About this skill
HUD
OMG adapted scope: This skill documents existing VS Code StatusBar and TreeView status surfaces. Terminal HUD parity with OMC is out of scope.
Workflow
- Identify which status the user needs: active modes, agents, PRD, checkpoint, or workflow progress.
- Use the OMG status bar and tree views where available.
- If MCP tools are available, inspect active modes or checkpoints for evidence.
- Explain stale, missing, or conflicting status indicators.
- Recommend the smallest refresh or health-check action.
Rules
- Do not imply real-time terminal HUD metrics unless implemented.
- Prefer VS Code-native views over terminal dashboards.
- Report uncertainty when state files are missing or stale.
When not to use it
- →When real-time terminal HUD metrics are required but not implemented.
- →When the status information is not related to workflow progress or active agent modes.
Limitations
- →Terminal HUD parity with OMC is out of scope.
- →Does not imply real-time terminal HUD metrics unless implemented.
- →Prefers VS Code-native views over terminal dashboards.
How it compares
This skill focuses on use existing VS Code-native status surfaces for workflow monitoring, providing specific guidance on interpreting and acting upon these indicators, unlike general status reporting.
