Session Status Skill Skill

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:

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

| Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | (none) | Pure calculation, no external tools |
