Maestro Status

Report the current state of all Maestro artifacts.

Sections

1. Plans

List all files in .maestro/plans/:

• File name
• First line (title)
• Last modified date

If empty, report "No plans found. Run /design to create one."

1.5. Archive

List all files in .maestro/archive/:

• File name
• First line (title)
• Last modified date

If empty, report "No archived plans."

1.6. Context

List all files in .maestro/context/:

• File name
• First line (title)
• Last modified date

If empty, report "No project context. Run /setup to create."

2. Drafts

List all files in .maestro/drafts/:

• File name
• First line (title)
• Last modified date

If empty, report "No active drafts."

3. Active Tasks

Run TaskList to check for any active task lists:

• Show task count by status (pending, in_progress, completed)
• List any blocked tasks

If no tasks, report "No active task lists."

4. Wisdom

List all files in .maestro/wisdom/:

• File name
• First line (title)
• File size

If empty, report "No wisdom accumulated yet. Complete a /work cycle to start learning."

4.5. Research

List all files in .maestro/research/:

• File name
• First line (title)
• Last modified date

If empty, report "No research sessions. Run /research <topic> to start one."

4.6. Notepad

Check if .maestro/notepad.md exists:

• If it exists, show each section header and bullet count:
  • ## Priority Context — N items
  • ## Working Memory — N items
  • ## Manual — N items
• If any priority items exist, display them (these are injected at session start)

If file doesn't exist, report "No notepad. Run /note <content> to start."

5. Handoffs

List all files in .maestro/handoff/:

• File name
• Topic and status from JSON content

If empty, report "No active handoffs."

If any handoff has status: "designing", highlight it: "Design in progress for {topic} — started {timestamp}."

5.5. Worktrees

Check for active Maestro worktrees:

git worktree list --porcelain

Filter for worktrees on maestro/* branches (these are Maestro-created worktrees).

For each Maestro worktree, report:

• Worktree path
• Branch name
• Cross-reference with handoff files (check if any .maestro/handoff/*.json has matching worktree_path or worktree_branch)

If no Maestro worktrees found, report "No active Maestro worktrees."

6. Teams

Check for active teams:

ls ~/.claude/teams/ 2>/dev/null

Report any active team directories.

6.5. Trace

Check trace log state:

ls -la .maestro/trace.jsonl 2>/dev/null

If .maestro/trace.jsonl exists, report:

• File presence
• Event count using:

  wc -l .maestro/trace.jsonl
  

If missing, report "No trace log found."

6.6. PSM Sessions

Check PSM session state:

ls -la ~/.maestro-psm/sessions.json 2>/dev/null

If ~/.maestro-psm/sessions.json exists, report active session count from .sessions entries:

jq '.sessions | length' ~/.maestro-psm/sessions.json

If missing, report "No PSM sessions state found."

7. Next Steps

Based on the state discovered above, suggest the most relevant next action:

State	Suggestion
Plans exist + no active tasks	Cross-reference .maestro/handoff/*.json for a handoff with status: "complete" whose plan_destination matches an existing plan. If found: "Ready to execute: {plan title}. Run /work to start, or claude "/work" for a fresh session." If no matching handoff: "Ready to execute. Run /work to start."
Wisdom exists + no active tasks	"Previous cycle complete. Run /design for next iteration or /review to verify."
Active teams present	"Workers may be running. Run /reset if stuck."
Worktrees exist + no active tasks	"Worktrees may be from completed sessions. Run /reset to clean up."
Handoff with status "designing"	"Design in progress. Run /design to continue or /reset to clean up."
Drafts exist + no plans	"Interview was interrupted. Run /design to continue or /reset to start fresh."
Archive has items + no active plans	"Previous plans archived. Run /design for next iteration."
No context files exist	"Run /setup to scaffold project context (product, tech stack, guidelines)."
Empty state (no plans, drafts, tasks, wisdom)	"Get started: Run /setup-check, then /design <your request>."

Display all matching suggestions. Multiple states can apply simultaneously.
