IJFW Status
Report the following in order. Use positive framing throughout -- no negatives, no "not found".
1. Session Mode
Read .ijfw/config.json if present. Report current mode: Quick / Deep / default. If no config, report "running on smart defaults".
2. Memory Tiers
- Working memory: check
.ijfw/.prompt-check-state -- report "active" if present, "clean slate" if not.
- Project memory: list files in
.ijfw/memory/ -- report count and most recent handoff date. If empty, "ready for first capture".
- Do NOT report global/warm tiers unless explicitly asked.
3. Hook Status
Check .ijfw/.prompt-check-state for "fired": true. Report: "Prompt sharpener active" or "Prompt sharpener standing by".
4. MCP Server
Call ijfw_metrics. Report its output as a single line. If the tool is unreachable, report "Memory server standing by -- run claude mcp add to connect".
5. Last Handoff
Read .ijfw/memory/ for the most recent HANDOFF*.md or handoff*.md. Extract the date and first heading. Report as: "Last session: -- ". If none, "No handoff yet -- first session captures automatically".
Format
Emit as a compact table or 5-line list. No headers larger than ##. End with one receipt line:
IJFW active -- <N> memory entries, <mode> mode, hooks live.
Total output: under 20 lines. Positive framing only.
