Status โ what's the manager doing right now
Read-only summary of pipeline state. Safe to run at any time. Does not modify any
file, does not spawn agents, does not move items between lanes.
Procedure
Step 1 โ read the wiki (gate compliance)
Read wiki/INDEX.md. A PreToolUse hook blocks Bash/Task until you have.
Step 2 โ gather state
- Lane counts โ count files in each of
wiki/backlog/{inbox,ready,doing,done}/ (exclude .gitkeep).
- Active item โ the (at most one) item in
wiki/backlog/doing/. Read its
frontmatter for id, title, type, flags. Read its ## Notes for any
recent agent updates.
- Current stage โ read the tail of
wiki/progress.md. The last - <agent>: โฆ
line under the active item tells you which stage is running (or just completed).
- Last escalation โ search
wiki/progress.md for the most recent
result: escalated line. If none, omit.
- Next ready items โ list the first three filenames in
wiki/backlog/ready/ sorted by priority then created (read each card's
frontmatter; high priority first, ties broken by oldest created:).
- Blocked items โ any item with
flags: [blocked] (or that contains blocked
in its flags list) anywhere under wiki/backlog/.
Step 3 โ render
Print one screen of text in this shape:
Vibin status โ <project name from wiki/vision.md, if available>
Lanes: inbox <n> ready <n> doing <n> done <n>
Doing: B<id> <title> โ track: <type> โ stage: <agent (red|green|reviewing|โฆ)>
flags: [<flags>]
last note: <last line of the item's ## Notes, or "โ" if empty>
Next ready (top 3):
1. B<id> <title> (track: <type>, priority: <p>)
2. ...
3. ...
Blocked: <count or "none">
- B<id> <title> โ <one-line reason from ## Notes>
Last escalation: <progress.md line, or "none">
To resume: /manager
To file new work: /intake "<title>"
If wiki/backlog/doing/ is empty, the Doing: block reads
Doing: (nothing โ run /manager to pull the next ready item).
Rules
- Read-only. Do not edit any file, do not move any item, do not run tests.
- If the wiki has not been bootstrapped (
wiki/backlog/ missing), report
Not bootstrapped โ run /bootstrap to set the project up.
- Keep it to one screen. The point is a glance, not an audit. For full history see
wiki/progress.md.
