SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CDS projects often struggle with cross-session context drift, making it hard to track current phase, progress, decisions, and blockers across work sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Summarizes the current CDS context by aggregating bootloader focus (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md) and .context status
  • Presents a concise snapshot including phase, progress, in-progress work, recent decisions, blockers, and last checkpoint
  • Useful for daily standups, project reviews, and onboarding new team members to project state

Quick Start

Run /cds-status to view your current project status.

Frequently Asked Questions about cds-status

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I view my project status across different work sessions?▼

View project status by aggregating bootloader focus files like CLAUDE.md and .context data to produce a consolidated snapshot of phase, progress, and blockers. This synthesizes status across sessions to prevent context drift.

How does CDS status synthesis handle decisions and checkpoints?▼

CDS status synthesis reads .context/DECISIONS.md and .context/CHECKPOINTS/ files to surface recent decisions and checkpoint summaries alongside current progress. It aggregates this structured data into a single status view.

Can I use this status view for daily standups and project reviews?▼

Yes, you can use this status view for daily standups, project reviews, and onboarding. It presents a concise snapshot including phase, in-progress work, and blockers pulled from your project's .context files.

What context files do I need to track project progress and blockers?▼

You need CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md for bootloader focus, plus .context/CURRENT_STATUS.md, .context/DECISIONS.md, and .context/CHECKPOINTS/ files. These structured files provide the data for synthesizing current status and blockers.

Why does cross-session context drift happen in software projects?▼

Cross-session context drift happens when tracking current phase, progress, and decisions across work sessions becomes fragmented. Aggregating bootloader focus and .context status files into a consolidated view resolves this fragmentation.

Does cds-status work with AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md bootloader files?▼

Yes, cds-status works with both AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md bootloader files. It reads these focus files alongside .context status data to summarize the current project state including phase, progress, and blockers.
