ratchet:status

What problem does it solve?

Provide a concise, human-readable snapshot of a Ratchet project's epic, milestones, issues, debates, and phase progress so teams can quickly understand current work, blockers, and debate activity without running the full pipeline. The Skill surfaces completed, in-progress, pending, and failed/blocked phases and highlights missing or uninitialized state with clear fallback messages.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Workspace and Milestone Overviews: Summarizes epic progress, workspace counts, and per-milestone status across workspaces.
• Issue and Phase Drilldowns: Shows issue-level phase progress (plan, test, build, review, harden) and adapts the display to the project's workflow preset.
• Debate & Guard Visibility: Counts debates, highlights consensus/escalation state, and lists guards and last results to help triage blockers.
• Robust Fallbacks: Detects missing .ratchet directories or plan.yaml and prompts users with clear next steps to initialize or run the system.
• Use Case: A release manager uses this Skill to check which milestones are blocked, which issues are in-progress, and whether any debates or guard failures need human escalation before the next sprint.

Quick Start
