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
