Conductor Status

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:
