/mm:status - Project Status Deep Dive

Show detailed status for a specific project including spec, recent sessions, and current state.

Works from any directory - reads vault location from global config.

Prerequisites

This command requires mastermind to be initialized. If ~/.claude/mastermind.local.md doesn't exist, prompt the user to run /mm:init <vault-path> first.

Behavior

1. Determine Project

   • Use project argument (required)
   • If not provided, list available projects and ask

2. Read Project Data

   • Load projects/[name]/spec.md - the specification
   • Load projects/[name]/status.md - current state summary
   • List projects/[name]/sessions/ - recent session reports

3. Present Comprehensive View

   Specification Summary:

   • Purpose (1-2 sentences)
   • Current phase and its goals
   • Key success criteria

   Current Status:

   • Active work items
   • Known blockers
   • Last sync date

   Recent Sessions:

   • List last 5 sessions with dates and brief summaries
   • Offer to read any specific session in detail

   Patterns & Learnings:

   • Aggregate learnings from recent sessions
   • Recurring issues/frustrations
   • Effective approaches discovered

Arguments

• <project>: Required. The project name to examine.

Examples

/mm:status my-webapp     # Show my-webapp status
/mm:status rust-library  # Show rust-library status

Output Format

# my-webapp Status

## Specification
**Purpose**: [1-2 sentence summary from spec]
**Current Phase**: MVP Development
**Success Criteria**: [key criteria for current phase]

## Current State
**Last Synced**: 2026-01-15
**Active Work**: User authentication flow
**Blockers**: None currently

## Recent Sessions

1. **cheerful-dancing-penguin** (2026-01-15)
   Implemented login form, debugged session handling

2. **bouncy-purple-flamingo** (2026-01-14)
   Set up authentication backend, chose JWT approach

3. **swift-coding-dolphin** (2026-01-12)
   Initial project setup, dependency decisions

## Patterns Observed
- Recurring: Session state issues when cookies disabled
- Effective: Using browser dev tools network tab for debugging auth

If Project Not Found

If the project isn't in the vault:

• Check if it's in config.yaml but not synced → suggest /mm:sync
• If not in config.yaml → suggest /mm:add <name> <path>
