status

Current task state (auto-injected)

Task file exists?

!`test -f deep-engineer/current-task.md && echo "YES — active task" || echo "NO — no active task"`

Warning count:

!`grep -c '"warning"' deep-engineer/log.jsonl 2>/dev/null || echo "0"` warnings in log

---

Instructions

Step 1: Call mcp__deep-engineer__read_task with cwd = current working directory.

If no active task exists, tell the user:

No active task. Start one with /deep-engineer:solve <problem description>.

If a task exists, continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Call mcp__deep-engineer__check_warnings with cwd = current working directory.

Step 3: Call mcp__deep-engineer__detect_test_runner with cwd = current working directory.

Step 4: Format the response:

Active Task Status

Next action:

For the "Next action", be specific:

• generalize → "List 5+ scenarios and call save_task"
• hypothetical-testing → "Walk through each scenario mentally, document in a table"
• tdd-write-tests → "Write test files, run them, confirm all fail"
• implement → "Write implementation to pass all tests"
• verify → "Run all tests, fix failures, loop until green"
