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
