Work Status

/work-status

Agent Compatibility

This skill can run in Claude Code or Pi. Before running Workstation helper scripts, read ../_shared/agent-compatibility.md and resolve:

• WORKSTATION_DISPATCH → scripts/workstation-dispatch
• WORKSTATION_NOTIFY → scripts/workstation-notify

Use CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT when it is set; otherwise resolve the script path relative to this skill directory.

Show unified status of all active tasks across repos.

Implementation Steps

1. Check if workspace exists

ls -la ~/.varie/workspace.yaml ~/.varie/sessions/ 2>/dev/null

If ~/.varie/ doesn't exist, output:

No active workstation sessions found.
Use /work-start <repo> <task> to begin tracking work.

2. Read workspace state

Read ~/.varie/workspace.yaml to get list of known repos and active sessions.

3. Read session checkpoints

For each session in ~/.varie/sessions/*.yaml:

• Extract: repo, task name, current step, status, last_active timestamp
• Calculate time since last activity

4. Format output

Default format (compact):

Active Tasks (N):

| Repo            | Task                    | Current Step         | Status  | Last Active |
|-----------------|-------------------------|----------------------|---------|-------------|
| webapp | Character API Migration | frontend_api_client  | working | 5 min ago   |
| ml-pipeline     | Data Processing Fix     | stage_3b_integration | working | 30 min ago  |

Verbose format (--verbose): For each task, show:

• Full step list with status markers: [✓] done, [→] current, [ ] pending
• Current step notes
• Files touched
• Git branch

Filtered format (--repo): Show only tasks matching the specified repo.

5. Notify daemon (optional)

If daemon socket exists, send status_request event:

"$WORKSTATION_NOTIFY" status-request

Example Outputs

No sessions

No active workstation sessions found.
Use /work-start <repo> <task> to begin tracking work.

Default output

Active Tasks (2):

| Repo            | Task                    | Step                | Status  | Last Active |
|-----------------|-------------------------|---------------------|---------|-------------|
| webapp | Character API Migration | frontend_api_client | working | 5 min ago   |
| my-project | Communication Protocol | design_complete   | idle    | 2 hours ago |
