Knowledge Status Report

Knowledge Status Report

Runtime Context

Before acting, resolve ` using the runtime bootstrap rules, then read /.workflow/runtime.md and /.workflow/manifest.yml`; do not assume non-default workflow paths or default ids.

Use this skill to summarize repository knowledge status without changing files.

Modes

Overview and quality:

• overview: concise project knowledge and delivery summary.
• health: source traceability, orphaned documents, link gaps, stale proposals, ownership gaps, and schema risks.

Delivery:

• delivery: Kanban, task items, readiness, blockers, review queues, and Done counts.

Knowledge queues:

• decisions: proposed, accepted, rejected, superseded, and unresolved decisions.
• requirements: product requirement coverage, planned work, delivered work, and gaps.
• proposals: open proposals, proposals by type/status, accepted proposals not yet converted, and proposal risks.

Responsibility, risk, and activity:

• ownership: owners, assignees, reviewers, and member responsibility coverage.
• risks: blockers, stale references, missing source traceability, unclear ownership, and workflow gaps.
• activity: recent knowledge and delivery changes, using git history when available.

If the user does not specify a mode, use overview.

Scope

Choose the narrowest useful report scope before reading broadly:

• project-wide: default for broad status questions.
• discovery-only: requirement discovery, market context, business assumptions, customer research, and environmental analysis.
• product-only: requirements, product scope, delivery links, and product risks.
• delivery-only: Kanban, task items, readiness, blockers, and review queues.
• member-specific: one member's public responsibilities, assignments, reviews, handoffs, and shared workspace material.
• sprint-specific: one sprint or planning period.
• module-specific: one module, component, feature area, or knowledge area.

If the user names a sprint, member, module, product area, or knowledge area, use that as the scope. If the scope is unclear and a broad read would be expensive, ask a short clarification or default to project-wide overview and state that assumption.

If the user asks for a statistic that does not fit a predefined scope, keep the nearest scope and express the request as a filter or facet instead of inventing a new scope or refusing the report.

Workflow

1. Resolve ` using runtime bootstrap rules, then read /.workflow/runtime.md`.
2. Read /.workflow/manifest.yml; use its knowledge_dir, agent_skills, worktrees_dir, and canonical_language.
3. Read /README.md, relevant rules under /.workflow/rules/, /.workflow/schemas/common.md, and the relevant schemas under /.workflow/schemas/.
4. Read only the knowledge areas needed for the requested mode.
5. Read /planning/KANBAN.md and task items only for delivery-related modes.
6. Prefer explicit frontmatter, Kanban columns, wikilinks, and schema-defined fields over inference from prose.
7. Clearly label counts as field-based, board-based, path-based, link-based, git-based, or inferred.
8. Assign report reliability as high, medium, or low.
9. Report findings and recommended next actions without editing files.

Reporting Rules

• Separate facts from inference.
• Include the exact source paths used.
• State the report scope and reliability near the top of the output.
• State any filter or facet used for a non-standard statistic.
• Do not treat localized files as canonical sources.
• Do not treat /.workflow/** or /.feedback/** as project facts, delivery candidates, or health-report subject documents.
• Do not treat local-only notes, WORKLIST entries, or work logs as shared delivery state unless the user explicitly scopes the report to local work.
• Do not count a requirement, decision, or task as delivered only because prose suggests it; prefer linked Done cards, task metadata, or explicit delivered references.
• Do not count proposals as project facts, accepted decisions, task items, or delivery commitments.
• In health reports, call out documents with missing source traceability when their type or content implies source-derived knowledge.
• For metric guidance, templates, report areas, and reliability examples, read references/report-guide.md first, then the narrower reference it points to.

Output

Use this structure unless the user asks for another format:

## Status Summary

- Scope: ...
- Reliability: high | medium | low
- ...

## Counts

| Area | Count | Basis | Notes |
| ---- | ----- | ----- | ----- |

## Risks And Gaps

- ...

## Recommended Next Actions

- ...

## Sources

- ...

For report templates, examples, and metric guidance, read references/report-guide.md first, then the narrower reference it points to.

Guardrails

• Read-only: do not edit knowledge files, task items, Kanban cards, manifests, or local worklists.
• Do not move Kanban cards or change task metadata.
• Do not run broad document migrations.
• Do not infer sensitive information.
• Route fixes to the owning skill:
• knowledge-schema-audit for non-task metadata quality.
• task-metadata-audit for task metadata and readiness quality.
• knowledge-intake for unclear placement or promotion decisions.
• knowledge-capture for approved knowledge updates.
• delivery-planning for delivery planning changes.
• kanban-maintenance for approved board updates.
