description	ALWAYS use this when the request matches Conductor Status: Display project status, active tracks, and next actions

Conductor Status

Selective Reading Rule

Start with:

• references/senior-master-standard.md
• references/usage-routing.md
• references/quality-checklist.md

Then load only the inherited docs, scripts, assets, or examples that match the user's actual task.

Display the current status of the Conductor project, including overall progress, active tracks, and next actions.

Use this skill when

• Working on conductor status tasks or workflows
• Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for conductor status

Do not use this skill when

• The task is unrelated to conductor status
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Pre-flight Checks

1. Verify Conductor is initialized:

   • Check conductor/product.md exists
   • Check conductor/tracks.md exists
   • If missing: Display error and suggest running /conductor:setup first

2. Check for any tracks:

   • Read conductor/tracks.md
   • If no tracks registered: Display setup complete message with suggestion to create first track

Data Collection

1. Project Information

Read conductor/product.md and extract:

• Project name
• Project description

2. Tracks Overview

Read conductor/tracks.md and parse:

• Total tracks count
• Completed tracks (marked [x])
• In-progress tracks (marked [~])
• Pending tracks (marked [ ])

3. Detailed Track Analysis

For each track in conductor/tracks/:

Read conductor/tracks/{trackId}/plan.md:

• Count total tasks (lines matching - [x], - [~], - [ ] with Task prefix)
• Count completed tasks ([x])
• Count in-progress tasks ([~])
• Count pending tasks ([ ])
• Identify current phase (first phase with incomplete tasks)
• Identify next pending task

Read conductor/tracks/{trackId}/metadata.json:

• Track type (feature, bug, chore, refactor)
• Created date
• Last updated date
• Status

Read conductor/tracks/{trackId}/spec.md:

• Check for any noted blockers or dependencies

4. Blocker Detection

Scan for potential blockers:

• Tasks marked with BLOCKED: prefix
• Dependencies on incomplete tracks
• Failed verification tasks

Error States

No Tracks Found

================================================================================
                        PROJECT STATUS: {Project Name}
================================================================================

Conductor is set up but no tracks have been created yet.

To get started:
  /conductor:new-track "your feature description"

================================================================================

Conductor Not Initialized

ERROR: Conductor not initialized

Could not find conductor/product.md

Run /conductor:setup to initialize Conductor for this project.

Track Not Found (with argument)

ERROR: Track not found: {argument}

Available tracks:
  - auth_20250115
  - dashboard_20250112
  - nav-fix_20250114

Usage: /conductor:status [track-id]

Calculation Logic

Task Counting

For each plan.md:
  - Complete: count lines matching /^- \[x\] Task/
  - In Progress: count lines matching /^- \[~\] Task/
  - Pending: count lines matching /^- \[ \] Task/
  - Total: Complete + In Progress + Pending

Phase Detection

Current phase = first phase header followed by any incomplete task ([ ] or [~])

Progress Bar

filled = floor((completed / total) * 20)
empty = 20 - filled
bar = "[" + "#".repeat(filled) + ".".repeat(empty) + "]"

Quick Mode

If invoked with --quick or -q:

{Project Name}: {completed}/{total} tasks ({percentage}%)
Active: {trackId} - Task {X.Y}

JSON Output

If invoked with --json:

{
  "project": "{name}",
  "timestamp": "ISO_TIMESTAMP",
  "tracks": {
    "total": N,
    "completed": X,
    "in_progress": Y,
    "pending": Z
  },
  "tasks": {
    "total": M,
    "completed": A,
    "in_progress": B,
    "pending": C
  },
  "current": {
    "track": "{trackId}",
    "phase": N,

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
