# Implement status
A read-only progress view for the `/build-tdds` run. The runner
writes a structured run-state record under
`docs/tdd/.implement-logs/<ts>/state.d/` (FR-27); this skill renders it.
## What you see
The snapshot derives the rendered view fresh on each call from the per-TDD
fragments — there is no second artifact that can drift from the record. It
shows:
- **Header** — mode (sequential / combined / parallel), integration branch,
elapsed time, run state.
- **Rollup** — `<completed> done / <total> · ~<P>% (estimate)` — the percent
is always suffixed `(estimate)` and never reads 100% while any TDD is
non-terminal (FR-30 honesty). Failed / blocked / skipped counts are reported
separately when non-zero.
- **Per-TDD table** — queue position, slug, status
(`pending|building|verifying|reviewing|done|failed|blocked|skipped`),
current stage (`build|test-first|verify|verify-runtime|review|flip`), and
the TDD's branch / PR URL when known.
- **Current focus** — the in-progress TDD and its stage, when a TDD is
non-terminal.
If no `/build-tdds` run is active, the skill says so plainly and (if a previous
run exists) summarizes the last run's final state. It never reports false
progress.
## Halted runs
When the most recent run is halted (state `paused`, `blocked`, or `failed`), the
snapshot switches to a one-screen halt context (FR-64): the halt cause from the
closed enum, the triggering finding reference, and the deterministic next-action
options, each on its own numbered line. Halted-run rendering fits 24×80 by
default; to see full logs use `cat docs/tdd/.implement-logs/<runid>/REPORT`. The
`Resume: /build-tdds --resume <runid>` line appears only when the cause is a
recoverable (paused-state) one.
A run whose state is `interrupted` (TDD 0030 §3) did not exit cleanly — the
runner died mid-gate, leaving one or more TDDs orphaned in a non-terminal status.
The snapshot renders a distinct "the run did not exit cleanly" banner naming each
orphaned TDD + gate and pointing at `/build-tdds --resume <runid>`; it is never
reported as `done`.
`--follow` watch mode in a non-interactive background job: use `kill -TERM` (or
`-HUP`/`-QUIT`), not `kill -INT` — SIGINT is silently un-trappable in that launch
mode per POSIX. SIGINT still works correctly in the foreground.
## Run it
For the on-demand snapshot, run the renderer once via a single Bash call and
relay the output:
```
_tl_src="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${GROK_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}}"
. "${_tl_src}/scripts/lib/plugin-root.sh"
bash "$(tl_plugin_root)/scripts/status.sh"
```
Add `--logdir <dir>` to inspect a specific historical run dir instead of the
active one.
## Live watch (do NOT invoke from this skill)
For a live watch that refreshes until you press Ctrl-C, hand the user the
following line for them to paste themselves as a foreground `!` command:
```
!bash -c '_tl_src="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${GROK_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}}"; . "${_tl_src}/scripts/lib/plugin-root.sh" && bash "$(tl_plugin_root)/scripts/status.sh" --follow'
```
DO NOT call `status.sh --follow` through the Bash tool from this skill — it is
an endless foreground loop that would block the session. The user runs it in
their TUI directly; Ctrl-C in their terminal exits the watch cleanly. The watch
is read-only — it never signals the build PID, never edits files, and offers
no pause / resume / cancel.
## Where the record lives
- `docs/tdd/.implement-logs/<ts>/state.d/run.json` — run-level rollup +
identity.
- `docs/tdd/.implement-logs/<ts>/state.d/<slug>.json` — one fragment per
queued TDD, updated atomically at every status / stage transition.
- `docs/tdd/.implement-logs/latest` — a symlink pointing at the active run's
`<ts>` directory; `status.sh` resolves it by default.
