Workflow Status FAQs

Question 1

What are 'natural project termination points'?

Accepted Answer

Termination points are logical stopping places where a project's goals might be met. For example, a learning project might terminate after the 'Project Foundation' phase (localhost), while a production app might continue through to full CI/CD automation.

Question 2

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill whenever you need to check your project's progress, resume work after a break, or determine if you've met the prerequisites for advanced phases like deployment or CI/CD configuration. It is the perfect 'dashboard' for any Claude Code-driven project.

Question 3

Does this skill work with other Claude Code skills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It provides standardized, reusable prerequisite-checking templates that other workflow skills use. This ensures that even if you use skills standalone, they can leverage the context found by the Workflow Status skill to avoid redundant questions.

Question 4

What does the Workflow Status skill do?

Accepted Answer

The Workflow Status skill analyzes your project's .docs/ directory to provide a comprehensive overview of your current development phase. It identifies completed milestones, detects your project mode (Learning, Balanced, or Delivery), and recommends the exact next steps and skills needed to move forward.

Question 5

How does it identify project phases?

Accepted Answer

The skill scans for specific handoff documents such as PROJECT-MODE.md, tech-stack-decision.md, and deployment-log.md. By mapping these files to a 7-phase workflow (from Project Brief to CI/CD), it can accurately report which parts of your project foundation are complete.
