Review Project State

Use this skill to inspect a workflow project before task work. This is the project dashboard: load everything before recommending or editing anything. Use it as mandatory preflight when a project already exists, the task is risky, or the next action could conflict with unfinished work.

Skill-First Runtime Rule

Follow root AGENTS.md: this foundry operates through skill-first workflow surfaces for Codex and other agent runtimes. Query helpers may be used to inspect JSON state, but they do not replace $skill-name task flow.

Required Reading

Before acting:

1. Read root AGENTS.md.
2. Read .agents/skills/initiate-task/SKILL.md.
3. Read references/matt-pocock-skills.md.
4. Read registry/agents-md.json.

Inputs

Require:

• project:<slug>

If missing, ask for the project and stop.

Load Everything

Load, load, load, load, load.

1. Read projects/<project-slug>/project.json.
2. Read projects/<project-slug>/AGENTS.md.
3. Read projects/<project-slug>/tasks/index.json.
4. Query the registered project-instruction state through the read-only state helper when available.
5. Query the project task list through the same helper when available.
6. Read every task JSON listed in the index whose status is not done.
7. Read recently completed task summaries from the index.
8. Check missing task files, invalid states, dependency conflicts, stale linked artifacts, and tasks in the same Matt phase.

Output Contract

Report:

PROJECT
- slug
- project_state
- goal / domain
- ECC concepts applied
- registered AGENTS.md path

TASK STATE
- active
- blocked
- in-progress
- todo
- tracker-maintenance
- recently completed

CONFLICTS
- dependency conflicts
- related task conflicts
- missing artifacts or task files
- unregistered or misplaced AGENTS.md files

NEXT SAFE ACTION
- one exact skill: $initiate-task, $continue-task, $setup-workflow-project,
  or a tracker-state fix

Do not edit project state from this skill unless the user explicitly asks for a fix after reviewing the report.
