  • Works in 5 steps: Gather State → Calculate Takt → Format Header → …
  • Tasks that involve Time tracking and reporting

What it does

Session Status is an agent skill from WellApp-ai/Well. Generate breadcrumb headers/footers with takt time tracking and muda metrics

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Time tracking and reporting. The repository describes itself as: No more Sundays on Finance. We build the infrastructure that retrieves, processes, and routes your financial and business data to your FinOps stack, so founders can ship, not… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Time tracking and reporting

Example prompts

  • “/session-status”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather State
  2. Calculate Takt
  3. Format Header
  4. Format Footer
  5. Track Muda (Silent)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c740217. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Session Status loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 388 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Generate breadcrumb headers/footers with takt time tracking and muda metrics

Session Status Skill

Generate consistent navigation breadcrumbs showing current position, takt time, and session metrics.

When to Use

  • At START of every Ask/Agent/Plan mode response
  • At END of every Ask/Agent/Plan mode response
  • When session metrics are needed for Session Journal sync

Phase 1: Gather State

Collect current session state:

DataSource
Feature nameFrom init context or branch name
Current phaseDIVERGE / CONVERGE / DEFINE / AGENT
Loop countIncremented on each user feedback cycle
ProgressValidated items / total items
DurationTime since phase started
StatusG (flow) / Y (waiting) / R (stopped)

Phase 2: Calculate Takt

Compare duration against targets from 03-shared.mdc:

PhaseTargetWarningStop
DIVERGE (per loop)15min30min60min
CONVERGE20min40min90min
DEFINE10min20min45min
Commit (each)10min20min30min

Determine suffix:

  • Under target: (none)
  • Warning exceeded: !
  • Stop exceeded: !!

Phase 3: Format Header

Generate single-line breadcrumb:

Format: [STATUS] | [Feature] | [PHASE_PROGRESS] | L[N] | [X]/[Y] | [TIME]

Examples by phase:

  • DIVERGE: G | Collaboration | DIVERGE ###....... | L3 | 5/9 | 18m
  • CONVERGE: G | Collaboration | DIVERGE OK | CONVERGE ##.... | L1 | 22m
  • DEFINE: G | Collaboration | DIVERGE OK | CONVERGE OK | DEFINE ###.. | L2 | 35m
  • AGENT: G | Collaboration | AGENT | C2/5 | 45m
  • Warning: Y | Collaboration | DIVERGE ###....... | L3 | 5/9 | 32m!
  • Stopped: R | Collaboration | AGENT | JIDOKA STOP

Progress bar: 10 chars, # filled, . empty, proportional to completion.
