Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Show feature progress and status across all featuresKey capabilities
- →Check if `.planning/features/` exists
- →List all feature directories
- →Extract feature name, status, and problem summary from `CONTEXT.md`
- →Extract total tasks and done tasks from `PLAN.md`
- →Identify the current phase and its status from `PLAN.md`
- →Note verification status from `VERIFY.md`
How it works
The skill reads local feature files (`CONTEXT.md`, `PLAN.md`, `VERIFY.md`) within the `.planning/features/` directory to extract and display the status, progress, and problem summaries of all active features. It also identifies the current development phase and suggests the next step.
Inputs & outputs
When to use status
- →Check project progress
- →View status of all active features
- →Monitor phase completion
About this skill
Active Feature State
!for f in .planning/features/*/CONTEXT.md; do [ -f "$f" ] && d=$(dirname "$f") && echo "$(basename "$d"): $(sed -n 's/^status: *//p' "$f")"; done 2>/dev/null; true
Show the status of all features with progress details.
-
Check if
.planning/features/exists. If not, tell the user no features have been started and suggest/ship:start "your idea". -
List all feature directories in
.planning/features/. -
For each feature, read
CONTEXT.mdand extract:- Feature name (from frontmatter)
- Status (from frontmatter)
- Problem summary (first sentence of ## Problem)
- Number of acceptance criteria
-
If a
PLAN.mdexists, also extract:- Total tasks and how many are done
- If the plan has
<phase>elements, list each phase with its status and task counts - Identify the current phase (first phase with status != "done")
-
If a
VERIFY.mdexists, note whether verification passed or found gaps. -
Display as a formatted summary:
## Ship Status
| Feature | Status | Progress | Summary |
|---------|--------|----------|---------|
| {name} | {status} | {done}/{total} tasks | {problem summary} |
-
For the active (non-done) feature, show additional detail:
Phase progress (if phased plan):
Phase 1: {name} — done (3/3 tasks) Phase 2: {name} — building (1/4 tasks) ← current Phase 3: {name} — pending (0/2 tasks)Next step based on status:
brainstormed→ "Next:/ship:planto create the implementation plan"planned→ "Next:/ship:plan-verifyto verify the plan against the codebase"plan-verified→ "Next:/ship:buildto start building"building→ "Next:/ship:buildto continue building (or/ship:resumein a new session)"built→ "Next:/ship:verifyto verify acceptance criteria"done→ "Feature complete! Start something new with/ship:start"
$ARGUMENTS
When not to use it
- →When asking about git status
- →When asking about non-Ship topics
Limitations
- →The skill relies on the `.planning/features/` directory structure
- →Information is extracted from specific markdown files (`CONTEXT.md`, `PLAN.md`, `VERIFY.md`)
- →Next step suggestions are based on predefined status transitions
How it compares
This skill automates the aggregation and presentation of feature progress and status from local files, providing a centralized and formatted overview, unlike manually checking individual feature documents.

session-handoff
davila7
Creates comprehensive handoff documents for seamless AI agent session transfers. Triggered when: (1) user requests handoff/memory/context save, (2) context window approaches capacity, (3) major task milestone completed, (4) work session ending, (5) user says 'save state', 'create handoff', 'I need to pause', 'context is getting full', (6) resuming work with 'load handoff', 'resume from', 'continue where we left off'. Proactively suggests handoffs after substantial work (multiple file edits, complex debugging, architecture decisions). Solves long-running agent context exhaustion by enabling fresh agents to continue with zero ambiguity.
spec-to-backlog
atlassian
Automatically convert Confluence specification documents into structured Jira backlogs with Epics and implementation tickets. When Claude needs to: (1) Create Jira tickets from a Confluence page, (2) Generate a backlog from a specification, (3) Break down a spec into implementation tasks, or (4) Convert requirements into Jira issues. Handles reading Confluence pages, analyzing specifications, creating Epics with proper structure, and generating detailed implementation tickets linked to the Epic.
