FAQPage Schema

How do I check my Claude Code project status from a STATE.md file?▼

Project status is checked by locating and reading the STATE.md file, typically stored in the .crafter/ directory, and displaying its full contents to summarize active tasks and blockers.

What is the best way to track engineering workflow state for active tasks and blockers?▼

Tracking engineering workflow state involves maintaining a STATE.md file that records recent completions and blockers, which can then be resolved and displayed as a concise project status summary.

How do I migrate STATE.md from a legacy .planning directory to .crafter?▼

Migrating STATE.md involves resolving the legacy .planning/STATE.md path, recognizing it as a fallback, and following migration guidance to move the project state to the modern .crafter/STATE.md location.

Does Crafter status resolution work with legacy project tracking paths?▼

Yes, Crafter status resolution works with legacy paths by falling back to .planning/STATE.md if the modern .crafter/STATE.md file is not found, while prompting the user to migrate.

Why is my project state summary not showing recent completions and blockers?▼

The project state summary will not display correctly if the STATE.md file is missing from both the primary .crafter/ directory and the fallback .planning/ directory, preventing path resolution.
