FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a quick project status dashboard from markdown task lists?

To generate a project status dashboard, the Skill parses an optimus-tasks.md file and reads state.json to render a compact summary of task statuses and version progress. It highlights Active, Ready, Blocked, and Done tasks with concise annotations.

Can I view task statuses for specific project versions instead of the entire backlog?

Yes, you can view task statuses for specific project versions. The dashboard applies to active, upcoming, or all versions based on your chosen scope, and optionally annotates cross-version dependencies.

Do I need an optimus-tasks.md table to track version progress and task statuses?

Yes, an optimus-tasks.md table is required to track version progress. The Skill parses this file alongside state.json to extract and display current task statuses for your project dashboard.

What is the best way to prepare for daily standups using agile task status reports?

The best way to prepare for standups is to request a quick status update. The Skill renders an at-a-glance dashboard summarizing blocked and active tasks, reducing manual reporting overhead.

How do I persist a default scope for my agile project status dashboard?

To persist a default scope for your project status dashboard, you can opt to save your preference. The Skill writes your chosen default scope directly to the .optimus/config.json file.

Why is my task status dashboard not showing the correct state for my markdown tasks?

Your task status dashboard may show incorrect states if the source data is misaligned. The Skill relies on a properly formatted optimus-tasks.md table and accurate task statuses in state.json to render correctly.
