Status (Codex)
Use this skill when the user asks for current project state, readiness, or what to do next.
Checks
- Git health:
- branch, upstream, ahead/behind
- staged/unstaged/untracked changes
- recent commits and stash presence
- Repository readiness:
- core manifests and scripts
- CI/workflow files (if present)
- signs of broken local state
- Serena memory freshness:
- memory existence and recency
- whether a sync/audit is needed
- Dependency freshness (quick pass):
- direct dependencies only
- surface CRITICAL/HIGH upgrade risks first
- Optional deployment sync signal:
- if server/deploy metadata exists, compare local vs remote revision state (safe read-only checks)
Output Contract

Guardrails
- Prefer evidence from commands and files, not assumptions.
- Keep the report concise; avoid noisy low-priority details.
- Do not mutate repository state unless user asks.
