FAQPage Schema
How do I get an overview of all active project statuses from my repository?

To get a project status overview, this skill reads the ideas/CLAUDE.md project index and each project's ideas/[project]/README.md to extract current status and next steps into a concise summary.

Can I aggregate project status data automatically from multiple README files?

Yes, you can automate project status aggregation by triggering this skill with queries like "project overview" to parse metadata from individual project README files and format a quick review.

What file structure do I need to generate a live snapshot of project statuses?

You need an ideas/ repository containing a CLAUDE.md file for the project index and individual ideas/[project]/README.md files for each active project to generate the status snapshot.

Does this project overview tool require any external dependencies to parse repository data?

No external dependencies are required, but the skill needs Read and Glob tools to access file contents, parse the project metadata, and format the summary for quick review.

How do project status summaries handle tracking next steps for multiple active projects?

Project status summaries track next steps by reading the ideas/[project]/README.md for each active project listed in the index, extracting the status and upcoming tasks into a formatted overview.

What are the limitations of using README files for a project status overview?

The overview is limited to projects explicitly indexed in ideas/CLAUDE.md with existing ideas/[project]/README.md files, meaning unindexed projects or missing READMEs will not appear in the status summary.
