Rite Status

$rite-status: active feature status

Read-only. Report the active workspace; do not run a phase or write files.

Load

Use the supplied slug or .devrites/ACTIVE; require its authoritative state.md and read the cursor directly. Read question, evidence, and risk artifacts only as needed. Never infer lifecycle state from README.md or chat.

If no workspace exists, recommend $rite-spec <feature> and stop.

If state.md is unreadable/malformed: report a gap with the defect and stop — never infer the phase from other files; $rite-doctor/$rite-upgrade own repair.

Report

1. feature and one-line objective;
2. phase, run mode, and active slice;
3. status from state.md;
4. the single Next step recorded in state.md;
5. proven versus unproven evidence;
6. open questions by gate, including the exact resolving command when awaiting a human; list gate: escalating entries separately under Escalating: with their route: specialist tag (do not mix with synchronous blockers);
7. unresolved drift and material risks;
8. handoff readiness.

A workspace is handoff-ready when it records one next action, all unresolved questions, non-obvious decisions, load-bearing assumptions, current drift status, and evidence for its claims. If chat contains missing durable context, recommend $rite-handoff before the lifecycle command.

Do not derive a command from host identity or invent one from phase names. Read the persisted Next step.
