Pipeline Status Check

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Primary Action

1. Analyze the input and context
2. Validate prerequisites are met
3. Execute the core operation
4. Verify the output meets expectations
5. Report results

Check the current project's pipeline status against the ID8Pipeline stages and provide actionable feedback.

What This Skill Does

1. Reads the project's

   PIPELINE_STATUS.md

   (creates one if missing)
2. Reads the pipeline definition from

   ~/.claude/ID8PIPELINE.md

3. Analyzes the codebase to verify claimed stage
4. Reports current status, gaps, and next checkpoint

Usage

/pipeline              # Check status for current project
/pipeline homer        # Check status for specific project
/pipeline advance      # Mark checkpoint cleared, advance to next stage

Instructions

When invoked:

Step 1: Load Pipeline Definition

Read

~/.claude/ID8PIPELINE.md

to understand the 11 stages and their requirements.

Step 2: Find Project Status

Look for

PIPELINE_STATUS.md

in the current repo root. If not found:

• Ask which stage the project is in
• Create the status file

Step 3: Verify Current Stage

Based on the claimed stage, check for evidence:

Stage	Verification
1 (Concept)	One-liner exists in status file
2 (Scope)	"Not building" list defined
3 (Architecture)	Stack documented, diagrams present
4 (Foundation)	DB schema exists, auth configured, deployable
5 (Features)	Feature branches, working code
6 (Integration)	Components connected, data flows
7 (Testing)	Test files exist, coverage report
8 (Polish)	Error handling, loading states
9 (Launch Prep)	Docs, analytics configured
10 (Ship)	Production URL exists
11 (Iterate)	Feedback collection active

Step 4: Report

Output format:

Pipeline Status: {PROJECT}
========================
Current Stage: {N} - {Stage Name}
Status: {ON TRACK | GAPS FOUND | BLOCKED}

Checkpoint: "{checkpoint question}"

Evidence Found:
- [x] {completed item}
- [ ] {missing item}

Gaps:
- {specific gap description}

Next Actions:
1. {action to close gap}
2. {action to close gap}

Git Hygiene:
- Branches: {count} ({clean | needs cleanup})
- Worktrees: {count}

For

/pipeline advance

1. Verify ALL checklist items for current stage
2. If gaps exist, list them and refuse to advance
3. If complete:
   • Update PIPELINE_STATUS.md
   • Run git hygiene check
   • Report next stage checkpoint
