FAQPage Schema
How do I get a read-only project health snapshot without modifying memory bank files?

A read-only project health snapshot aggregates area health, progress, and blockers from memory bank files without modifying any data, providing a safe status overview for quick decision-making.

What is the best way to review project blockers and recent decisions before a planning meeting?

Reviewing project blockers and recent decisions involves parsing session.md and logs to surface obstacles and choices, yielding a structured report that informs planning and follow-up actions.

Can I generate a brief project status overview from memory bank logs?

Yes, a brief project status overview can be generated by running a compact review mode that aggregates staleness indicators and recent activity from logs without deep file modifications.

Does the project review process require specific memory bank files to extract time tracking data?

Yes, the project review process requires reading overview.md, session.md, progress.md, and logs to accurately extract time tracking data, staleness indicators, and current work area statuses.

What are the limitations of using a read-only status review for project management?

The limitation of a read-only status review is that it cannot update memory bank files, meaning users must use separate tools to modify progress logs, resolve blockers, or record new decisions.
