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
- Verify Conductor is initialized:
- Check conductor/product.md exists - Check conductor/tracks.md exists - If missing: Display error and suggest running /conductor:setup first
- 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

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 + PendingPhase 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
