status

Prompt file imported from panpreeyakon/virtual-em-public (.claude/commands/status.md). Copyright stays with the author.

Show a dashboard across all active workstreams.

What to do

1. Read every workstreams/*/state.md file.
2. For each workstream, extract: name, phase, next milestone, and count of open items in "What we don't know" (unchecked checkboxes).
3. Read every workstreams/*/timeline.md to flag approaching deadlines (within 7 days).
4. Display the dashboard in this format:

WORKSTREAMS
===========
1. [Display name]    [Phase]     Next: [milestone + date]   [flag]
2. [Display name]    [Phase]     Next: [milestone + date]   [flag]
...

CROSS-WORKSTREAM
================
- [Connection from workstream A that affects workstream B]
- [Shared data needs, overlapping analyses, etc.]

URGENT
======
- [Anything due within 3 days]
- [Open questions that block deliverables]

Flags

Use these flags based on workstream health:

• No open data gaps and on track → ✓ On track
• Has open data gaps → ⚠️ N open data gaps
• Approaching deadline (within 7 days) with unresolved blockers → 🔴 [deadline] — [blocker]
• On hold → Waiting: [what it's waiting for]

Cross-workstream connections

Read the "Connections to other workstreams" section from each state.md. Deduplicate — if workstream A references B and B references A for the same thing, show it once.

Also look for implicit connections:

• Shared stakeholders across workstreams (compare stakeholders.md files)
• Similar data needs (compare "What we don't know" sections)
• Timeline conflicts (deliverables due at the same time across workstreams)

If no workstreams exist

Say: "No active workstreams. Use /engage [topic] to start one."

After displaying

If you notice anything worth flagging — a deadline conflict, an unanswered question that's been open for more than a week, a connection nobody's surfaced yet — add it at the bottom under a "Things I'd flag" section. This is the proactive EM instinct: don't just report status, add judgment.

Usage logging

Log this command invocation to logs/usage.jsonl:

{"command": "status", "timestamp": "[ISO 8601]", "workstream_count": N}
