/hive-status — Swarm Status Check

Quick status check. Shortcut for /hive status.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Behavior

With arguments (specific swarm)

The argument is a swarm number, ID, or task substring.

1. Call mcp__hive__hive_swarm_status with the argument as query.
2. Call mcp__hive__hive_cell_list with the resolved swarm ID.
3. Format a detailed status report:

Swarm #N — <status>
Blueprint: <blueprint_id>
Task: <task description>
Created: <timestamp>

Flight Pipeline:
  1. <flight_id> (<bee>) .......... <status>
  2. <flight_id> (<bee>) .......... <status>  <-- current
  3. <flight_id> (<bee>) .......... waiting

Cells: 3/7 done
  [done]    auth-middleware — Add JWT validation middleware
  [done]    user-model — Create user database model
  [done]    login-endpoint — Implement /api/login
  [active]  session-store — Redis session storage
  [pending] logout-endpoint — Implement /api/logout
  [pending] password-reset — Password reset flow
  [pending] rate-limiting — Add rate limiting to auth routes

Without arguments (overview)

1. Call mcp__hive__hive_swarm_list to get all swarms.
2. Format as an overview table:

Plugin Hive — Swarm Overview

#  | Blueprint      | Task                              | Status    | Created
---|----------------|-----------------------------------|-----------|--------
1  | feature-dev    | Add dark mode toggle to sett...   | buzzing   | 2h ago
2  | bug-fix        | Login fails when email conta...   | completed | 1d ago
3  | security-audit | Scan API routes for injectio...   | failed    | 3d ago

3. If there are active (buzzing) swarms, also call mcp__hive__hive_beekeeper_status to show the last health check summary.

Formatting

• Show relative timestamps when possible (e.g. "2h ago", "1d ago").
• Truncate task descriptions to ~40 chars in table views.
• Use status labels: buzzing, completed, failed, cancelled, paused, blocked.
• For cell status, use bracket indicators: [done], [active], [pending], [failed], [verifying].
• Show cell completion as a ratio (e.g. 3/7 done).

Important

• This is a read-only status check. Do NOT modify anything.
• Do NOT write code or edit files.
