At a glance

Synchronizes README.md Command Center with current project state.

  • Works in 3 steps: Load Context → Extract Current State → Update README Dashboard
  • EPIC status changes
  • SKILL.md covers Workflow Overview, Core Output Template, Step 1: Load Context and Step 2: Extract Current State, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ghm Status Sync is an agent skill from mattgierhart/PRD-driven-context-engineering. Synchronizes README.md Command Center with current project state. Triggers on gate changes, EPIC status changes, or explicit /ghm-status-sync invocation. Outputs updated README.md dashboard with current lifecycle stage, blockers, and metrics.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/status-sync-template.md`, `references/examples.md` and `references/sync-triggers.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Technical documentation and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: PRD-Led Context Engineering — Memory as Infrastructure. An ontology layer for product teams building products that solve real problems — with AI agents that remember. Gated PRD… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • EPIC status changes
  • Explicit /ghm-status-sync invocation

Example prompts

  • “Use the ghm-status-sync skill to synchroniz README.md Command Center with current project state”
  • “/ghm-status-sync”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Load Context
  2. Extract Current State
  3. Update README Dashboard

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 30ed1b0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ghm Status Sync loads about 920 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 413 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~920
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Status Sync

Synchronize the README.md Command Center with the current project state after gate advancement or EPIC status changes.

Workflow Overview

  1. Load Context → Read README.md, PRD.md metadata, Active EPIC Session State section
  2. Extract State → Pull lifecycle stage, blockers, metrics
  3. Update Dashboard → Sync README sections with current truth

Core Output Template

ElementDefinitionEvidence
Lifecycle StageCurrent PRD version from PRD.mdCurrent Lifecycle Gate: v0.X
Gate StatusVisual progress indicators🟢 Complete / 🟡 In Progress / ⚪ Pending
Active EPICCurrent work from EPIC headerEPIC-XX: Title
BlockersOpen blockers from EPIC Session State sectionList with severity

Step 1: Load Context

Read these files in order:

  1. README.md (current state)
  2. PRD.md (metadata block for lifecycle stage)
  3. Active EPIC Session State section (blockers, progress)
Checklist
  • README.md loaded
  • PRD.md metadata extracted
  • Active EPIC identified and Session State section read

Step 2: Extract Current State

Pull authoritative values:

FieldSource
Lifecycle StagePRD.md Current Lifecycle Gate
Gate ProgressPRD.md gate table
Active EPICREADME.md Active Work section
BlockersEPIC Session State section
MetricsREADME.md Truth Table

Step 3: Update README Dashboard

Apply synchronization rules:

  1. Lifecycle Stage: Update header to match PRD.md
  2. Gate Table:
    • 🟢 = Passed gates (all criteria met)
    • 🟡 = Current gate (in progress)
    • ⚪ = Future gates (not started)
  3. Active EPIC: Update metadata in Active Work section
  4. Blockers: Sync from EPIC Session State section
  5. Squad Status (Section: squad-status): Update agent and EPIC tables:
    • For each agent in .claude/agents/: check MEMORY.md mtime for "Last Active", grep EPICs for agent name for "Current EPIC"
    • For each EPIC in epics/: read State field, Epic Lead, and Change Log last date
    • Status values: active (session <2h old), idle (no recent activity), blocked (blocker in session state)

Quality Gates

Pass Checklist
  • README lifecycle stage matches PRD.md
  • Gate indicators are accurate (no 🟢 on incomplete gates)
  • Active EPIC reference is current
  • Blockers reflect actual state
Testability Check
  • Can be validated by comparing README to PRD.md
  • Gate status is traceable to gate criteria

Anti-Patterns

PatternExampleFix
Stale gate status🟢 on gate with missing criteria→ Verify all criteria before marking complete
Missing blockersEPIC has blockers, README shows none→ Always sync from EPIC Session State section
Wrong EPIC referenceREADME points to closed EPIC→ Check EPIC status before updating

Boundaries

DO:

  • Status synchronization
  • Link updates
  • Gate progression indicators

DON'T:

  • Content changes to descriptions
  • Create new sections
  • Modify PRD.md (read-only source)

Handoff

After status sync completes:

  • README.md is current and accurate
  • Ready for next work session
  • Gate-check skill can validate if advancing
