Show the current task stack and context.
Provide a clear summary of:
1. Current task depth and what we're doing at each level
2. Where we are in the current task
3. What remains to be done
4. Any blockers or pending decisions
## Format
Use a visual stack representation showing the task hierarchy:
```
[Task 1: Main objective]
└─[Task 2: Subtask we pivoted to]
└─[Task 3: Current focus] ← YOU ARE HERE
- ✓ Completed step
- ⏳ Current step
- ○ Remaining step
```
## Key Points
- Be concise but complete
- Show the full context stack
- Indicate current position clearly
- List what's completed, in progress, and remaining
- Mention any blockers or decisions needed
- Include counts/quantities where helpful
