description: Display current FIRE project status and validate integrity of intents, work items, and runs.
version: 2.0.0

<objective> Display current FIRE project status and validate integrity across state.yaml and file system. Detect inconsistencies and offer interactive resolution. </objective>

<triggers>

• User runs `/specsmd-fire status`
• User asks "what's the status?"
• User asks to "check" or "validate" the project state

</triggers>

<degrees_of_freedom> **LOW** — Report facts accurately. Never auto-fix without user confirmation. </degrees_of_freedom>

<llm critical="true"> <mandate>NEVER auto-fix inconsistencies — ALWAYS ask user first</mandate> <mandate>ALWAYS scan file system — state.yaml may be incomplete</mandate> <mandate>Report ALL findings before offering fixes</mandate> <mandate>state.yaml is source of truth for status — frontmatter may be stale</mandate> </llm>

FIRE Status

**Project**: {project.name} **Workspace**: {workspace.type} / {workspace.structure} **Autonomy**: {workspace.autonomy_bias} **Version**: {project.fire_version}

Intents

{for each intent}

{intent.title} [{intent.status}]

| Work Item | Status | Complexity | Mode | |-----------|--------|------------|------| {for each work_item} | {title} | {status} | {complexity} | {mode} | {/for}

{/for}

Active Runs

{if runs.active is array and has items} {for each active_run in runs.active}

• **Run**: {active_run.id} | **Scope**: {active_run.scope}
• **Current Item**: {active_run.current_item}
• **Started**: {active_run.started}

{/for} {else if active_run exists (legacy singular)}

• **Run**: {active_run.id}
• **Work Item**: {active_run.work_item}
• **Started**: {active_run.started}

{else} No active run. {/if}

Quick Stats

• Intents: {total_intents} ({completed_intents} completed)
• Work Items: {total_work_items} ({completed_work_items} completed)
• Runs: {total_runs} completed
