Status Reporting

Gather -> aggregate -> present pattern for comprehensive project status across VCS, PRs, issues, CI.

<when_to_use>

• Starting work sessions (context refresh)
• Checking project/team activity
• Understanding PR/stack relationships
• Quick status overview before planning
• Reviewing recent changes across systems
• Understanding blockers

NOT for: deep-dive into specific items, real-time monitoring, single-source queries

</when_to_use>

<core_pattern>

Three-stage workflow:

1. Gather - collect from multiple sources
2. Aggregate - combine, filter, cross-reference by time/stack/status
3. Present - format for scanning with actionable insights

Key principles:

• Multi-source integration (VCS + code review + issues + CI)
• Time-aware filtering (natural language -> query params)
• Stack-aware organization (group by branch hierarchy)
• Scannable output (visual indicators, relative times)
• Actionable insights (highlight blockers, failures)

</core_pattern>

Stage 1: Parse Constraints

Extract time from natural language:

• "last X hours" -> -Xh
