Command definition
instinct-status.mdname: instinct-status
description: Show learned instincts (project + global) with confidence
command: true
Instinct Status Command
Shows learned instincts for the current project plus global instincts, grouped by domain.
Implementation
Run the instinct CLI, resolving the active ECC plugin root the same way `hooks/hooks.json` and the other slash commands (`/sessions`, `/skill-health`) do — env var → standard install → known plugin roots → plugin cache → fallback. This avoids the divergence that happens when `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` is unset while a legacy `~/.claude/skills/continuous-learning-v2/` directory still exists (#2037).

/instinct-status
What to Do
1. Detect current project context (git remote/path hash) 2. Read project instincts from `~/.claude/homunculus/projects/<project-id>/instincts/` 3. Read global instincts from `~/.claude/homunculus/instincts/` 4. Merge with precedence rules (project overrides global when IDs collide) 5. Display grouped by domain with confidence bars and observation stats

trigger: when handling user inputYour agent can write code, but ECC gives it a coordinated engineering system and toolbox: it plans before it builds, verifies changes with tests, reviews its own work from a fresh context, remembers what matters, and turns repeated wins into reusable skills
