f-status

/f-status
skill

Tell you in plain words where things stand and what's next.

On site

Only when you ask. Different from the short status lines at the end of every reply.

It only uses what's in the current session and runs no tools.

When

When you want a plain summary of where things stand.

Say it tap to copy
catch me upwhere are weI'm lostrefresh me

Not forThe 5-line status block every reply ends with (templates/J-STATUS.md).

It's working if
  • It answers at once, without running any tool: no git, no file reads, no subagents.
  • The reply uses up to five blocks in order (where we are, done this session, right now, next, watch out) and skips any that would be empty.
  • It stays around 200 words or fewer.
  • The body has no file paths, command names or commit hashes.
  • "Right now" is a health line naming the scope checked: Healthy, Blocked, Waiting or Unknown.
  • "Next" is one action and says who does it, or reads nothing from you, and the reply ends there.
How to call it

The two forms it takes, shown exactly as the skill lists them.

/f-status              # refresh on the whole session
/f-status <topic>      # narrow to one thread
Common questions
Why won't it check the code or the repo?
It reads only what is already in the session, so it can answer instantly. If it reaches for a tool, the skill has failed.
What if the session was compacted?
It works from the summary and says so in one clause. It never invents details to fill a gap.
Can I narrow it to one thread?
Yes: /f-status <topic> refreshes you on that thread only.
Is it the same as the status block at the end of every reply?
No. That 5-line block comes from templates/J-STATUS.md. This is a fuller catch-up you ask for when you step back or come back lost.
Will it reopen decisions?
No. A choice you already made is stated as a fact, not an option, and a settled caveat isn't repeated.
