name: project-health description: Scan active projects for status, blockers, and next steps

Quick scan of all active projects to see what's stalled, blocked, or needs attention.

What This Does

Checks each project in 04-Projects/ for:

1. Activity levels (when was project last touched?)
2. Week Priorities presence (does project have active tasks?)
3. Blockers (anything blocking progress?)
4. Next steps clarity (is the next action clear?)

Process

Step 1: Scan Projects

List all projects in 04-Projects/:

ls -la 04-Projects/

Step 2: Check Each Project

For each project folder or file:

Activity Check:

• Get last modification time

• 7 days without activity = yellow

• 14 days without activity = red

Week Priorities Presence:

• Scan 00-Inbox/Weekly_Plans.md for project mentions
• No tasks for 2+ weeks = yellow

Blocker Check:

• Look for "blocked", "waiting on", "stuck" in project notes
• Any logged blocker = red

Next Step Clarity:

• Check if there's a clear next action
• No next step = yellow

Step 3: Output Dashboard

### Project Health Dashboard

| Project | Status | Issue | Days Since Activity |
|---------|--------|-------|---------------------|
| [Project A] | 🟢 | On track | 2 |
| [Project B] | 🟡 | No active tasks | 8 |
| [Project C] | 🔴 | Blocked - waiting on [X] | 15 |

**Summary:** [N] projects ([X] 🟢 / [Y] 🟡 / [Z] 🔴)

Status Meanings

• 🟢 Green: Active, clear next steps, no blockers
• 🟡 Yellow: Stale 7-14 days, OR no active tasks, OR unclear next step
• 🔴 Red: Blocked, OR stale 14+ days

When to Use

• Weekly planning to check project health
• When feeling disconnected from the big picture
• Before 1:1s to surface blocked projects
• When deciding what to work on next

Follow-up Actions

For yellow projects:

• Add a task to Week Priorities
• Clarify next step in project notes

For red projects:

• Identify what's blocking progress
• Escalate if needed
• Or decide to pause/archive the project

Track Usage (Silent)

Update System/usage_log.md to mark project health check as used.

Analytics (Silent):

Call track_event with event_name project_health_checked and properties:

• projects_reviewed
• blockers_found

This only fires if the user has opted into analytics. No action needed if it returns "analytics_disabled".
