Status Skill

Generate a diagnostic report of the metaswarm installation, project configuration, and potential issues. Useful for troubleshooting and verifying setup or migration.

---

Checks

Run each check below and present results in a single formatted report.

1. Plugin Version

• Read .claude-plugin/plugin.json from the plugin root -- report the version field
• Fallback: read package.json at plugin root for version
• If neither found: Plugin version: UNKNOWN

2. Project Setup State

• Check if .metaswarm/project-profile.json exists in the working directory
• If present, report key fields: distribution, metaswarm_version, language, framework, test_runner
• If absent: Project setup: NOT CONFIGURED -- run /metaswarm:setup

3. Command Shims

Check these 6 files in .claude/commands/:

Shim	Expected
start-task.md	Routes to /metaswarm:start-task
prime.md	Routes to /metaswarm:prime
review-design.md	Routes to /metaswarm:review-design
self-reflect.md	Routes to /metaswarm:self-reflect
pr-shepherd.md	Routes to /metaswarm:pr-shepherd
brainstorm.md	Routes to /metaswarm:brainstorm

For each: report Present/Missing. If the file exists but does not contain "metaswarm" routing, flag as present (non-metaswarm content).

4. Legacy Embedded Plugin

• Check for .claude/plugins/metaswarm/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
• If found: DETECTED -- run /metaswarm:migrate
• If found alongside the marketplace plugin, flag prominently as a conflict

5. BEADS Plugin

• Scan ~/.claude/plugins/cache/ for a directory containing .claude-plugin/plugin.json with "name": "beads"
• If found: installed (standalone) -- metaswarm defers priming to BEADS
• If not found: not separately installed

6. bd CLI

command -v bd && bd --version 2>/dev/null

• If found: report path and version
• If not found: not installed -- knowledge priming and self-reflect require bd. Core orchestration works without it.

7. External Tools

• Read .metaswarm/external-tools.yaml -- if absent: not configured (optional)
• If present, check each enabled adapter's availability:

command -v codex    # Codex CLI
command -v gemini   # Gemini CLI

Report per-tool: enabled (yes/no), status (available/not installed).

8. Coverage Thresholds

• Read .coverage-thresholds.json -- if absent: not configured
• If present, report threshold values (lines, branches, functions, statements) and enforcement command

9. Node.js

node --version 2>/dev/null

• If found: report version
• If not found: not installed -- scripts/beads-*.ts require Node.js. Core orchestration works without it.

Output Format

## Metaswarm Status Report

| Component | Status |
|---|---|
| Plugin version | 1.0.0 |
| Project setup | Configured (distribution: plugin) |
| Command shims | 6/6 present |
| Legacy embedded plugin | Not detected |
| BEADS plugin | Not separately installed |
| bd CLI | Available (v0.5.2) |
| External tools | Codex: available, Gemini: not installed |
| Coverage thresholds | 100% (all categories) |
| Node.js | Available (v22.4.0) |

### Issues Found
- None

### Recommendations
- None

When issues are found:

### Issues Found
1. Legacy embedded plugin detected alongside marketplace plugin -- run `/metaswarm:migrate`
2. Command shim `start-task.md` missing -- run `/metaswarm:setup`

### Recommendations
1. Install `bd` CLI for knowledge priming and self-reflect
2. Configure external tools for cross-model review (`.metaswarm/external-tools.yaml`)

Error Handling

This skill is diagnostic-only and never fails fatally. If any individual check errors, report the failure for that check (e.g., Plugin version: ERROR -- could not read plugin.json) and continue with remaining checks.
