FAQPage Schema
How do I check the status of an AI agent planning pipeline?

To check the status of an AI agent planning pipeline, use a status reporting tool to scan the .kimchi/ and .beads/ directories. It identifies completed, in-progress, and not-yet-started stages by checking the existence and modification dates of generated artifacts.

What is the best way to track generated artifacts in a task generation pipeline?

Tracking generated artifacts in a task generation pipeline involves monitoring file existence and modification dates within designated directories. This approach provides an at-a-glance overview of which of the 10 planning stages have successfully completed.

How do I verify if bead conversion and validation are complete?

To verify if bead conversion and validation are complete, check the bead status report. It indicates the total number of generated beads and their current validation status by examining the .beads/ directory artifacts.

Can I see which planning stages are not yet started?

Yes, you can see which planning stages are not yet started by viewing the pipeline visualization. It displays the status of each of the 10 planning stages, clearly identifying completed, in-progress, and not-yet-started phases.

Do I need any external dependencies to monitor pipeline progress?

No external dependencies are needed to monitor pipeline progress. The status check operates independently by directly inspecting the modification dates and presence of generated artifacts within the local .kimchi/ and .beads/ directories.
