FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a project status dashboard from planning files?

To generate a project status dashboard, the Skill reads planning artifacts like .planning/STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and PROJECT.md to synthesize current phase tracking, blockers, and next actions. It returns a structured summary suitable for standups without modifying any files.

What is the best way to track blockers and next steps in a Towline project?

Tracking blockers and next steps in a Towline project involves reading planning data across STATE.md and ROADMAP.md to identify paused work and dependencies. This approach surfaces clear next-action recommendations for stakeholders in a compact dashboard view.

Can I use this for executive reviews without modifying project files?

Yes, you can use this for executive reviews as it enforces read-only behavior and requires no file modifications. It reads existing planning artifacts to produce a concise status dashboard, ensuring your project state remains untouched during analysis.

Does the status dashboard work with ROADMAP.md and PROJECT.md artifacts?

The status dashboard works directly with ROADMAP.md and PROJECT.md artifacts, reading these planning files to extract phase tracking and dependency information. It synthesizes data from these sources to provide an at-a-glance status view for rapid decision making.

Why does my project status summary show paused work and dependencies?

Your project status summary shows paused work and dependencies because the Skill actively identifies these elements from your planning artifacts to surface clear next actions. Reading STATE.md and ROADMAP.md allows it to highlight blockers affecting your current and upcoming phases.
