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 whose feature.yaml branch field matches the current branch
Read these files (in parallel):
- specs/NNN-*/feature.yaml — lifecycle, phase, progress, completed phases
- specs/NNN-*/tasks.yaml — task list with states
- specs/NNN-*/spec.yaml — summary, success criteria
Read recent commits — git log --oneline -10 to see what was done
Produce the status report (see format below)

Output Format

Present a concise, user-friendly status report using this structure:
