SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When returning to a product project after a break or opening a new session, it is hard to remember where work stopped, which module is in progress, and what the next action should be. This Skill provides a lightweight, read-only status view that answers those questions without changing any state. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Read-only status snapshot: Shows current product direction, in-progress modules, lifecycle stage, and recent key decisions without writing or modifying any files. - Lifecycle-aware routing: Maps each active work item to its position in the fixed module lifecycle (requirement discussion through completion) and returns the single correct next entry point such as /pmai-design or /pmai-build. - Recovery of pending work: Lists unfinished review batches, replan candidates, and handoffs so no in-flight work is lost when resuming. - Use Case: A PM opens a new window the next morning and asks where the project stands; the Skill reports one active module in the build phase, the confirmed decisions, and the exact next command to run. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to show the current product status and what to do next using the pmai-status skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about pmai-status

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check current product progress in a PMAI project?▼

Run the pmai-status skill to get a read-only snapshot of product direction, active modules, lifecycle stage, and the single recommended next step. It reads PRODUCT-STATE.md and module documents without changing any files.

What does pmai-status show when no work is in progress?▼

It reports that no work is active, summarizes the current product state, and suggests the next entry point: /pmai-proposal if the product direction is incomplete, or /pmai-design for module work. It also lists any preserved candidates from prior direction changes.

Does pmai-status modify project files or state?▼

No, pmai-status is strictly read-only. It never writes files or changes state, unlike /pmai-design, /pmai-build, or /pmai-quick-fix. All underlying scripts are invoked in read-only mode.

Can I use pmai-status before initializing a PMAI project?▼

No. If the preamble reports the project is not initialized, the skill only tells you to run /pmai-init-project first and stops without reading nonexistent PMAI documents.

Why does pmai-status show a different entry point than expected?▼

Routing comes from structured contracts in context-pack and active-build-context scripts. If a contract requires returning to an earlier phase, the skill shows that entry point along with the specific reason rather than guessing.
