Show where you are in the workflow and what to do next — use for progress checks and orientation.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Project Status Dashboard
## Overview
Display current project status, roadmap progress, blockers, and intelligent next-action suggestions based on workflow state.
**Core principle:** Read state → Display dashboard → Route intelligently.
---
## When to Use
**Use this skill when user asks:**
- "What's the status?" or "Show me progress"
- "Where am I in the workflow?"
- "What should I do next?"
- "What's the current phase?"
- "Are there any blockers?"
- "What have I been working on?" or "Summarize recent work"
- "Update project memory" or "Update CLAUDE.md"
**Do NOT use for:**
- Creating new projects (use /octo:embrace)
- Modifying state (use octo-state.sh write_state)
- Detailed phase planning (use flow-* skills)
---
## The Process
### Phase 1: Check Project Initialization
#### Step 1: Verify .octo/ Directory Exists
```bash
# Check if project is initialized
if [[ ! -d ".octo" ]]; then
echo "No project initialized"
exit 1
fi
```
**If .octo/ does not exist:**
```markdown
## Project Status
**Status:** Not initialized
No Claude Octopus project found in this directory.

How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-status@sha256:e3e9003e5b1086aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.14437ae, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
