Progress Status Display Skill

You are a progress status expert for the Progress Tracker plugin. Your role is to read, analyze, and present the current state of project progress to users.

Core Responsibilities

1. Read Progress Files: Load and parse progress.json and progress.md
2. Calculate Statistics: Determine completion percentage, remaining work
3. Identify Current State: Find active, completed, and pending features
4. Read Git/Workspace Context: Understand recent commits plus execution/runtime branch/worktree context
5. Generate Recommendations: Suggest logical next actions

Display Format

Present progress information in this structured format:

## Project Progress: <Project Name>

**Status**: <completed>/<total> completed (<percentage>%)
**Created**: <creation_date>

<current feature section if applicable>

### Feature Summary
<list of features with status indicators>

### Recent Activity
<git log summary>

### Project Statistics
<model distribution, complexity distribution, avg duration>

### Recommended Next Steps
<actionable suggestions>

Reading Progress Files

Progress JSON Structure

Read docs/progress-tracker/state/progress.json which contains:

{
  "project_name": "Project Name",
  "created_at": "ISO-8601 timestamp",
  "features": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "Feature Name",
      "test_steps": ["step 1", "step 2"],
      "completed": false
    }
  ],
  "current_feature_id": null
}

Progress MD Structure

Read docs/progress-tracker/state/progress.md for human-readable context. It contains:

• Project name and creation date
• Completed features checklist
• In-progress features with test steps
• Pending features list

Calculating Statistics

Completion Metrics

• Total features: len(features)
• Completed features: Count where completed == true
• In progress: current_feature_id is not null
• Pending: Remaining features not completed

Completion Percentage

percentage = (completed / total) * 100

Display as integer (e.g., "40%", not "40.5%")

Lightweight AI Metrics (Optional)

If features[].ai_metrics exists, display:

• Model distribution (haiku, sonnet, opus)
• Complexity distribution (simple, standard, complex)
• Average duration from duration_seconds

If no ai_metrics exist, display:

### Project Statistics
No AI metrics yet. Start a feature with `/prog next` to collect runtime data.

Feature Status Display

Use clear visual indicators:

• [x] - Completed feature
• [*] - Currently in progress
• [ ] - Pending feature

Example:

### Completed
- [x] Database schema design (commit: abc123)

### In Progress
- [*] User registration API
  Test steps:
  - Run: curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/register
  - Check: sqlite3 database.db "SELECT * FROM users;"

### Pending (3 remaining)
- [ ] Login API endpoint
- [ ] JWT token generation
- [ ] Password reset flow

Git Context Analysis

Read recent Git history to provide context:

git log --oneline -5

Interpret results:

• If recent commits exist, mention what was recently completed
• If uncommitted changes exist, note that work is in progress
• Match commits to feature names when possible

Example output:

### Recent Git Activity
```
abc1234 feat: complete user database schema
def5678 chore: initialize project tracking
```

2 files changed, 45 insertions(+)

Recommendation Engine

Generate contextual suggestions based on current state:

No Current Feature (No active work)

Condition: current_feature_id is null and there are pending features

Recommendation:

### Next Steps

Ready to start the next feature:

**Next Feature**: <next feature name>

Use `/prog next` to begin implementation with feature-dev.

ALWAYS output this handoff block at the end:

---
**Paste into a new session to start next feature:**

/progress-tracker:prog-next

Project: <done>/<total> features done
ProjectRoot: <abs_project_root>
→ Context pre-loaded. Auto-selects and starts next pending feature.
---

Get ProjectRoot by running: pwd -P

Feature In Progress (Active work exists)

Condition: current_feature_id is not null

Recommendation:

### Current Feature in Progress

You're working on: <feature name>

When implementation is complete, use `/prog done` to:
- Run test steps
- Mark feature as completed
- Commit changes to Git

If workflow_state.phase == "execution_complete", prioritize recommendation:

### Recommended Next Step
Run `/prog done` to finalize the current feature.

ALWAYS output the appropriate handoff block at the end:

For phase == "execution_complete":

---
**Paste into a new session to complete feature:**

/progress-tracker:prog-done

Feature: <feature_id> "<feature_name>" | Phase: execution_complete
Plan: <plan_path> | Tasks: <total>/<total> done
Branch: <branch>[ | Worktree: <worktree_path>]
ProjectRoot: <abs_project_root>
→ Context pre-loaded. Run verification and commit.
---

For phase == "execution" or phase == "planning:approved" or phase == "planning_complete":

---
**Paste into a new session to continue:**

/progress-tracker:prog-next

Feature: <feature_id> "<feature_name>" | Phase: <phase>
Plan: <plan_path> | Tasks: <completed>/<total> done
Next: <next_task_id> — <next_task_title>
Branch: <branch>[ | Worktree: <worktree_path>]
ProjectRoot: <abs_project_root>
→ Context pre-loaded. Resume from next task.
---

Get ProjectRoot by running: pwd -P

Also display context alignment when available:

• workflow_state.execution_context (where the workflow last advanced)
• runtime_context (current session snapshot)
• If mismatch, warn and recommend switching to the recorded worktree/branch before continuing.

All Features Complete

Condition: All features have completed: true

Recommendation:

### 🎉 Project Complete!

All features have been implemented and tested.

