Ca Status

$ca-status — state snapshot

A read-only summary of .codearbiter/ state. No skill is routed to; no file is modified.

Flow

The orchestrator reads and presents:

1. Stage — the stage: maturity value from <project-root>/.codearbiter/CONTEXT.md frontmatter.
2. Pipelines — every slug in <project-root>/.codearbiter/specs/ and plans/, with how far each got: spec awaiting approval, spec approved / no plan, plan in progress (ACCEPTED count vs. total from the plan's status column), or complete. An interrupted pipeline is resumable via $ca-feature — say so on its line.
3. Open tasks — the in-flight count from <project-root>/.codearbiter/open-tasks.md (top-level - bullets excluding done - [x]; the same _taskboardlib count the SessionStart hook uses).
4. Open questions — the count of unresolved [CONFIRM-NN] placeholders in <project-root>/.codearbiter/open-questions.md.
5. Overrides since last checkpoint — entries in <project-root>/.codearbiter/overrides.log newer than the marker in <project-root>/.codearbiter/last-checkpoint.
6. Current branch — from git.

Output

## Project status — YYYY-MM-DD

Stage:            N
Branch:           <current branch>
Pipelines:
  <slug>          plan 3/7 ACCEPTED — resume with $ca-feature "<slug>"
  <slug>          spec approved, no plan
Open tasks:       N
Open questions:   N ([CONFIRM-NN] unresolved)
Overrides since last checkpoint: N

No specs and no plans → Pipelines: none.

If [CONFIRM-NN] placeholders are open, surface them — do not resolve them here.

When NOT to use

• A full cross-cutting review → $ca-checkpoint.
• A specific question → $ca-btw.

Hard gate

Read-only. MUST NOT modify any file. MUST NOT resolve a [CONFIRM-NN] it surfaces. No skill is routed to by this command.
