Ralph Specum Status

Use this to report Ralph state across configured spec roots.

Contract

Read
```
.claude/ralph-specum.local.md
```
when present
Default specs root is
```
./specs
```
```
.current-spec
```
lives in the default specs root
Hidden directories do not count as specs

Action

Resolve configured roots.
Read
```
.current-spec
```
to identify the active spec.
- If
```
.current-spec
```
  is missing or empty, report that there is no active spec and continue listing specs across roots.
Read
```
specs/.current-epic
```
when present and summarize epic status.

For each spec directory, inspect:

```
.ralph-state.json
```
```
research.md
```
```
requirements.md
```
```
design.md
```
```
tasks.md
```

If
```
tasks.md
```
exists, count completed and incomplete tasks.
Group results by spec root.
Show the active spec, current phase, backlog state, approval state, granularity when present, and which artifacts exist.

Output

Specs in the default root can be shown by name.
Specs in other roots should include the root suffix for disambiguation.
Include the next likely command when it is obvious.
If an epic is active, include the next unblocked spec.
If approval is pending, explicitly tell the user to approve the current artifact, request changes, or continue to the named next step.
