What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents agent confusion and lost progress by maintaining an up-to-date, evidence-backed workflow status artifact across DES main phases and support-task cycles for data engineering projects.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Central workflow continuity: Creates or updates a single workflow status file that records current progress, artifact states, open blockers/risks, and the routing decision.
- Evidence-driven status updates: Scans main planning outputs and implementation/support artifacts, then marks items as Done only when evidence exists (otherwise uses Unknown/Missing/Not Applicable appropriately).
- Operational handoff & next step: Produces required next actions and recommends the next skill/route while enforcing guardrails to avoid premature progression (e.g., release before code-review evidence).
Quick Start
Use des-workflow-status-update to scan your current DES planning and implementation artifacts and update _des-output/implementation-artifacts/des-workflow-status.md with the correct next route.
