Purpose

Automatically trigger PM status commands (/pm:status, /pm:next, /pm:blocked, /pm:in-progress) when users ask about project status, next tasks, or blockers using natural language.

Core Behavior

In any DAIC mode:

1. Status Query Detection

   • Detect project status queries from natural language
   • Examples: "What's in progress?", "What should I work on next?", "What's blocked?"
   • Route to appropriate PM status command

2. Command Routing

   • Next task: "what next" → /pm:next
   • In progress: "what's in progress" → /pm:in-progress
   • Blockers: "what's blocked" → /pm:blocked
   • General status: "project status" → /pm:status

3. Result Display

   • Invoke appropriate PM command
   • Return formatted status information
   • Provide actionable next steps
