# Flywheel status

Read `~/.claude/.flywheel/principles.md` and `~/.claude/.flywheel/corrections.md`.

Report concisely:

- **Principles in force** — the live principles from `principles.md`, as a short list (or "none yet" if empty).
- **Corrections logged** — how many entries are in `corrections.md`, with the titles of the 3 most recent.
- **Is a distill due?** — if there are many corrections but few promoted principles, say so and suggest running `/flywheel:distill`.

Keep it to a few lines. This is a status glance, not an analysis.
