Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/neolabhq/context-engineering-kit --skill status
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads status automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Status Check

Display the current state of the FPF knowledge base.

Action (Run-Time)

  1. Check Directory Structure: Verify .fpf/ exists and contains required subdirectories.
  2. Count Hypotheses: List files in each knowledge layer:
    • .fpf/knowledge/L0/ (Proposed)
    • .fpf/knowledge/L1/ (Verified)
    • .fpf/knowledge/L2/ (Validated)
    • .fpf/knowledge/invalid/ (Rejected)
  3. Check Evidence Freshness: Scan .fpf/evidence/ for expired evidence.
  4. Count Decisions: List files in .fpf/decisions/.
  5. Report to user.

Status Report Format

## FPF Status

### Directory Structure
- [x] .fpf/ exists
- [x] knowledge/L0/ exists
- [x] knowledge/L1/ exists
- [x] knowledge/L2/ exists
- [x] evidence/ exists
- [x] decisions/ exists

### Current Phase
Based on hypothesis distribution: ABDUCTION | DEDUCTION | INDUCTION | DECISION | IDLE

### Hypothesis Counts

| Layer | Count | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| L0 (Proposed) | 3 | Awaiting verification |
| L1 (Verified) | 2 | Awaiting validation |
| L2 (Validated) | 1 | Ready for decision |
| Invalid | 1 | Rejected |

### Evidence Status

| Total | Fresh | Stale | Expired |
|-------|-------|-------|---------|
| 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 |

### Warnings

- 1 evidence file is EXPIRED: ev-benchmark-old-2024-06-15
- Consider running `/fpf:decay` to review stale evidence

### Recent Decisions

| DRR | Date | Winner |
|-----|------|--------|
| DRR-2025-01-15-use-redis | 2025-01-15 | redis-caching |

Phase Detection Logic

Determine current phase by examining the knowledge base state:

ConditionPhaseNext Step
No .fpf/ directoryNOT INITIALIZEDRun /fpf:propose-hypotheses
L0 > 0, L1 = 0, L2 = 0ABDUCTIONContinue with verification
L1 > 0, L2 = 0DEDUCTIONContinue with validation
L2 > 0, no recent DRRINDUCTIONContinue with audit and decision
Recent DRR existsDECISION COMPLETEReview decision
All emptyIDLERun /fpf:propose-hypotheses

Evidence Freshness Check

For each evidence file in .fpf/evidence/:

  1. Read the valid_until field from frontmatter
  2. Compare with current date
  3. Classify:
    • Fresh: valid_until > today + 30 days
    • Stale: valid_until > today but < today + 30 days
    • Expired: valid_until < today

If any evidence is stale or expired, warn the user and suggest /fpf:decay.

Example Output

## FPF Status

### Current Phase: DEDUCTION

You have 3 hypotheses in L0 awaiting verification.
Next step: Continue the FPF workflow to process L0 hypotheses.

### Hypothesis Counts

| Layer | Count |
|-------|-------|
| L0 | 3 |
| L1 | 0 |
| L2 | 0 |
| Invalid | 0 |

### Evidence Status

No evidence files yet (hypotheses not validated).

### No Warnings

All systems nominal.

FAQ

What does the status skill do?

Display the current state of the FPF knowledge base

How do I install status?

Run npx skills add https://github.com/neolabhq/context-engineering-kit --skill status in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/status/ (personal) or .claude/skills/status/ (project).

Which AI agents can use status?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is status safe to install?

No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

Who maintains status?

It is published by neolabhq in neolabhq/context-engineering-kit. It has 1,151 recorded installs.
