/project

Show detailed status of a specific project.

When to Use

• Deep dive into one project's current state
• Before resuming work on a project
• Preparing standup/status for a specific project
• Understanding what was done and what's pending

Arguments

<project-name> - Name or alias of the project (as defined in projects.yaml)

Implementation

1. Resolve project repos

# Read from projects.yaml
cat ~/.varie/manager/projects.yaml

# Find project by name or alias
# Get repos array (single or multiple)

Project can have one or more repos:

# Single repo
webapp:
  repos:
    - path: /path/to/webapp

# Multi-repo
platform:
  repos:
    - path: /path/to/backend
      role: api
    - path: /path/to/frontend
      role: web

If project not found, suggest adding to projects.yaml.

2. Read project structure (for each repo)

Check what exists in each repo:

# Check for archive/
ls <repo>/archive/ 2>/dev/null

# Check for project_plan/
ls <repo>/project_plan/ 2>/dev/null

# Check for issues/
ls <repo>/issues/ 2>/dev/null

# Check for CLAUDE.md
cat <repo>/CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null | head -50

3. Read latest archive entry

# Find most recent feature
LATEST=$(ls -t <repo>/archive/ | head -1)

# Read HANDOVER.md
cat <repo>/archive/$LATEST/HANDOVER.md

# Read TODO.md
cat <repo>/archive/$LATEST/TODO.md

4. Read project plan index

cat <repo>/project_plan/INDEX.md 2>/dev/null

5. Read issues index

cat <repo>/issues/INDEX.md 2>/dev/null

6. Format output

# Project: webapp

**Path:** ~/projects/webapp
**Status:** Active session (ml2abc123)

## Quick Actions

- /route webapp "continue work" - Resume this project
- /dispatch ml2abc123 /work-status - Get live status

If Project Not Found

Project "foo" not found.

Registered projects:
- webapp
- varie
- data-pipeline

Add a new project to ~/.varie/manager/projects.yaml:
```yaml
projects:
  foo:
    path: /path/to/foo
    status: active

## If No Archive/Project Structure

Project: my_project

Path: /path/to/repo Status: No active session

No archive/ or project_plan/ structure found.

This project doesn't use the Varie workflow structure yet. To start tracking:

1. Create archive/ directory
2. Use /work-start to begin tracked work

## Example

**User:** `/project webapp`

Shows full status including current feature, recent progress, project plan, and open issues.

**User:** `/project character` (using alias)

Resolves alias from projects.yaml, shows same detail.
