Dev Status Report

Scan all features in the

.dev/

folder, generate a status report, and offer to archive completed or stale features.

Agents

This skill uses a specialized agent for status scanning:

feature-batch-scanner (blue) — Scans a batch of feature folders and extracts status for each

Agent definition is in

plugins/dev-workflow/agents/

.

Step 0: Determine Project Root

Before proceeding, determine the project root directory:

If this is a git repository, use:
```
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
```
If not a git repository, use the initial working directory from the session context

Store this as

$PROJECT_ROOT

and use it for all

.dev/

path references throughout this skill.

Step 1: Discover Features

Find all feature directories, excluding the archive folder:

bash

find "$PROJECT_ROOT/.dev" -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -name ".dev" ! -name ".dev-archive" | sort

Also check for archived features:

bash

find "$PROJECT_ROOT/.dev-archive" -maxdepth 1 -type d ! -name ".dev-archive" 2>/dev/null | sort

If no
.dev/
directory exists: Inform the user "No

.dev/

directory found. Use

/dev-plan

to start a new feature."

If
.dev/
exists but has no feature folders: Inform the user "No features found in

.dev/

. Use

/dev-plan

to start a new feature."

Store the list of feature folder paths for the next step.

Step 2: Calculate Batches

Distribute feature folders across agents (maximum 5 agents):

If N ≤ 5 features: Launch N agents, 1 folder each
If N > 5 features: Launch 5 agents, distribute folders round-robin

Batch distribution algorithm (for N > 5):

Agent 1: folders[0], folders[5], folders[10], ...
Agent 2: folders[1], folders[6], folders[11], ...
Agent 3: folders[2], folders[7], folders[12], ...
Agent 4: folders[3], folders[8], folders[13], ...
Agent 5: folders[4], folders[9], folders[14], ...

Step 3: Launch Parallel Agents

Launch all feature-batch-scanner agents in parallel using the Task tool.

For each agent, provide a prompt like:

"Scan these feature folders and return status for each:
- $PROJECT_ROOT/.dev/feature-a
- $PROJECT_ROOT/.dev/feature-b
- $PROJECT_ROOT/.dev/feature-c

For each folder, determine: Status (Active/Complete/Stale/No PRD), Progress (phases and steps), Last Checkpoint date, and Next Action."

Use

subagent_type=dev-workflow:feature-batch-scanner

and

model=haiku

for each agent.

IMPORTANT: Launch all agents in a single message with multiple Task tool calls to run them in parallel.

Step 4: Aggregate Results

After all agents return:

Parse each agent's batch results
Combine into a unified list of all features
Sort by status: Active first, then Stale, then Complete, then No PRD
Calculate summary counts

Step 5: Present Report

Display the status report to the user:

markdown

## Dev Status Report

**Generated**: [ISO 8601 timestamp]
**Features Scanned**: [N]

### Summary

| Status | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Active | [X] |
| Complete | [Y] |
| Stale | [Z] |
| No PRD | [W] |

### All Features

| Feature | Status | Progress | Last Activity | Next Action |
|---------|--------|----------|---------------|-------------|
| [name] | [status] | [X/Y phases] | [date/ago] | [summary] |
...

If there are archived features, add a section:

markdown

### Archived Features

[N] features in `.dev-archive/`:
- [feature-name-1]
- [feature-name-2]

Step 6: Archive Offer

If there are any Complete or Stale features, ask the user:

"Would you like to archive any completed or stale features? This moves them to

.dev-archive/

to keep

.dev/

clean."

Present options:

Archive all complete features
Archive all stale features
Archive specific features (list them)
Skip archiving

If user chooses to archive:

Create

.dev-archive/

if it doesn't exist:

bash

mkdir -p "$PROJECT_ROOT/.dev-archive"

Move each selected feature folder:

bash

mv "$PROJECT_ROOT/.dev/[feature-name]" "$PROJECT_ROOT/.dev-archive/"

Confirm what was archived.

If user skips: Proceed to Step 7.

Step 7: Save Report

Write the status report to

$PROJECT_ROOT/.dev/status-report-YYYY-MM-DD.md

:

markdown

# Dev Status Report

**Generated**: [ISO 8601 timestamp]
**Project**: [project name from git or folder]
**Features Scanned**: [N]

## Summary

| Status | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Active | [X] |
| Complete | [Y] |
| Stale | [Z] |
| No PRD | [W] |

## Features

| Feature | Status | Progress | Last Activity |
|---------|--------|----------|---------------|
| [name] | [status] | [X/Y phases] | [date] |
...

## Archive Candidates

### Complete (ready to archive)
- [feature-name]
...

### Stale (no activity > 30 days)
- [feature-name]
...
