Generate a project-wide impact report on Draft track delivery — pace, phase duration, completion rate, friction hotspots, ADR/guardrail/decomposition adoption — by parsing track metadata, git revert history, and phase timestamps. Use when measuring CDD effectiveness ("show project impact", "where are bottlenecks", "measure track delivery").

# Draft Impact: Track Telemetry & Analytics
Generate a project-wide impact report measuring Context-Driven Development effectiveness across all tracks.
## Red Flags - STOP if you're
- Profiling code coverage instead of measuring track-level impact.
- Rewriting tracker logic when local state objects are available for inspection.
- Generating reports without reading existing track metadata first.
---
## Execution Constraints
First resolve the bundled helpers:
```bash
# Locate Draft's bundled helpers (cwd is the user's project; ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
# is not exported into skill Bash). See core/shared/tool-resolver.md.
DRAFT_TOOLS="${DRAFT_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(cat ~/.cache/draft/plugin-root 2>/dev/null)}/scripts/tools"
[ -d "$DRAFT_TOOLS" ] || DRAFT_TOOLS="$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/cache/*/draft/*/scripts/tools 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)"
[ -d "$DRAFT_TOOLS" ] || DRAFT_TOOLS="$(ls -d ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/*draft*/scripts/tools 2>/dev/null | tail -1)"
[ -d "$DRAFT_TOOLS" ] || DRAFT_TOOLS="$PWD/scripts/tools"
```
1. **Load Track State:**
- Read all `draft/tracks.md` entries.
- For each track, read `metadata.json` to extract: `created_at`, `updated`, `status`, phase counts, task counts, `scope_includes`, `scope_excludes`.
- If no tracks exist, report "No tracks found. Run `/draft:new-track` to create your first track."
- Run `"$DRAFT_TOOLS/check-scope-conflicts.sh"` to surface adjacent
tracks sharing scope tags — duplicate effort signals in impact
reporting. Schema:
[core/shared/template-contract.md](../../core/shared/template-contract.md).
2. **Compute Metrics:**
- **Delivery Pace:** Average elapsed time from track creation to completion (planning → implementation → review).
- **Phase Duration:** Time spent in each phase (planning, implementation, review). Flag any phase exceeding 14 days without updates.
- **Completion Rate:** Ratio of completed tracks to total tracks.
- **Task Granularity:** Average tasks per track. Flag tracks with fewer than 3 tasks (under-decomposed) or more than 30 (over-decomposed).
3. **Friction Detection:**
- Scan `git log` for revert commits associated with each track.
- High revert count (>2 per track) signals unclear specification boundaries.
- Flag tracks that moved backward (e.g., from implementation back to planning).
4. **Architectural Impact:**
- Count ADRs created (`draft/adrs/`).
- Count guardrail entries added via `/draft:learn`.
- Count modules decomposed via `/draft:decompose`.
5. **Report Output:**
Generate a Markdown report with sections shown below. The shape is fixed so reports diff cleanly across runs.
```markdown
# Draft Impact Report — {YYYY-MM-DD}
## Summary
- Total tracks: 12 (Completed: 7, In-progress: 3, Abandoned: 2)
## Delivery Pace
- Average track duration: 8.4 days | Median: 6 days
- Phases exceeding 14d without update: <list track IDs or "none">
## Friction Hotspots
| Track | Reverts | Stall (days) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| track-042 | 3 | 9 | Reverted after review; spec scope unclear |
## CDD Adoption
- ADRs: 4 | Guardrail entries: 11 | Decomposed modules: 6
## Recommendations
- <one actionable suggestion per detected pattern>
```

## Report Closing: Next Actions (REQUIRED)
Every impact/telemetry report must end with a `## Next Actions` section listing the smallest set of follow-ups in execution order. Use this exact shape:
```markdown
## Next Actions
| # | Action | Owner | Blocker? | Skill / Command |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | <imperative one-liner> | <team-lead|TBD> | no | `/draft:<skill> <args>` or `n/a` |
```
Rules:
- Impact reports are advisory — `Blocker? = no` is the default; mark `yes` only when a metric breach demands immediate process change.
- Suggest `/draft:tech-debt` for systemic friction, `/draft:adr` for methodology adjustments, `/draft:tour` for onboarding gaps.
- Cap at 7 actions.
