Torque Status
Show the developer a unified view of their project state. No database — read files and git only.
Procedure
Step 1: Detect project type
ls -d .planning/ 2>/dev/null && echo "GSD_PROJECT=true" || echo "GSD_PROJECT=false"
ls -d docs/plans/ 2>/dev/null && echo "SP_PROJECT=true" || echo "SP_PROJECT=false"
Step 2: GSD project state (if .planning/ exists)
Read these files in order (skip any that don't exist):
.planning/STATE.md — current phase, plan statuses, blockers
.planning/ROADMAP.md — milestone and phase overview
.planning/PROJECT.md — project goals and tech stack (first 30 lines)
- Active phase directory — check
.planning/phases/N/ for the current phase:
CONTEXT.md — what this phase is about
PLAN.md or PLAN-*.md — execution plans and their status
SUMMARY.md files — completed plan summaries
VERIFICATION.md — verification results if phase is in verify stage
HANDOFF.md — if work was paused mid-phase
Step 3: SP standalone state (if docs/plans/ exists, no .planning/)
- Read all
docs/plans/*.md files
- Check for completion markers (checked boxes
[x] vs unchecked [ ])
- Identify current position in the plan
Step 4: Git context
git branch --show-current
git log --oneline -5
git status --short
Step 5: Conflict detection
Flag if BOTH .planning/ AND docs/plans/ exist — this is a misconfiguration. See references/conflict-resolution.md.
Step 6: Output format
Print a structured summary:
## Project Status
**Type**: GSD project | SP standalone | No workflow detected
**Branch**: feature/xyz
**Phase**: 3 of 7 — "Authentication system"
**Phase status**: executing (2/4 plans complete)
**Blockers**: None | [list blockers]
**Last activity**: 2h ago — "add jwt middleware"
### Active Plans
- [x] PLAN-01: Database schema (complete)
- [x] PLAN-02: Auth service (complete)
- [ ] PLAN-03: JWT middleware (in progress)
- [ ] PLAN-04: Route guards (pending)
### Suggested Next Action
→ Continue executing PLAN-03, or run `/gsd:resume-work` if context was lost
If no workflow is detected:
## Project Status
**Type**: No workflow detected
**Branch**: main
### Getting Started
- New project? → `/gsd:new-project`
- Existing codebase? → `/gsd:map-codebase`
- Quick standalone work? → Just start with `brainstorming`
Rules
- Never modify any files. This is read-only.
- Show real data from files, not guesses.
- Keep output concise — fit in one screen.
- Always include a suggested next action.
