Plan Dashboard

Skill: plan-dashboard

Trigger

Use this skill when the user says:

• "update dashboard"
• "show pipeline status"
• "what's the status"
• "planning status"
• invokes /plan-dashboard

Purpose

Scan all planning documents, parse their YAML frontmatter, and regenerate the two _index.md dashboard files with current status summaries.

Output

Updates both dashboard files:

• docs/planning/ideas/_index.md
• docs/planning/plans/_index.md

Workflow

Step 1 — Scan all planning documents

Read every .md file (excluding _index.md itself) in:

• docs/planning/ideas/
• docs/planning/plans/ (read plan.md inside each subdirectory)

For each file, extract the YAML frontmatter fields.

Step 2 — Calculate metrics

For ideas:

• Count by status: captured | in-progress | completed | deferred
• Count by domain
• Identify ideas with status: captured that have no plan: value (not yet planned)

For plans:

• Count by status: planning | ready | in-progress | blocked | completed
• Identify blocked plans
• Calculate overall completion percentage from task checkboxes in the plan

Step 3 — Generate dashboard files

# Ideas

## Summary

| Status      | Count |
| ----------- | ----- |
| Captured    | N     |
| In Progress | N     |
| Completed   | N     |
| Deferred    | N     |
| **Total**   | **N** |

## Ideas

| File                      | Title | Status      | Domain | Captured | Plan      |
| ------------------------- | ----- | ----------- | ------ | -------- | --------- |
| [filename](./filename.md) | title | status      | domain | date     | link or — |

(Sorted by: captured date desc)

## Action Required

- [List any captured ideas with no plan link — needs /plan-from-idea]

# Execution Plans

## Summary

| Status      | Count |
| ----------- | ----- |
| Planning    | N     |
| Ready       | N     |
| In Progress | N     |
| Blocked     | N     |
| Completed   | N     |
| **Total**   | **N** |

## Plans

| #                         | Title | Status      | Idea      | Started   | Completed |
| ------------------------- | ----- | ----------- | --------- | --------- | --------- |
| [NNN](./NNN-slug/plan.md) | title | status      | idea link | date or — | date or — |

(Sorted by: number asc)

## Pipeline Flow

Ideas → Plans
[N ideas total] → [N plans total]

## Blockers

- [List any plans with status: blocked and note what's blocking them]

Step 4 — Confirm

Report which dashboard files were updated and the high-level counts for each stage.

Notes

• Parse YAML frontmatter between --- delimiters at the top of each file
• Checkbox completion: count - [x] as done, - [ ] as pending
• If a stage directory is empty, write a minimal dashboard noting no items yet
• Preserve the updated: frontmatter field with today's date on each write
• Do not modify any non-_index.md files in this skill
