Proposal List

Lists all proposals with status, source, and age. Auto-detected proposals (from the learning loop) are listed first.

Step 0 — Channel reply

If this skill was invoked from a channel-arrived message (the inbound prompt contains a <channel source="..."> tag), reply via that channel's reply tool and render as Suggestion cards (§4a) instead of the table (§4). Otherwise emit the table to conversation as usual.

Plan

1. Read the proposals index

Read .claude-code-hermit/state/proposals-index.json — a derived cache of every proposal's frontmatter (id, status, source, category, title, created, session, responded, plus a legacy flag), refreshed on every proposal write by the generate-summary PostToolUse hook. (fresh read — re-read the file now; do not reuse a value cached in context from before compaction.)

Rebuild the index first, then read it:

bun ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/proposals-index.ts .claude-code-hermit

The rebuild reads frontmatter off disk — idempotent, no LLM/token cost — so run it unconditionally rather than trusting an mtime heuristic: it also catches out-of-band proposal writes and deletions that the generate-summary hook (which fires only on Edit/Write tool payloads) never sees. The script prints SKIP|no proposals dir when there are no proposals — in that case respond "No proposals found." and stop. If the index's count is 0, also respond "No proposals found." and stop.

Do not read proposal bodies. Every field the table needs is in the index row; this is the whole point of the index (reading a dozen full bodies costs ~22K tokens for a table that needs only frontmatter). Read a specific body only if the operator asks to see one proposal's detail.

2. (metadata is already parsed)

The index rows are the parsed metadata — use them directly. Legacy pre-frontmatter proposals appear with legacy: true and whatever fields could be recovered (source defaults to manual).

3. Calculate age

Determine the current session number from the highest S-NNN-REPORT.md in sessions/. Calculate age as the difference between current session number and the session number in the proposal's Session field. Display as "N sessions ago".

4. Display as table (terminal path)

| ID                                       | Status   | Source        | Category    | Age          | Summary                          |
|------------------------------------------|----------|---------------|-------------|--------------|----------------------------------|
| PROP-020-tag-correlation-103612          | proposed | auto-detected | improvement | 1 session    | [tag-correlation] Frontend blocked |
| PROP-019-test-env-recurring-091455       | proposed | auto-detected | routine     | 3 sessions   | [blocker] Test env recurring     |
| PROP-015-refactor-auth-module-142233     | proposed | manual        | improvement | 12 sessions  | ⚠ Refactor auth module           |
| PROP-012                                 | accepted | manual        | capability  | 20 sessions  | Add retry logic (legacy ID)      |

Ordering:

1. Auto-detected proposals first (Source: auto-detected), then manual
2. Within each group: open (proposed) first, then accepted, then deferred
3. Within each status: newest first

Stale proposals (open for 10+ sessions) get a ⚠ prefix on the summary line.

4a. Suggestion cards (channel path)

Never surface PROP-NNN, the slug/timestamp, category, or tier in channel text — the operator sees a plain suggestion number and a summary. Derive #N by stripping leading zeros from the proposal's PROP-(\d+) integer (e.g. PROP-014-tag-correlation-103612 → #14); this is a deterministic reverse-lookup (proposal-act's resolution algorithm already accepts an unpadded PROP-N), not a separate stored counter.

For each status: proposed proposal (same ordering as §4), render one card:

Suggestion #14 — Frontend blocked on tag correlation.
Reply YES to go ahead, LATER to hold, NO to drop it.

Derive the summary from the title with any [category]/[blocker] bracket prefix stripped. Drop the stale-⚠ marker; if a card is stale, fold it into the summary in plain words instead ("been waiting a while").

Non-open proposals (accepted/deferred, plus dismissed/resolved when "show all" was asked — §5) that the operator explicitly asked to see render as one plain line each, no reply prompt, stating the status in plain words:

Suggestion #12 — Add retry logic (already accepted).

If more than one Suggestion card is shown, add one footer line: "Reply with the number if you mean a specific one, e.g. 'YES #14'." Omit the footer when only one card is shown — a bare YES/LATER/NO is unambiguous.

5. Default filtering

By default, hide proposals with status dismissed or resolved.

If the operator asks to "show all", "include dismissed", "show everything", or similar: include all proposals regardless of status. Dismissed and resolved proposals appear at the bottom of the table with their status visible.

6. Offer actions (terminal path only)

After displaying the table, offer:

Actions: /proposal-act accept [ID] | /proposal-act defer [ID] | /proposal-act dismiss [ID]

If there are stale proposals, add: "⚠ N proposal(s) have been open for 10+ sessions. Consider reviewing or dismissing."

On the channel path (§4a), the card's own YES/LATER/NO prompt is the action offer — no slash-command footer.
