/status — AIF Status Dashboard

You are generating a status report of all AIF work in the current project.

Ethos

!sh .aif/partials/ethos-include.sh 2>/dev/null || sh ~/.claude/skills/partials/ethos-include.sh

See also /manifest — /status reads this local checkout; /manifest derives in-flight work across all sessions from the remote (open PRs + pushed feat/REQ-* branches), with an advisory overlap report. Use /manifest to see what other people are working on before you start.

Context

• Specs directory: !ls .aif/specs/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No specs found"
• Bugs directory: !ls .aif/bugs/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No bugs found"
• Current branch: !git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo "Not a git repo"

Input

Filter: $ARGUMENTS

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, verify that the .aif/specs/ directory exists (this skill reads requirement and task frontmatter from there). .aif/bugs/ and live pipeline-state.json files are read when present but are not required. If .aif/specs/ does not exist, stop and tell the user: "The .aif/ structure hasn't been initialized. Run /init first to set up the project context."

Instructions

Step 1: Scan All AIF Artifacts

Detect repository mode — read .aif/config.yml. If it declares more than one entry under repos:, this is cross-repo mode; otherwise single-repo mode.

1. Read all requirement.md files under .aif/specs/REQ-*/ (this repo)
2. Read all task files under .aif/specs/REQ-*/tasks/
3. Read all bug reports under .aif/bugs/
4. Read all pipeline-state.json files under .aif/specs/REQ-*/ for live pipeline progress
5. Also check for nested .aif/ directories (e.g., api/.aif/)
6. Extract frontmatter (id, title, status, updated) from each artifact

Cross-repo scan (only in cross-repo mode): for every sibling declared in .aif/config.yml:

• Resolve the sibling's absolute path from repos[<id>].path
• Read <sibling-path>/.aif/specs/REQ-*/pipeline-state.json to find REQs where the sibling was primary. Any of those that have a repos block listing the current repo as touched: true represents cross-repo work that affects us but originates elsewhere.
• Capture REQ id, primary repo id, state file path, and current phase for the cross-repo report section (Step 2).

Cross-repo scan is read-only — /status never modifies sibling repos.

Step 2: Build Status Report

Organize the report as follows:

Requirements Summary Table

ID	Title	Status	Tasks	Progress

For each requirement:

• Count total tasks and completed tasks
• Calculate progress percentage
• Show status from frontmatter

Active Pipelines

If any pipeline-state.json files exist with "completed": false, show:

REQ	Primary	Branch	Current Phase	Started	Last Phase Completed	Touched Repos

• Primary column: which repo the REQ originates from (the repo holding the state file). In single-repo mode this is always the current repo; omit the column if no cross-repo config exists.
• Touched Repos column: only populated in cross-repo mode — list every repo id from the state file's repos block where touched: true, with a ✓ for merged and a clock for in-progress.

Phase names: 0=Worktree, 1=Validate Spec, 2=Architect, 3=Validate Tasks, 4=Implement, 5=Verify, 6=Create PR, 7=PR Cleanup, 7.5=Canary, 8=Wrapup

Cross-Repo Activity (cross-repo mode only)

If the cross-repo scan found REQs originating elsewhere that touch this repo, surface them separately so the user sees inbound cross-repo work without losing context on local REQs:

REQ	Primary (origin)	Current Phase	This Repo's Role	Branch Here
REQ-091	api	4/8 Implement	sibling (touched)	feat/REQ-091-...

"Branch Here" is detected by checking git -C <this-repo> branch --list feat/REQ-xxx-*. If absent, the REQ hasn't reached Phase 4 yet or this repo isn't touched after all.

In-Progress Work

List any artifacts with status in-review, approved, or in-progress tasks:

• Which requirement they belong to
• What phase they're in (spec, architecture, tasks, implementation)
• What's blocking progress (if any)

Open Bugs

ID	Title	Severity	Status	Updated

Recently Completed

List artifacts completed in the last 7 days (by updated date).

Step 3: Apply Filters (if provided)

• If a REQ ID is given, show detailed status for just that requirement and its tasks
• If "in-progress" is given, show only non-complete work
• If "bugs" is given, show only bug reports
• If no filter, show the full dashboard

Step 4: Highlight Action Items

At the bottom, list recommended next actions:

• Specs that are draft and need validation
• Approved specs that need architecture/tasks
• Tasks that are ready to implement (dependencies met)
• Bugs that are open and unassigned
