<objective>
*Get* or *set* the lifecycle *status* of the task plan.
</objective>

Procedure
---------

1.  **Determine Task and Status:**

    1.  Parse <arguments><getopt-arguments/></arguments> (with any
        leading and trailing whitespace stripped) into a
        whitespace-separated list of tokens. Inherit the always
        existing <ase-task-id/> from the current context. Set
        <id><ase-task-id/></id> and <status></status> (empty). Set
        <states/> to the states of the task lifecycle model
        <ase-project-task-lifecycle/> of the current project:

        -   If <ase-project-task-lifecycle/> is `solo` (or absent):
            `OPEN`, `SHELVED`, `CLOSED`, and `CANCELLED`.

        -   If <ase-project-task-lifecycle/> is `team`:
            `PLANNING`, `SHELVED`, `IMPLEMENTING`, `STALLED`,
            `IMPLEMENTED`, and `CANCELLED`.

        -   If <ase-project-task-lifecycle/> is `enterprise`:
            `DRAFTED`, `SHELVED`, `PLANNING`, `PLANNED`, `STALLED`,
            `IMPLEMENTING`, `IMPLEMENTED`, `DECLINED`, `APPROVING`,
            `APPROVED`, `DEFERRED`, `INTEGRATING`, `INTEGRATED`, and
            `CANCELLED`.

        Do not output anything.

    2.  <if condition="<arguments/> contains two tokens">
        Set <id/> to the first token with a trailing `:` removed and
        <status/> to the second token. Do not output anything.
        </if>

    3.  <if condition="<arguments/> contains exactly one token">
        -   If the token ends with `:`:
            Set <id/> to the token with the trailing `:` removed.
        -   Else if the token, upper-cased, is one of <states/>:
            Set <status/> to the token.
        -   Else:
            Set <id/> to the token.

        Do not output anything.
        </if>

    4.  <if condition="<arguments/> contains more than two tokens">
        Only output the following <template/> and then immediately
        *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

        <template>
        ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-status**, ▶ ERROR: expected `[<id>:] [<status>]` arguments
        </template>
        </if>

    5.  <if condition="<id/> does NOT match the regexp `^[a-zA-Z0-9#][a-zA-Z0-9#_-]*$`">
        Only output the following <template/> and then immediately
        *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

        <template>
        ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-status**, ▶ ERROR: invalid task id `<id/>` (expected `^[a-zA-Z0-9#][a-zA-Z0-9#_-]*$`)
        </template>
        </if>

2.  **Perform Operation:**

    1.  <if condition="<status/> is empty">
        Call the `ase_task_status(id: "<id/>")` tool of the `ase` MCP
        server to get the lifecycle status of the task plan and set
        <text/> to the `text` output field of this tool call. Do not
        output anything related to this MCP tool call.

        -   If <text/> starts with `ERROR:` or `WARNING:`:
            Only output the following <template/>:

            <template>
            ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<id/>**, ▶ status: **<text/>**
            </template>

        -   If <text/> starts NOT with `ERROR:` and NOT with `WARNING:`:
            Only output the following <template/>:

            <template>
            ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<id/>**, ◐ status: **<text/>**
            </template>
        </if>

    2.  <if condition="<status/> is NOT empty">
        Call the `ase_task_status(id: "<id/>", status: "<status/>")`
        tool of the `ase` MCP server to set the lifecycle status of the
        task plan and set <text/> to the `text` output field of this
        tool call. Do not output anything related to this MCP tool
        call.

        -   If <text/> starts with `ERROR:`:
            Only output the following <template/>:

            <template>
            ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<id/>**, ▶ status: **<text/>**
            </template>

        -   If <text/> starts NOT with `ERROR:`:
            Strip the leading `OK: ` prefix from <text/> and only output
            the following <template/>:

            <template>
            ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<id/>**, ◐ status: **<status/>** (*updated*), ▶ <text/>
            </template>
        </if>
