/progress — Progress Dashboard Skill

Purpose

Display a comprehensive dashboard of reading and writing progress: source counts by status, chapter word counts versus targets, and coverage gaps. Use to get a quick overview of the thesis project state.

Trigger Words

This skill activates on: progress, dashboard, status, how far, /progress.

Workflow

1. Count reading notes by status. Scan all *_NOTES.md files in literature/reading_notes/ using Glob. For each file, extract the Status field and tally counts for reading, completed, and integrated.

2. Count chapter word counts. For each file in chapters/, count words (split on whitespace, exclude Markdown syntax markers like #, |, ---). Compare against target word counts if a configuration file or chapter metadata specifies them. If no target is specified, use 5,000 words per chapter as the default.

3. Calculate coverage per chapter. Use the same logic as /map -- count how many sources are mapped to each chapter via the Relevance and Thesis Connections fields in notes files.

4. Output the dashboard.
