Study Status

Read-only dashboard — one glance at every local study: wedge, success criteria progress, artifacts on disk, and the next skill the routing table suggests. No file writes, no research, no summary theater.

Time budget: ~1–2 minutes. Scan briefs + artifact presence only — do not read notes.md or anchor sources in depth.

Hard rules

• Read-only — never Write, Edit, or create files. Output lives in chat only.
• No summary theater — table + 2–3 bullets. No essay, no "great progress!" filler.
• Routing fidelity — next-step suggestions must follow AGENTS.md routing (see below). Do not auto-chain skills.
• Wedge in one line — truncate ## Narrow wedge to ≤80 chars for the table; full wedge only if user asks.
• AskUserQuestion — one question per call; title Study Status — {label}.

When to use (vs other skills)

Not auto-chained from any other skill.

Step 0: Scope

Default: current workspace — Glob studies/*/brief.md.

If no briefs found → say so; suggest /bear-hours for a new topic. Stop unless user names another repo path.

Optional global index — after listing local studies, AskUserQuestion:

Title: Study Status — Cross-repo?

Ask: "Inclure les études d'autres repos via ~/.ours-stack/studies-index.jsonl ?"

Options:

• Oui — afficher slug, titre, repo, chemin (sans ouvrir les briefs externes)
• Non — repo courant seulement
• other

If yes → Read ~/.ours-stack/studies-index.jsonl (or $OURS_STACK_HOME/studies-index.jsonl if set). For each line, parse JSON fields: slug, title, wedge, repo, path. Skip entries whose path is already in the local scan. Do not open external briefs except top 2–3 most relevant (same wedge keyword overlap or user-named slug).

If user names one slug → scan only studies/<slug>/brief.md (still list others only if they ask "all studies").

Step 1: Discover studies

# List local study folders with briefs
Glob studies/*/brief.md

For each match, record slug from the path (studies/<slug>/brief.md).

Step 2: Extract brief fields

Read each studies/<slug>/brief.md. Extract:

Criteria parsing: only lines matching ^- \[[ x]\] inside ## Success criteria until the next ## heading.

Source material heuristic:

Step 3: Detect artifacts

For each studies/<slug>/, Glob or Bash test -f / test -d against the AGENTS.md contract:

Display: compact comma-separated labels in the Artefacts column (e.g. notes, council, mind-map). Use — if none beyond brief.md.

Do not count brief.md as an artifact.

Step 4: Time box signal

Parse Created as YYYY-MM-DD. Interpret Time box heuristically:

If estimated deadline < today (from user_info Today's date) → append ⏰ to the study row in Prochaine étape and mention in bullets ("time box dépassée").

Step 5: Suggest next step (routing)

Apply in order per study — first match wins:

Optional artifacts (never auto-suggest unless user history implies it): /mind-map, /layout-html, /infographic, /memory-palace, /dialogue — mention in bullets only if criteria nearly done and no visual artifact yet.

Step 6: Output format

Main table

| Étude | Wedge | Critères | Artefacts | Prochaine étape |
|-------|-------|----------|-----------|-----------------|
| robotique-assemblage-structurel | comment un robot pose des éléments structurels… | 0/3 | — | `/dense-read` |
| biomimetisme-locomotion-chantier | locomotion pattes sur terrain instable… | 2/3 | notes, council, mind-map, visual, palace | `/dense-read` |

• Étude column: slug (link path studies/<slug>/brief.md if the UI supports it, else plain slug).
• Keep wedge ≤80 chars with … if truncated.
• Prochaine étape: one skill or short phrase; add ⏰ prefix if time box overdue.

Cross-repo appendix (if index included)

Separate small table — no wedge/criteria unless brief was opened:

| Slug | Titre | Repo | Chemin |
|------|-------|------|--------|

Synthesis bullets (2–3 only)

Pick concrete facts, e.g.:

• Closest to done: <slug> — N/M criteria, artifacts: …
• Stalled: <slug> — sources TBD since Created, or time box ⏰
• Dormant: studies with Created >14 days ago and no notes.md

No motivational language. No recommendations beyond the routing table.

Example invocation

/study-status
/study-status robotique-assemblage-structurel
/où j'en suis sur mes études

Privacy

Status output may echo wedge text and criteria from briefs. Do not paste long quotes from notes.md or copyrighted source titles beyond what the brief already lists.
