FAQPage Schema

How do I show TASKS.md progress on the Claude Code status bar?▼

To display TASKS.md progress on the Claude Code status bar, run the provided install.sh script. This attaches a global statusline segment that computes DONE/TOTAL task counts and shows current phase information at a glance.

Can I monitor live task completion status inside Claude Code projects?▼

Yes, you can monitor live task completion status inside Claude Code projects. Per-project hooks trigger updates whenever TASKS.md changes, ensuring your status line segment stays synchronized with your actual project state.

What is the best way to visualize project phase and next task without leaving the editor?▼

Visualizing project phase and next task is best handled by a live statusline segment reading TASKS.md. It surfaces the current phase and identifies the next task for quick triage directly on the status bar.

Do I need to manually update the status line when TASKS.md changes?▼

No, you do not need to manually update the status line when TASKS.md changes. The Skill implements per-project hooks that automatically detect file modifications and refresh the status bar display.

Why does the TASKS.md progress bar not update immediately in real-time?▼

The TASKS.md progress bar caches results for 30 seconds to optimize performance. If the progress bar does not update immediately, wait for the cache interval to expire or trigger a file save to force a hook refresh.
