Project Status

Project Status

Manage project lifecycle status in studio/projects.json.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

• No args → show current status of all projects
• One arg (prefix) → show status of that project
• Two args (prefix + status) → set status

Valid statuses: featured, active, paused, archived

Show current statuses (no args or one arg)

Read studio/projects.json. For each entry print:

PREFIX  STATUS    name (path)
------  --------  -----------
MCF     active    Mhairi McFarlane (/home/bain/code/...)
NORE    paused    The Nature of Real Estate (...)

Derive prefix and name from each project's CLAUDE.md (ASANA_TASK_PREFIX and ASANA_PROJECT_NAME).

Sort order: featured → active → paused → archived.

Set status (two args)

1. Read studio/projects.json
2. Migrate if still flat list of strings (convert to {"path": "...", "status": "active"})
3. Find the entry whose project CLAUDE.md contains ASANA_TASK_PREFIX: {PREFIX}
4. If not found, list available prefixes and stop
5. Set status to the requested value
6. Write back to studio/projects.json

Status-specific actions

→ paused

• Add a paused_at field with today's date (ISO format)
• Print: "NORE paused — will be skipped in cron sync. Run python3 studio/sync.py --project NORE to sync manually."

→ archived

• Confirm: "Archive NORE (The Nature of Real Estate)? This hides it from all reports. (y/n)"
• On confirm: set status, add archived_at date
• Print: "NORE archived."

→ featured

• Print: "NORE set to featured — will appear at top of standup and in terminal launcher."

→ active

• Remove paused_at / archived_at fields if present
• Print: "NORE reactivated."

Notes

• projects.json is gitignored — changes are local only
• featured and active projects are synced by cron; paused and archived are skipped
• Paused projects can be manually synced with python3 studio/sync.py --project {PREFIX}
