Summarizing feature progress involves reading workplan.md for current phase and next tasks, checking GitHub issues for blockers, and reviewing DEVELOPMENT-NOTES.md for historical context to produce a status report with recommended next steps.

The best way to track feature status is by reading DEVELOPMENT-NOTES.md for historical decisions, workplan.md for progress metrics, and README.md for scope, delivering a concise report with current state and proposed approach for the session.

Yes, you can generate a status report by reading workplan.md to identify completed and uncompleted tasks, checking open GitHub issues for blockers, and outputting a concise report with feature name, branch, progress, and proposed approach.

Yes, it works without a dedicated project management platform by reading workplan.md, DEVELOPMENT-NOTES.md, and README.md alongside GitHub issues to coordinate feature work and present a clear status without external tooling.

To plan next steps, read the workplan to identify the next uncompleted task, summarize open GitHub issues for blockers or dependencies, and propose an approach for the session based on the combined context from workplan and notes.

Avoid markdown workplans for feature tracking if your project requires real-time multi-user collaboration or centralized dashboard analytics, as this approach relies on reading static files like workplan.md and DEVELOPMENT-NOTES.md rather than live data.
