FAQPage Schema
How do I get an instant project status overview without manually checking notes and GitHub?

Project status summarizes your current progress, last activity, and priorities by analyzing persistent logs and GitHub data. Ask "What should I work on?" to receive an immediate formatted report with top three recommended next steps, eliminating manual context-gathering across sessions.

Can I automatically maintain a project backlog across work sessions?

Yes. Project status maintains persistent backlog files—log.md, ideas.md, and todo.md—that automatically track your activity and tasks between sessions, ensuring continuous project context without manual note-taking.

How does project status decide what I should work on next?

Project status analyzes your activity logs and backlog items to recommend the most impactful next steps, surfacing priorities intelligently rather than listing tasks in arbitrary order.

Does project status work with GitHub repositories?

Yes. Project status integrates with GitHub via the gh CLI to pull latest repository context and team contributions, keeping your status report up-to-date with external changes.

What files do I need to set up before using project status?

Project status requires persistence/log.md, ideas.md, and todo.md files for tracking activity and backlog data. The Skill manages these files automatically once created, so minimal setup is needed beyond initial file creation.

Can I use project status without the GitHub CLI installed?

No. Project status depends on the gh CLI tool as a prerequisite for GitHub integration. Install gh to enable repository context synchronization and complete status reporting.
