Comprehensive project context detection and state awareness.
## Triggers
- "what project is this"
- "project context"
- "what phase are we in"
- "where are we?"
- "what's next?"
- "project status"
- "current phase"
- "who is on the team"
- "what framework is active"
- "ready to transition?"
- "what's blocking us?"
- (Auto-triggered at session start for context building)
## Purpose
This skill provides rich project context awareness including:
- Project type and technology stack detection
- AIWG framework state (installed frameworks, current phase)
- Team configuration and agent assignments
- Recent activity and artifact status
- Active work detection (branches, PRs, iterations)
- Recommendations for next actions
## Behavior
When triggered, this skill:
1. **Detects project type**:
- Monorepo vs single project
- Library vs application vs service
- Web, API, CLI, mobile, etc.
- Programming languages and frameworks
2. **Identifies AIWG state**:
- Installed frameworks (SDLC, MMK, addons)
- Current lifecycle phase
- Active iteration (if applicable)
- Deployed agents and commands
3. **Parses team configuration**:
- Team roster from `.aiwg/team/`
- Agent assignments
- Role responsibilities
4. **Loads recent activity**:
- Git log (recent commits, active branches)
- Recent artifact changes
- Open PRs and issues
5. **Builds context object**:
- Structured data for other skills
- Summary for user display
- Recommendations for next actions

## Response Formats
### Quick Status (Default)
```
Phase: [Current Phase] ([X]% complete)
Iteration: [N] of [Total]
Next Milestone: [Milestone Name] - [Date/Status]
Blockers: [Count] ([List if < 3])
```
### Full Status (On Request)
```
## Project: [Name]
Phase: [Phase] | Iteration: [N]
Started: [Date] | Target: [Date]
### Completion
- Requirements: [X]%
- Architecture: [X]%
- Implementation: [X]%
- Testing: [X]%
### Active Work
- [Task 1] - [Owner] - [Status]
- [Task 2] - [Owner] - [Status]
### Blockers/Risks
- [Risk 1] - [Severity] - [Mitigation]
### Next Steps
1. [Action 1]

```
## Detection Methods
### Project Type Detection
| Indicator | Project Type |
|-----------|-------------|
| package.json + src/index.ts | Node.js application |
| package.json + lib/ | Node.js library |
| setup.py or pyproject.toml | Python package |
| Cargo.toml | Rust project |
| go.mod | Go module |
| pom.xml | Java Maven project |
| turbo.json or lerna.json | Monorepo |
### Framework Stack Detection
| Files | Framework |
|-------|-----------|
| next.config.js | Next.js |
| angular.json | Angular |
| vite.config.ts | Vite |
| django, manage.py | Django |
| express in package.json | Express |
| fastapi in requirements | FastAPI |
### AIWG State Detection
| Location | Information |
|----------|-------------|
| .aiwg/ | AIWG artifacts directory exists |
| .aiwg/config/registry.json | Installed frameworks |
| .aiwg/planning/phase-plan-*.md | Current phase |
| .aiwg/planning/iteration-*.md | Current iteration |
| .claude/agents/ | Deployed agents |
| .claude/commands/ | Deployed commands |
### Phase Detection Heuristics
| Artifacts Present | Likely Phase |
|-------------------|--------------|
| intake/ only | Concept/Inception |
| requirements/ + architecture/ draft | Inception |
| architecture/ baselined | Elaboration |
| testing/ + deployment/ draft | Construction |
| deployment/ baselined | Transition |
| All baselined + production logs | Production |
## Phase Reference
| Phase | Description | Key Artifacts |
|-------|-------------|---------------|
| Inception | Vision, risks, feasibility | intake forms, business case |
| Elaboration | Architecture baseline | SAD, ADRs, test strategy |
| Construction | Feature implementation | code, tests, reviews |
| Transition | Deployment, handover | runbooks, training |
| Production | Operations, iteration | monitoring, incidents |
## Command Bindings
This skill may trigger these commands based on context:
| Context | Command |
|---------|---------|
| User wants full report | `/project-status` |
| User asks about health | `/project-health-check` |
| User asks about gate readiness | `/flow-gate-check [phase]` |
| User seems lost on next steps | Suggest relevant flow command |
## Usage Examples
### Session Start Context
```
Model auto-invokes project-awareness
Returns:
"Project: MyAPI (Node.js/Express API)
Phase: Elaboration (Iteration 3)
Team: 4 members assigned
Recent: SAD approved, Test Plan in review
Recommendations:
- Complete Test Plan review
- Begin Construction planning"
```
### Explicit Query
```
User: "What phase are we in?"
Skill returns:
"Current Phase: Elaboration
Milestone: Architecture Baseline (ABM)
Progress: 75% complete
Completed:
✓ Requirements baseline
✓ SAD approved
✓ 3/5 ADRs written
Remaining:
- Test Plan approval
- Risk register update
- Gate check"
```
### Team Query
```
User: "Who owns the architecture?"
Skill returns:
"Architecture ownership:
- Lead: John (architecture-designer)
- Reviewers: Jane (security-architect), Bob (test-architect)
Recent activity:
- SAD v1.2 updated 2 days ago
- ADR-005 created yesterday"
```
## CLI Usage
```bash
# Full context dump
python project_awareness.py --full
# Specific aspects
python project_awareness.py --tech-stack
python project_awareness.py --aiwg-state
python project_awareness.py --team
python project_awareness.py --activity
# JSON output

```
## Integration
This skill provides context for:
- `artifact-orchestration`: Knows current phase for artifact selection
- `gate-evaluation`: Knows what gate to check
- `parallel-dispatch`: Knows which agents are relevant
- `template-engine`: Knows project name, type for templates
- All SDLC flows: Phase and iteration context
- All other skills that need project context
## Caching
Context is cached for performance:
- Tech stack: Cached until package files change
- AIWG state: Cached for 5 minutes
- Activity: Refreshed on each call
- Team: Cached until team files change
Cache location: `.aiwg/working/context-cache.json`
