What problem does it solve?
Development teams require reliable visibility and governance over ongoing development cycles, enabling safe interruption and state preservation for future resumption.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Status mode provides read-only inspection of the current cycle, including cycle ID, start time, task counts (completed, in progress, pending), the current task and gate, and elapsed time.
- Cancel mode mutates cycle state with an optional --force flag, requires confirmation by default, preserves current state for resume, and produces a partial feedback report.
- State discovery checks multiple known locations (docs/ring:dev-cycle/current-cycle.json and docs/ring:dev-refactor/current-cycle.json) to determine if a cycle is active, and gracefully signals when no cycle exists.
- Integrates with existing ring workflows via /ring:dev-status, /ring:dev-cancel, and /ring:dev-cycle commands to support common developer workflows.
Quick Start
Check the current development cycle status with /ring:dev-status, or cancel the active cycle with /ring:dev-cancel [--force] to terminate safely.
