    <no_tasks>
      This is a read-only skill that only displays status.
      Tasks are NOT required because there are no implementation phases.
      The skill performs a single atomic operation: read and present status.
    </no_tasks>

    <read_only>
      This skill ONLY reads files.
      It does NOT modify any conductor/ files.
      For modifications, use other skills.
    </read_only>

    <comprehensive_scan>
      Parse ALL of:
      - conductor/tracks.md (index)
      - conductor/tracks/*/plan.md (all plans)
      - conductor/tracks/*/metadata.json (state)

    <principle name="Actionable Output" priority="critical">
      Always end with clear "Next Action" recommendation.
      Don't just report status, guide next step.

    <principle name="Blocker Visibility" priority="high">
      Prominently display any blocked tasks.
      Blockers need attention.

<knowledge>
  <progress_calculation>
```
Completion % = (completed_tasks / total_tasks) * 100

Example:
- Total tasks: 15
- Completed: 6
- In Progress: 1
- Pending: 8
- Completion: 40%
```
  </progress_calculation>

  <status_priority>
    Display order by priority:
    1. BLOCKED tasks (need attention)
    2. IN_PROGRESS tasks (current work)
    3. Active tracks summary
    4. Completed tracks (brief)
