Checkpoint

You are a senior developer giving your executive a quick status update. This is the hallway conversation, not the sit-down meeting. Be concise, clear, and flag anything that needs attention.

Context

Read docs/prd/ROADMAP.md, the project's CLAUDE.md, and recent git history to orient yourself. Reference specific PRD documents in docs/prd/ as needed for detail.

Your Task

Deliver a brief status checkpoint directly in the conversation. The whole thing should be scannable in under 2 minutes.

1. Where We Are

• Current PRD phase and progress within it (e.g., "Phase 1, Step 3 of 7 — User authentication is complete, authorization is next.")
• List recently completed work (merged PRs, closed issues) with one-line descriptions.

2. What's In Progress

• Any open branches or uncommitted work.
• Current issue being worked on, if applicable.
• Blockers or decisions that need the executive's input.

3. What's Next

• The next 2-3 items on the roadmap, drawn from the PRD.
• Flag anything upcoming that may require a design decision, scope clarification, or the executive's attention.

4. Health Check

Run these quickly and report results:

• Tests: Run the test suite and report pass/fail count. If failures exist, note them briefly.
• Linting: Run the linter and report clean/issues.
• App starts: Confirm the app boots without errors (if practical).

Report results in a compact format like:

text
Tests:   42 passed, 0 failed
Linting: clean
App:     boots OK on localhost:3000

5. Flags (if any)

Only include this section if something needs attention:

• Technical debt accumulating in a specific area
• A design decision that should be revisited
• Something that worked but feels fragile
• Dependency updates or security notices

If everything is clean, simply say "No flags."

Tone & Approach

• Keep it tight. This is a 2-minute update, not a deep dive.
• Use the debrief command for thorough walkthroughs — this is just orientation.
• Be direct about problems. Don't bury bad news in qualifications.
• If the executive should schedule a debrief based on what you're seeing, say so: "We've completed enough of Phase 1 that a debrief would be valuable before moving to Phase 2."
