SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Keeps plan progress, phase transitions, and metadata in a single, structured JSON file so teams can track work, audit changes, and surface context for tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read/write status.json to store plan state (title, phases, current phase, metadata, timestamps).
  • Manage phase lifecycle: set-phase, update-phase, and automatic progress calculation.
  • Store and retrieve metadata for classification, auditing, and dashboards.
  • Get a combined context (title, current_phase, progress, metadata) for downstream tools.

Quick Start

Create a new plan status with initial phases, then advance the current phase as work progresses.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track plan phases and metadata in a JSON file?▼

Track plan phases and metadata by writing state to a structured status.json file. This approach stores titles, current phases, and audit metadata in a single JSON store for team tracking and dashboard integration.

What is the best way to manage phase lifecycle and calculate progress in a JSON store?▼

Manage phase lifecycle in a JSON store by applying set-phase and update-phase commands. Progress calculates automatically as phases advance, updating timestamps and current phase state for workflow auditing.

Can I use command-line scripts to initialize plans and update status metadata?▼

Use command-line scripts to initialize plans and update status metadata. The skill exposes commands to create plans, set phases, and record metadata, enforcing a JSON schema with title, phases, and timestamps.

How do I get combined context from status.json for downstream dashboards?▼

Get combined context from status.json by retrieving title, current_phase, progress, and metadata together. This exposes a unified context for downstream tools, enabling dashboard visualization and tooling integration.

Does this JSON status tracker require external dependencies?▼

This JSON status tracker requires no external dependencies. It operates independently using scripts to read and write the status.json file, enforcing the schema and managing phase transitions locally.