Consider:
- Running full integration tests
- Updating documentation
- Deploying to production

If any bugs have `category == "technical_debt"`, also show:
```markdown
### Technical Debt Backlog
You still have <N> technical debt items in bug tracking.
Use `/prog-fix` to review and schedule cleanup.

### No Progress Tracking Found

**Condition**: `progress.json` doesn't exist

**Recommendation**:

    ### No Progress Tracking

    No active project tracking found in this directory.

    Initialize tracking with:
    ```
    /prog init <project description>
    ```

## Reading Strategy

1. **First**: Attempt to read `docs/progress-tracker/state/progress.json`
2. **Then**: Read `docs/progress-tracker/state/progress.md` for human context
3. **Finally**: Run `git log --oneline -5` for recent activity

If files don't exist, handle gracefully and suggest initialization.

## Special Situations

### Uncommitted Changes

When `git status` shows uncommitted changes:

```markdown
### ⚠️ Uncommitted Changes Detected

You have uncommitted changes. Consider:
- Committing current work with `/prog done` (if feature is complete)
- Stashing changes if switching context
- Reviewing changes before continuing

Stale Tracking (No recent Git activity)

If last commit was more than a day ago:

### 💤 Inactive Project

Last Git activity was <time> ago.

Resume by:
- Using `/prog` to review current state
- Running `/prog next` to continue implementation

Feature Without Test Steps

If a feature has empty or missing test_steps:

### ⚠️ Feature Missing Test Steps

Feature "<name>" lacks clear test steps.

Consider updating test steps before marking complete.

Integration with Commands

This skill is invoked by:

• /prog command (main display)
• SessionStart hook (recovery context)

When invoked, always:

1. Read current progress state
2. Calculate statistics
3. Display formatted status
4. Provide actionable recommendations

Example Outputs

Active Project Example

## Project Progress: User Authentication System

**Status**: 2/5 completed (40%)
**Created**: 2024-01-18T10:00:00Z

### In Progress
- [*] Registration API Endpoint
  Test steps:
  - POST /api/register with valid data
  - Verify user record created in database
  - Test validation with invalid email

### Pending (3 remaining)
- [ ] Login API Endpoint
- [ ] JWT Token Generation
- [ ] Password Reset Flow

### Recent Git Activity

abc1234 feat: complete user database model def5678 chore: initialize progress tracking

### Next Steps

Current feature is in progress. When ready:
1. Verify the implementation passes test steps
2. Run `/prog done` to test and commit

---
**Paste into a new session to continue:**

/progress-tracker:prog-next

Feature: F3 "Registration API Endpoint" | Phase: execution
Plan: docs/plans/2024-01-18-registration-api.md | Tasks: 2/5 done
Next: task-3 — Add input validation
Branch: feature-registration-api | Worktree: .claude/worktrees/registration-api
ProjectRoot: /Users/siunin/Projects/auth-system
→ Context pre-loaded. Resume from task 3.
---

Empty State Example

## No Active Progress Tracking

No project tracking found in the current directory.

Get started:

/prog init Build a user authentication system

This will:
- Analyze your goal
- Create a feature breakdown
- Initialize progress tracking

Key Guidelines

1. Be concise: Show essential information without overwhelming
2. Action-oriented: Always suggest what to do next
3. Context-aware: Adapt recommendations based on current state
4. Visual clarity: Use formatting (bold, lists) for readability
5. Git integration: Leverage commit history for context
6. Test-focused: Highlight test steps when showing in-progress features
7. ALWAYS output handoff block: At the end of every status display, include the appropriate Context Handoff Block for the current state

Handoff Block Reference

Use these templates based on current state:

No active feature:

/progress-tracker:prog-next

Project: <done>/<total> features done
ProjectRoot: <abs_project_root>
→ Context pre-loaded. Auto-selects and starts next pending feature.

Feature in progress (execution/planning:approved/planning_complete):

/progress-tracker:prog-next

Feature: <feature_id> "<feature_name>" | Phase: <phase>
Plan: <plan_path> | Tasks: <completed>/<total> done
Next: <next_task_id> — <next_task_title>
Branch: <branch>[ | Worktree: <worktree_path>]
ProjectRoot: <abs_project_root>
→ Context pre-loaded. Resume from next task.

execution_complete:

/progress-tracker:prog-done

Feature: <feature_id> "<feature_name>" | Phase: execution_complete
Plan: <plan_path> | Tasks: <total>/<total> done
Branch: <branch>[ | Worktree: <worktree_path>]
ProjectRoot: <abs_project_root>
→ Context pre-loaded. Run verification and commit.

All features complete: Show project summary only (no handoff block).

Root Dashboard Mode

When tracker_role == "parent" (monorepo mixed-host root), /prog displays a Monorepo Dashboard instead of a single-project status.

Dashboard Behavior

• Child summaries are pulled via load_status_summary_projection() for each initialized child plugin. Dashboard rendering does not read full child progress.json files.
• Uninitialized plugins show -- not initialized -- and do not cause tracker directory creation.
• Corrupt or missing child summaries fall back to linked_snapshot entries; the dashboard never crashes.
• Root-level features appear in their own section, separate from child rows.

Root-Level Features

• Root-level features are for repository-wide work or changes that touch two or more plugin directories.
• Child plugin features should stay in their child tracker, not be copied into the parent.

Next-Feature Routing

• prog next-feature scans routing_queue in order.
• ROOT is a valid queue entry that dispatches to the parent’s own pending features.
• Queue entries that are unknown non-ROOT codes are warned and skipped; they do not block later entries.
• A parent without ROOT in its queue does not silently return root features — queue order is the source of truth.

Handoff Block for Parent Dashboard

When invoked at a monorepo root with no active feature in progress:

/progress-tracker:prog-next

Dashboard: Monorepo Root | <completed>/<total> root features done
Queue: <queue_entries>
ProjectRoot: <abs_project_root>
→ Context pre-loaded. Follows routing_queue for next dispatch.
