Spec Kitty Status

Status Board

Show the current status of all work packages in the active feature. This displays:

• Kanban board with WPs organized by lane
• Progress bar showing completion percentage
• Parallelization opportunities (which WPs can run concurrently)
• Next steps recommendations

When to Use

• Before starting work (see what's ready to implement)
• During implementation (track overall progress)
• After completing a WP (see what's next)
• When planning parallelization (identify independent WPs)

Implementation

Run the CLI command to display the status board:

spec-kitty agent tasks status

To specify a feature explicitly:

spec-kitty agent tasks status --feature 012-documentation-mission

The command displays a rich kanban board with:

• Progress bar showing completion percentage
• Work packages organized by lane (planned/doing/for_review/done)
• Summary metrics

Alternative: Python API

For programmatic access (e.g., in Jupyter notebooks or scripts), use the Python function:

from specify_cli.agent_utils.status import show_kanban_status

# Auto-detect feature from current directory/branch
result = show_kanban_status()

# Or specify feature explicitly:
# result = show_kanban_status("012-documentation-mission")

Returns structured data:

{
    'feature_slug': '012-documentation-mission',
    'progress_percentage': 80.0,
    'done_count': 8,
    'total_wps': 10,
    'by_lane': {
        'planned': ['WP09'],
        'doing': ['WP10'],
        'for_review': [],
        'done': ['WP01', 'WP02', ...]
    },
    'parallelization': {
        'ready_wps': [...],
        'can_parallelize': True/False,
        'parallel_groups': [...]
    }
}

## Output Example

╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ │ 012-documentation-mission │ │ Progress: 80% [████████░░] │ ╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

┌─────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┬─────────────┐ │ PLANNED │ DOING │ FOR_REVIEW │ DONE │ ├─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┼─────────────┤ │ WP09 │ WP10 │ │ WP01 │ │ │ │ │ WP02 │ │ │ │ │ WP03 │ │ │ │ │ ... │ └─────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┴─────────────┘

🔀 Parallelization: WP09 can start (no dependencies)
