## Capabilities

- Requests a GitHub Elements status report through the reporter agent.
- Summarizes active DEV, TEST, and REVIEW threads.
- Shows phase distribution across active workflow items.
- Lists available work that is ready but not claimed.
- Highlights workflow health indicators, violations, and checkpoint frequency.
- Respects local settings that can disable or reduce status output.

## Use Cases

- Start a Coordination Session: Get a quick overview of active work before assigning or reviewing GitHub Elements issues.
- Check Review Load: See how many items are in DEV, TEST, and REVIEW before planning the next handoff.
- Find Ready Work: Identify ready issues that are not claimed without changing the workflow state.

```

## Limitations

- It is intended for status review, not issue claiming or phase transitions.
- It depends on GitHub Elements labels and reporter-agent behavior.
- It does not provide detailed metrics or epic-specific reports.
- Local settings can reduce the amount of information returned.

## Best Practices

- Use this skill at session start before claiming or transitioning issues.
- Keep local settings current so disabled or reduced output is intentional.
- Use ghe-report when you need detailed metrics or epic-specific analysis.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use this skill to claim issues or change issue phases.
- Do not treat the status overview as a full audit or detailed report.
- Do not post status information externally unless the user explicitly requests it.

## Security Audit

- Summary: Most external command findings are false positives caused by Markdown inline code and fenced output examples. The hidden home directory access is confirmed because a read-only status skill grants write scope to ~/.claude. Semantic review also found absolute behavioral override language and mandatory report posting that conflict with read-only expectations.
