conductor-status
Display project status, active tracks, and next actions
Best use case
conductor-status is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt. It is especially useful for teams working in multi. Display project status, active tracks, and next actions
Display project status, active tracks, and next actions
Users should expect a more consistent workflow output, faster repeated execution, and less time spent rewriting prompts from scratch.

# Conductor Status
Display the current status of the Conductor project, including overall progress, active tracks, and next actions.
## Use this skill when
- Working on conductor status tasks or workflows
- Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for conductor status
## Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to conductor status
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
## Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.
## Pre-flight Checks
1. Verify Conductor is initialized:
- Check `conductor/product.md` exists
- Check `conductor/tracks.md` exists
- If missing: Display error and suggest running `/conductor:setup` first
2. Check for any tracks:
- Read `conductor/tracks.md`
- If no tracks registered: Display setup complete message with suggestion to create first track
## Data Collection
### 1. Project Information
Read `conductor/product.md` and extract:
- Project name
- Project description
### 2. Tracks Overview
Read `conductor/tracks.md` and parse:
- Total tracks count
- Completed tracks (marked `[x]`)
- In-progress tracks (marked `[~]`)
- Pending tracks (marked `[ ]`)
### 3. Detailed Track Analysis
For each track in `conductor/tracks/`:
Read `conductor/tracks/{trackId}/plan.md`:
- Count total tasks (lines matching `- [x]`, `- [~]`, `- [ ]` with Task prefix)
- Count completed tasks (`[x]`)
- Count in-progress tasks (`[~]`)
- Count pending tasks (`[ ]`)
- Identify current phase (first phase with incomplete tasks)
- Identify next pending task
Read `conductor/tracks/{trackId}/metadata.json`:
- Track type (feature, bug, chore, refactor)
- Created date
- Last updated date
- Status
Read `conductor/tracks/{trackId}/spec.md`:
- Check for any noted blockers or dependencies
### 4. Blocker Detection
Scan for potential blockers:
- Tasks marked with `BLOCKED:` prefix
- Dependencies on incomplete tracks
- Failed verification tasks

## Error States
### No Tracks Found
```
================================================================================
PROJECT STATUS: {Project Name}
================================================================================
Conductor is set up but no tracks have been created yet.
To get started:
/conductor:new-track "your feature description"
================================================================================
```
### Conductor Not Initialized
```
ERROR: Conductor not initialized
Could not find conductor/product.md
Run /conductor:setup to initialize Conductor for this project.
```
### Track Not Found (with argument)
```
ERROR: Track not found: {argument}
Available tracks:
- auth_20250115
- dashboard_20250112
- nav-fix_20250114
Usage: /conductor:status [track-id]
```
## Calculation Logic
### Task Counting
```
For each plan.md:
- Complete: count lines matching /^- \[x\] Task/
- In Progress: count lines matching /^- \[~\] Task/
- Pending: count lines matching /^- \[ \] Task/
- Total: Complete + In Progress + Pending
```
### Phase Detection
```
Current phase = first phase header followed by any incomplete task ([ ] or [~])
```
### Progress Bar
```
filled = floor((completed / total) * 20)
empty = 20 - filled
bar = "[" + "#".repeat(filled) + ".".repeat(empty) + "]"
```
## Quick Mode
If invoked with `--quick` or `-q`:
```
{Project Name}: {completed}/{total} tasks ({percentage}%)
Active: {trackId} - Task {X.Y}
```
## JSON Output
If invoked with `--json`:
```json
{
"project": "{name}",
"timestamp": "ISO_TIMESTAMP",
"tracks": {
"total": N,
"completed": X,
"in_progress": Y,
"pending": Z
},
"tasks": {

"in_progress": B,
"pending": C
