+ ## Usage
- Replace `{agency-root}` with `~/.claude` after installation.
+ ```
+ /dept-status [dept-slug]
+ /dept-status content-creation
+ /dept-status all
+ ```
- ## Argument Resolution
+ ## What It Reads
- | Argument | Action |
- |---|---|
- | `all` | Status for all departments |
- | `[dept-slug]` | Status for one department |
- | no arg | Fail: "Pass a dept slug or 'all'" |
+ 1. `~/.agency/agents/{dept}/state/dept-state.md` — primary snapshot
+ 2. `~/.agency/agents/{dept}/state/active-coords.md` — if `active-coords` field is non-empty
+ 3. `~/.agency/agents/{dept}/state/incoming/` — file count only (no content)
- ## Step 1 — Read State
+ ## Output Format
- For each target department, read in parallel:
- 1. `{dept-path}/state/dept-state.md`
- 2. `{dept-path}/state/active-coords.md` (last 10 lines only)
- 3. `{dept-path}/scratch/dept-scratch.md` (if exists — means a session is active)
+ ```
+ DEPT STATUS — {dept}
+ Head: {head-agent-name}
+ Last updated: {YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM}
- ## Step 2 — Output Digest
+ Priority: {current-priority}
+ Active coords: {n — DC names or "none"}
+ Active pipelines: {pipeline names or "none"}
+ Open issues: {issue slugs or "none"}
+ Blocked on: {description or "none"}
+ Incoming tasks: {n pending or "none"}
- **Single department format:**
+ Notes: {notes field from dept-state}
+ ```
+ If `active-coords.md` exists and was read:
```
- ═══ {DEPARTMENT NAME} ({abbr}) ═══
- Lead: {lead name}
- Updated: {timestamp from dept-state}
- Active Pipelines: {list or "none"}
- Active Coords: {list with state or "none"}
- Open Issues: {list or "none"}
- Member Alerts: {list or "none"}
- Next Focus: {value}
- Blockers: {value}
- Session Active: {yes if dept-scratch.md exists, no otherwise}
- ═══════════════════════════════════
+ Coord detail:
+ DC-{name} | {D3 track} | {State} | since {HH:MM}
+ ...
```
- **All departments format (compact table):**
+ ## Multi-Dept (all)
- ```
- DEPARTMENT STATUS — {date}
+ When called with `all`, reads all departments listed in `ORG.md` and outputs a summary table:
- | Dept | Lead | Pipelines | Coords | Issues | Blockers | Session |
- |------|------|-----------|--------|--------|----------|---------|
- | cc | CCO | 1 active | none | none | none | no |
- | eng | Backend Architect | none | DC-eng-review | none | none | yes |
+ ```
+ DEPT STATUS — ALL
+ | Dept | Priority | Coords | Issues | Incoming |
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
+ | content-creation | ... | 2 | 0 | 1 |
+ | engineering | ... | 0 | 1 | 0 |
...
-
- Legend: Session = dept head scratch file exists (active session)
```
- ## Step 3 — Flag Attention Items
+ ## Notes
- After the digest, if any department has:
- - `blockers` not "none" → flag with warning
- - `open-issues` not "none" → flag with note
- - Active coords in BLOCKED state → flag with warning
- - Updated more than 7 days ago → flag as stale
+ - This skill never spawns agents — it's a read-only diagnostic tool
+ - Use `/dept-resume` to start a dept head session
+ - Use `/dept-save-state` to persist state at session end
- ```
- ATTENTION:
- - {dept}: BLOCKED — {blocker description}
- - {dept}: STALE — last updated {date}
- ```
