Status

BMAD Workflow Status

Goal: Display current project status and recommend next workflow.

Execution Steps

1. Check for BMAD initialization:

   • Look for bmad/config.yaml
   • If not found: suggest running /bmad:init

2. Load configuration:

   • Read bmad/config.yaml for project info
   • Read planning-artifacts/workflow-status.yaml for progress

3. Display status:

   Project: {project_name} ({project_type}, Level {project_level})
   
   ✓ Phase 1: Analysis
     ✓ product-brief (planning-artifacts/product-brief-{date}.md)
     - research (optional)
   
   → Phase 2: Planning [CURRENT]
     ⚠ prd (required - NOT STARTED)
     - ux-design (optional)
   
   Phase 3: Solutioning
     - architecture (required)
     - epics-stories (not started)
   
   Phase 4: Implementation
     - sprint-planning (not started)
   

4. Determine recommendations based on:

   • Project level
   • Completed workflows
   • Required vs optional workflows
   • Workflow dependencies

5. Recommend next step:

   Recommended: Create PRD with /bmad:create-prd
   
   Why? For Level 2+ projects, PRD ensures all requirements are
   captured before architecture and implementation.
   

6. Offer to execute:

   Would you like to start /bmad:create-prd now?
