goal plan and display a compact status summary. If the user did not name a file, use the active goal context and the most relevant recent docs/plans/*.md; if ambiguous, list the likely files and ask for the smallest clarification.

What to Show

  1. Current Phase/Pass: Extract from the phase/pass table.
  2. Checklist: Count checked, unchecked, and N/A required items.
  3. Verification: Show latest verification evidence.
  4. Errors: Count unresolved error attempts.
  5. Risks: Show open risks.

Status Icons

  • [ ] or pending -> pending
  • in_progress -> in progress
  • [x], complete, or done -> complete
  • failed or blocked -> blocked

Output Format

Goal Plan Status

Current: Phase {N} of {total} ({percent}%)
Status: {status_text}

  {status} Phase 1: {name}
  {status} Phase 2: {name} <- current
  {status} Phase 3: {name}
  ...

If No Planning Files Exist

No goal plan found

Create one with:
node .agents/skills/autogoal/scripts/create-goal-scratchpad.mjs ...

Keep It Brief

This is a quick status check, not a full report. Show just enough to answer "where am I?" without re-reading all the files.
