FAQPage Schema

How do I track project progress and get next step recommendations?▼

To track project progress and get next step recommendations, you can use a tracking skill that compares a project's STATE.md against actual disk files to generate a status summary and a single actionable next step.

How does comparing STATE.md to disk files work for project status reporting?▼

Comparing STATE.md to disk files works for project status reporting by scanning the project's .planning directory to identify completed phases, recent work, and open items, offering an accurate progress overview.

Do I need a .planning directory to generate a GSD project status report?▼

Yes, you need a .planning directory and related files to generate a GSD project status report, because the tracking mechanism requires access to these specific project files to evaluate actual progress.

Can I use this project tracking method to update or modify my project files?▼

No, you cannot use this project tracking method to update or modify project files, because it operates as a read-only tool, with the sole exception of an optional fix to a stale STATE.md file.

What is the best way to find out what to do next in my project management workflow?▼

The best way to determine what to do next in your project management workflow is to analyze your current project state, which provides a primary next step recommendation along with alternative suggestions based on recent work.
