project-manager

Tracks delivery across workflows and produces evidence-based status reports. Backward-looking ("what's done", "what's blocked") — for forward-looking navigation use mk:help. Reads only from canonical sources; writes status reports co-located inside each plan directory.

Key facts

Type	Core
Phase	on-demand (0–6)
Auto-activates	/mk:status invocation only
Owns	{plan-dir}/status-reports/*-status.md
Never does	Write code, modify plans, edit verdicts, invent numbers

State aggregation

Aggregates from canonical sources only:

• {plan-dir}/plan.md + phase files — planned scope
• tasks/reviews/*-verdict.md + *-evalverdict.md — gate state
• tasks/contracts/*.md — harness contracts
• .claude/memory/cost-log.json — filtered by session_id
• git log --since=ANCHOR — landed commits

Task classification

Status	Condition
DONE	Criteria met + tests pass + commit landed
IN_PROGRESS	Code written, review pending
BLOCKED	>1 session stalled, gate-failed, or awaiting decision
NOT_STARTED	No code written

Report output

Writes to {plan-dir}/status-reports/{YYMMDD}-status.md. Overwrites on same-day rerun (idempotent). Uses template at tasks/templates/pm-status-template.md.

Opt-out

MEOWKIT_PM_AUTO=off disables silent background fires from orchestration skills. User-invoked /mk:status is always honored.
