/phase-status

A fast orientation dump, the orient step of the issue workflow (.claude/rules/issue-workflow.md). Read-only; it makes no changes. The live state below is injected at invocation time; ground the answer in it rather than in stale conversation memory.

Live state (injected)

The tracker: open GitHub issues (with native relationships)

Each line carries <Type/Priority> (the native issue type and the Priority field, ? where unset), {k/n} sub-issue progress, child-of #parent, and open BLOCKED-by/blocks edges (.claude/rules/issue-relationships.md).

gh api graphql -f query='query($owner: String!, $name: String!) { repository(owner: $owner, name: $name) { issues(first: 100, states: OPEN, orderBy: {field: CREATED_AT, direction: DESC}) { nodes { number title issueType { name } issueFieldValues(first: 10) { nodes { ... on IssueFieldSingleSelectValue { field { ... on IssueFieldSingleSelect { name } } value } } } labels(first: 20) { nodes { name } } milestone { title } parent { number } subIssuesSummary { total completed } blockedBy(first: 30) { nodes { number state } } blocking(first: 30) { nodes { number state } } } } } }' -f owner="$(gh repo view --json owner --jq .owner.login)" -f name="$(gh repo view --json name --jq .name)" --jq '.data.repository.issues.nodes[] | ((.issueType.name // "?") + "/" + ([.issueFieldValues.nodes[] | select(.field.name == "Priority") | .value] | first // "?")) as $tp | ([.labels.nodes[].name] | join(", ")) as $labels | ([.blockedBy.nodes[] | select(.state == "OPEN") | "#\(.number)"]) as $b | ([.blocking.nodes[] | select(.state == "OPEN") | "#\(.number)"]) as $k | "#\(.number)  \(.title)  <\($tp)>  [\($labels)]" + (if .milestone then "  (\(.milestone.title))" else "" end) + (if .parent then "  child-of #\(.parent.number)" else "" end) + (if .subIssuesSummary.total > 0 then "  {\(.subIssuesSummary.completed)/\(.subIssuesSummary.total)}" else "" end) + (if ($b | length) > 0 then "  BLOCKED-by \($b | join(","))" else "" end) + (if ($k | length) > 0 then "  blocks \($k | join(","))" else "" end)'

Steps

1. Summarize the tracker state: which issue is the current focus (pinned, milestone-assigned, or the one the branch implements) and what its stated next action is. For the in-flight issue, run gh issue view <n> --json title,body,comments --jq '.title, .body, (.comments[] | "--- comment ---", .body)' (--comments prints nothing for an issue without comments, issue-workflow.md §The loop) and report the latest status comment and the unchecked ## Acceptance criteria boxes, plus scripts/gh/rel.sh tree <n> for its parent, children, and blockers. Flag any open issue shown BLOCKED-by an open blocker: it is stuck until the blocker closes and is not a pickup candidate (.claude/rules/issue-relationships.md). Flag any open issue shown <?/?> or with a ? half: it lacks its type or priority (it was filed without them), and scripts/gh/fields.sh sets them.
2. Summarize the git state from the injected output: current branch work, uncommitted files, last commits. Flag uncommitted work that looks finished; never leave finished work sitting unmerged. Flag an open pull request without auto-merge armed (gh pr list --json number,autoMergeRequest).
3. If the user asks for the board view, scripts/gh/project.sh board prints the roadmap board grouped by Status, a presentation view over the same issues rather than a second source of truth (.claude/rules/project-board.md); the issue list above stays the working ground truth. Flag any In Progress item nobody is working on (it should be parked back to todo). If the board does not exist yet, the command fails loud; note that and continue.
4. Do not modify any issue or make any commit; this is a read-only status check. If the user wants the next task turned into a work plan, point them at /next-task instead.
