Torque Status

Show the developer a unified view of their project state. No database — read files and git only.

Procedure

Step 1: Detect project type

# Check which system is active
ls -d .planning/ 2>/dev/null && echo "GSD_PROJECT=true" || echo "GSD_PROJECT=false"
ls -d docs/plans/ 2>/dev/null && echo "SP_PROJECT=true" || echo "SP_PROJECT=false"

Step 2: GSD project state (if

.planning/

exists)

Read these files in order (skip any that don't exist):

1. .planning/STATE.md

   — current phase, plan statuses, blockers

2. .planning/ROADMAP.md

   — milestone and phase overview

3. .planning/PROJECT.md

   — project goals and tech stack (first 30 lines)
4. Active phase directory — check

   .planning/phases/N/

   for the current phase:

   • CONTEXT.md

     — what this phase is about

   • PLAN.md

     or

     PLAN-*.md

     — execution plans and their status

   • SUMMARY.md

     files — completed plan summaries

   • VERIFICATION.md

     — verification results if phase is in verify stage

   • HANDOFF.md

     — if work was paused mid-phase

Step 3: SP standalone state (if

docs/plans/

exists, no

.planning/

)

1. Read all

   docs/plans/*.md

   files
2. Check for completion markers (checked boxes

   [x]

   vs unchecked

   [ ]

   )
3. Identify current position in the plan

Step 4: Git context

git branch --show-current
git log --oneline -5
git status --short

Step 5: Conflict detection

Flag if BOTH

.planning/

AND

docs/plans/

exist — this is a misconfiguration. See

references/conflict-resolution.md

.

Step 6: Output format

Print a structured summary:

## Project Status

**Type**: GSD project | SP standalone | No workflow detected
**Branch**: feature/xyz
**Phase**: 3 of 7 — "Authentication system"
**Phase status**: executing (2/4 plans complete)
**Blockers**: None | [list blockers]
**Last activity**: 2h ago — "add jwt middleware"

### Active Plans
- [x] PLAN-01: Database schema (complete)
- [x] PLAN-02: Auth service (complete)
- [ ] PLAN-03: JWT middleware (in progress)
- [ ] PLAN-04: Route guards (pending)

### Suggested Next Action
→ Continue executing PLAN-03, or run `/gsd:resume-work` if context was lost

If no workflow is detected:

## Project Status

**Type**: No workflow detected
**Branch**: main

### Getting Started
- New project? → `/gsd:new-project`
- Existing codebase? → `/gsd:map-codebase`
- Quick standalone work? → Just start with `brainstorming`

Rules

• Never modify any files. This is read-only.
• Show real data from files, not guesses.
• Keep output concise — fit in one screen.
• Always include a suggested next action.
