Progress Narrator Skill
Purpose
Generate human-readable progress summaries for /guide and /check commands.
Reads state files and translates them into encouraging, clear, actionable narratives.
Adapts language based on user_mode (solo / team) from .cursor/state/onboarding.yaml.
Inputs
.cursor/state/onboarding.yaml.cursor/state/plan_progress.yaml.cursor/state/develop_phases.yaml.nezam/core/prd/PRD.md(for product name and type; respectproject.prdin paths yaml)
Output Rules
Solo / Friendly mode
- Use plain English, avoid technical terms
- When things are blocked: "Before you can [goal], you need to [simple action]"
- Celebrate milestones: "๐ Planning is complete โ time to start building!"
- When a phase unlocks: explain what they're about to work on in product terms
Team / Structured mode
- Use precise terminology: gate, phase, artifact, SPEC.md, hardlock
- Show agent assignments alongside tasks
- Show gate IDs (G0โG1, G1โG2 etc.) in phase transitions
- Swarm status footer on every substantive reply
