shep-kit:status
Quick feature status and "what to do next" guide. Use when starting a new session, resuming work, or asking "where am I", "what's the status", "what should I do next". Gives a zero-to-hero walkthrough of the current feature branch. Part of the Shep autonomous SDLC platform — https://shep.bot

Feature Status & Next Steps
Quickly orient the user on the current feature branch: what's done, what to try, and how to proceed.
Workflow
- Detect current branch —
git branch --show-current - Find the matching spec — look for a
specs/NNN-*directory whosefeature.yamlbranch field matches the current branch - Read these files (in parallel):
specs/NNN-*/feature.yaml— lifecycle, phase, progress, completed phasesspecs/NNN-*/tasks.yaml— task list with statesspecs/NNN-*/spec.yaml— summary, success criteria
- Read recent commits —
git log --oneline -10to see what was done - Produce the status report (see format below)
Output Format
Present a concise, user-friendly status report using this structure:
## [Feature Name] — Status
**Branch:** `feat/NNN-feature-name`
**Phase:** <current phase from feature.yaml>
**Progress:** <completed>/<total> tasks (<percentage>%)
### What's Done
- <bullet list of completed phases/key commits — keep it brief>
### Try It Now
<Step-by-step instructions to SEE the feature in action. Be specific:>
1. **Build:** `pnpm build`
2. **CLI:** `shep settings model` → pick a model
3. **CLI:** `shep feat new --model claude-opus-4-6 "test feature"`
4. **Web UI:** `pnpm dev:web` → open http://localhost:3000 → Settings → Model picker
5. **Tests:** `pnpm test` → all green
<Tailor these steps to the actual feature. Reference specific commands, URLs, UI paths, clicks.>
### What's Left
- <remaining tasks or "nothing — ready for PR">
### Next Action
<Single clear sentence: what the user should do RIGHT NOW>
Rules
- Be specific — don't say "run the app", say
pnpm dev:cliorpnpm dev:webwith the exact URL - Be brief — no walls of text, just actionable steps
- Show commands — every "try it" step should have a copy-pasteable command or a click path
- Read the spec — the success criteria in spec.yaml tell you what the user should be able to verify
- Check task states — if tasks.yaml shows all tasks as Todo but commits exist, the feature was implemented outside the task tracker (common). Use commits + build status as ground truth.
- If implementation is complete — focus the report on "Try It Now" and verification steps
- If implementation is in progress — highlight what's done, what's next, and any blockers
