Progress Tracker

Track feature implementation progress by updating plan.md when tasks are completed.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when the user:

• Completes a task: "Done with X", "Finished the Y"
• Makes a commit related to the feature
• Says they've implemented something
• Explicitly asks to update progress

Important: Ask Before Writing

This skill modifies files. Always ask before making changes.

Instructions

Step 1: Identify the Feature

Read docs/features/DASHBOARD.md and look at the In Progress section to find current features.

If multiple exist, check context or ask which one.

Step 2: Load the Plan

Read docs/features/[id]/plan.md

Locate:

• Progress Log section (usually at the end)
• Implementation Steps section (checkbox list)

Step 3: Prepare Update

From the user's statement, identify what was completed and match it to implementation steps.

Prepare:

1. Progress log entry with date and description
2. Checkbox update: - [ ] → - [x]

Step 4: Confirm and Apply

Show proposed changes, get confirmation, then use Edit tool to apply.

Example

User: "Done with the JWT token refresh logic"

Response:

Update progress in plan.md?

1. Add progress log entry:
   ### 2026-01-15
   - Completed JWT token refresh logic in auth/tokens.ts
   - Next: Implement session timeout handling

2. Mark complete:
   - [x] Implement JWT token refresh logic

Proceed? (yes/no)

After confirmation:

Progress updated in plan.md:
- Added log entry for 2026-01-15
- Marked complete: Implement JWT token refresh logic

Remaining steps: 4 of 7

Error Handling

• No plan.md: "No implementation plan found. Run /feature-plan first."
• No matching step: "Couldn't find a matching step. Add to progress log only?"
• Multiple matches: List options and ask which to check off
