specrew-where
Type: Operational Skill
Schema: v1
Status: Active
Namespace: /specrew
Canonical command: /specrew-where
Purpose
Show the current Specrew project status dashboard — the "where am I?" velocity view for the active feature and iteration.
When to Use
- When a contributor wants to know the current project status, active feature, and iteration state.
- When checking progress against iteration capacity.
- When troubleshooting stale or unexpected lifecycle state.
- Invoke this skill when the user asks: "Where am I?", "Show me the Specrew dashboard", "What is the current status?", or "What feature is active?"
Boundary Safety
This skill provides read-only status information only. Invoking /specrew-where does not authorize or imply approval to advance any lifecycle boundary. Human review is still required for lifecycle transitions.
Invocation
/specrew-where [--project-path <path>] [--feature <id>] [--iteration <NNN>]
[--compact] [--ascii] [--no-color] [--json]
[--team] [--worktrees] [--recentcount <N>] [--barwidth <N>]
Backed by: specrew where / scripts/specrew-where.ps1
Inputs
| Input | Type | Required | Description |
|---|
--project-path | string | No | Target Specrew project path (defaults to current directory) |
--feature | string | No | Restrict view to a specific feature directory under specs\ |
--iteration | string | No | Restrict view to a specific iteration number |
--compact | flag | No | Emit a compact single-line summary |
--ascii | flag | No | Use ASCII-safe output (no Unicode box-drawing) |
--no-color | flag | No | Suppress color output |
--json | flag | No | Emit machine-parseable JSON output |
--team | flag | No | Include team member status in the view |
--worktrees | flag | No | Include worktree awareness information |
--recentcount | number | No | Number of recent iterations to include (default: 6) |
--barwidth | number | No | Width of progress bar in characters (default: 28) |
Outputs
- Project status dashboard with active feature, iteration state, capacity, and velocity metrics.
- Raw/native output from the underlying
specrew where workflow with only minimal slash-command wrapper context.
