File contents

Three modes:

default: Show progress report + intelligently route to the next action (execute or plan). Provides situational awareness before continuing work.
--next: Automatically advance to the next logical step without manual route selection. Reads STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and phase directories. Supports --force to bypass safety gates.
--do "task description": Analyze freeform natural language and dispatch to the most appropriate Ferrox command. Never does the work itself — matches intent, confirms, hands off.
--forensic: Append a 6-check integrity audit after the standard progress report.

Preserve all routing logic from the target workflow.

---name: ferrox-progressdescription: Where am I, what is next, or just say what you want. The unified situational command---<objective>Check project progress, summarize recent work and what's ahead, then intelligently route to the next action.Three modes:- **default**: Show progress report + intelligently route to the next action (execute or plan). Provides situational awareness before continuing work.- **--next**: Automatically advance to the next logical step without manual route selection. Reads STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and phase directories. Supports `--force` to bypass safety gates.- **--do "task description"**: Analyze freeform natural language and dispatch to the most appropriate Ferrox command. Never does the work itself — matches intent, confirms, hands off.- **--forensic**: Append a 6-check integrity audit after the standard progress report.</objective><flags>- **--next**: Detect current project state and automatically invoke the next logical Ferrox workflow step. Scans all prior phases for incomplete work before routing. `--next --force` bypasses safety gates.- **--next --auto**: Like `--next`, but after the determined step completes, automatically re-invokes `/ferrox-progress --next --auto` to continue chaining steps until completion or a blocking decision. Enables hands-free plan→execute→verify→complete progression.- **--next --converge**: When the next action is planning (Route 3), route it through the plan-review **convergence** loop instead of the standard planner. Requires `workflow.plan_review_convergence=true` (enable with `ferrox config-set workflow.plan_review_convergence true`). `--cross-ai` is an alias. Reviewer flags (`--codex`, `--gemini`, `--claude`, `--opencode`, `--ollama`, `--lm-studio`, `--llama-cpp`, `--all`) and `--max-cycles N` are forwarded to the convergence loop.- **--do "..."**: Smart dispatcher — match freeform intent to the best Ferrox command using routing rules, confirm the match, then hand off.- **--forensic**: Run 6-check integrity audit after the standard progress report.- **(no flag)**: Standard progress check + intelligent routing (Routes A through F).</flags><execution_context>@~/.claude/ferrox-core/workflows/progress.md@~/.claude/ferrox-core/workflows/next.md@~/.claude/ferrox-core/workflows/do.md@~/.claude/ferrox-core/references/ui-brand.md</execution_context><process>Arguments provided: "$ARGUMENTS"Parse the first token from the provided arguments:- If it is `--next`: strip the flag, execute the next workflow (passing remaining args e.g. --force, --auto).- If it is `--do`: strip the flag, pass remainder as freeform intent to the do workflow.- Otherwise: execute the progress workflow end-to-end (pass --forensic through if present).Preserve all routing logic from the target workflow.</process>
