Session Status Skill

Generate consistent navigation breadcrumbs showing current position, takt time, and session metrics.

When to Use

• At START of every Ask/Agent/Plan mode response
• At END of every Ask/Agent/Plan mode response
• When session metrics are needed for Session Journal sync

Phase 1: Gather State

Collect current session state:

Data	Source
Feature name	From init context or branch name
Current phase	DIVERGE / CONVERGE / DEFINE / AGENT
Loop count	Incremented on each user feedback cycle
Progress	Validated items / total items
Duration	Time since phase started
Status	G (flow) / Y (waiting) / R (stopped)

Phase 2: Calculate Takt

Compare duration against targets from 03-shared.mdc:

Phase	Target	Warning	Stop
DIVERGE (per loop)	15min	30min	60min
CONVERGE	20min	40min	90min
DEFINE	10min	20min	45min
Commit (each)	10min	20min	30min

Determine suffix:

• Under target: (none)
• Warning exceeded: !
• Stop exceeded: !!

Phase 3: Format Header

Generate single-line breadcrumb:

Format: [STATUS] | [Feature] | [PHASE_PROGRESS] | L[N] | [X]/[Y] | [TIME]

Examples by phase:

• DIVERGE: G | Collaboration | DIVERGE ###....... | L3 | 5/9 | 18m
• CONVERGE: G | Collaboration | DIVERGE OK | CONVERGE ##.... | L1 | 22m
• DEFINE: G | Collaboration | DIVERGE OK | CONVERGE OK | DEFINE ###.. | L2 | 35m
• AGENT: G | Collaboration | AGENT | C2/5 | 45m
• Warning: Y | Collaboration | DIVERGE ###....... | L3 | 5/9 | 32m!
• Stopped: R | Collaboration | AGENT | JIDOKA STOP

Progress bar: 10 chars, # filled, . empty, proportional to completion.

Phase 4: Format Footer

Generate context-specific footer:

---
Next: [action prompt]

Dynamic prompts by context:

Context	Footer Prompt
DIVERGE with DIG	Provide OK/KO/DIG for: #4, #6, #7
Gate 1 passed	All validated. Say "converge" to proceed.
Gate 2	Choose option: A / B / C
Gate 3	Approve phasing: OK / REORDER / SPLIT
AGENT	Commit 2/5 in progress...
Jidoka stop	Reply with A, B, C, or D
Autonomous	Iteration 3/5...

Phase 5: Track Muda (Silent)

Update session metrics in memory:

Metric	Tracking Rule
Loop count	Increment on user feedback
Waiting time	Time between user responses
Rework	Items DIG'd 3+ times
RED count	qa-commit failures
Escalations	Jidoka Tier 2/3 events

Output Format

## Session Status

**Header:** [formatted header string]
**Footer:** [formatted footer string]

### Metrics (Silent)
- Duration: [N]min
- Loops: [N]
- Rework: [N]
- Waiting: [N]min
- RED count: [N]

Header/Footer Examples

Ask Mode - DIVERGE L3

Header:

G | Collaboration | DIVERGE ###....... | L3 | 5/9 | 18m

Footer:

---
Next: Provide OK/KO/DIG for: #4, #6, #7

Ask Mode - Gate 1 Passed

Header:

G | Collaboration | DIVERGE OK | CONVERGE #......... | L1 | 22m

Footer:

---
Next: All wireframes validated. Say "converge" to proceed.

Agent Mode - Commit in Progress

Header:

G | Collaboration | AGENT | C2/5 | 45m

Footer:

---
Next: Implementing Commit 2: Add workspace membership entity...

Jidoka Stop

Header:

R | Collaboration | AGENT | JIDOKA STOP

Footer:

---
Next: Reply with A (different approach), B (skip), C (pause), or D (abort)

Integration

This skill is invoked by:

• ask.mdc - At start and end of every response
• agent.mdc - At start and end of every response
• plan.mdc - At start and end of every response
• push-pr.mdc - Collects final metrics for session-journal sync

Invocation

Auto-invoked by modes. Manual trigger: "show session status"

Tools Used

(none)	Pure calculation, no external tools
