projects

/projects

List all projects in the Manager's project index.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

• See all tracked projects and their status
• Check which projects have active sessions
• Review project priorities before routing work

Implementation

1. Read projects.yaml

cat ~/.varie/manager/projects.yaml 2>/dev/null

If file doesn't exist or is empty, show helpful message.

2. Parse and format

Extract projects from YAML and format as table:

Project	Status	Current Feature	Last Updated
webapp	active	user_auth	2 hours ago
backend	idle	-	2 days ago

3. Show active sessions

Cross-reference with /work-sessions to indicate which projects have active sessions.

Output Format

## Projects

| Project | Path | Status | Current Work |
|---------|------|--------|--------------|
| webapp | ~/projects/webapp | active | user_auth |
| varie | ~/projects/varie | idle | - |

Active sessions: 1 (webapp)

## Aliases
- character → webapp
- infra → backend

Empty State

If no projects are configured:

## Projects

No projects configured yet.

To add a project, edit ~/.varie/manager/projects.yaml:

```yaml
projects:
  my_project:
    path: /path/to/repo
    status: active
    current_feature: feature_name

Or use /route to auto-create sessions - projects will be tracked automatically.
