status-matrix Print one matrix of everything in flight: tasks, workflows, background jobs, with confidence and break risk per item. Trigger on /status-matrix, "status", "übersicht", "wo stehen wir", or what is done, left or running.

One-shot overview, no side effects: this skill reads state and reports it. It never edits files, stages, commits, deploys, or starts work — the operator decides what to act on after reading the matrix.

Collect the state

Gather in parallel, skip any source the session does not have, and never invent a row for a source you could not read:

  1. Tasks — the session's todo list, the operator's stated goals this session, and any requirement or plan documents the work follows.
  2. Working tree — git status --short and git log --oneline -10: uncommitted files are open work, commits since the branch point are closed work. Untracked files count as open.
  3. Running — background bash jobs, spawned agents not yet reported, scheduled /loop wake-ups, and remote runs (CI, deploys). Poll their live state; a job you started is not "running" because you started it.
  4. Remote — open PRs and issues for the branch, and their check conclusions, when a forge CLI is available.

The matrix

One table, most-blocking first, one row per item:

| Item | State | Conf. | Break risk | Evidence / next step |

  • State: open, running, blocked, done. done means verified — a passing run, a green check, a reproduction that now succeeds. Work that merely looks finished is open.
  • Conf. and Break risk: two separate percentages per the confidence skill — probability the item does what it claims, and probability it breaks something else. Only for rows that changed something; — for pure observation rows.
  • Evidence / next step: for done, the strongest proof line (what ran, what it returned). For everything else, the single next action.

Then at most three lines below the table:

  • Blocked on: what needs the operator (a decision, a credential, an approval) — omit when nothing does.
  • Residuals: what keeps the lowest confidence number below 100.
  • Running: what will report back on its own, so the operator does not wait on it manually.

Rules

  • Cover everything in scope, including work the operator did not ask about — a forgotten background job or an unpushed commit is exactly what the matrix exists to surface.
  • Report what the poll returned, never a predicted result for work still in flight; a running item has no confidence number yet.
  • Compress: one row per item, no per-item paragraphs. If a row needs explaining, the operator will ask.
