SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the lack of visibility into project status by providing a real-time, read-only ASCII dashboard that tracks progress against defined phases, tasks, and phase gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Progress Tracking: Aggregates data from TASKS.md, git history, and project metadata to visualize completion percentages.
  • Health Monitoring: Displays environment health, cost tracking, and active bug status in a single view.
  • Use Case: Use this during a development session to quickly verify which tasks are completed, identify blocked phase gates, and see the current project burn rate without leaving the terminal.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to show the current project progress by typing show progress in the chat interface.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track project progress and build status in the terminal?

Track project progress by generating a real-time ASCII dashboard that parses task lists, git logs, and cost history files. This provides a high-level overview of build phases, task completion percentages, and environment health directly in your terminal.

Can I monitor environment health and cost tracking without leaving the terminal?

Yes, you can monitor environment health, cost tracking, and active bug status in a single view. The dashboard aggregates this data from project metadata files, providing a read-only summary without requiring you to leave the terminal interface.

What is an ASCII dashboard for automated progress tracking?

An ASCII dashboard for automated progress tracking is a text-based interface that visualizes completion percentages and phase gates. It operates by parsing task lists and git history to provide a real-time, high-level status overview of your development session.

Do I need special dependencies to generate a project status overview?

No special dependencies are required. The dashboard requires only read-only access to the project directory and standard shell utilities to aggregate data from files like TASKS.md and git logs, ensuring a lightweight setup.

How do I identify blocked phase gates during a development session?

Identify blocked phase gates by viewing the dashboard, which summarizes project build progress against defined phases and tasks. It highlights completion statuses and active issues, allowing you to quickly verify which gates are currently blocked.

Does the gk-progress dashboard modify project files when tracking status?

No, the gk-progress dashboard operates with read-only access to the project directory. It strictly parses task lists, git logs, and cost history files to display the status overview without modifying any underlying project files.
