name: k2-dev:report description: This skill should be used when you need to generate a comprehensive status report for a beads ticket, including summary, progress, dependencies, PR status, and next steps. Use this after workflow completion or when the user requests a ticket status report. version: 1.0.0
Report Skill - Ticket Status Report Generation
Generate comprehensive structured reports for beads tickets with complete context.
When to Use This Skill
- After completing
/k2:startworkflow (Phase 9) to provide final status report - When user requests ticket status via
/k2:report {ticket-id} - When Technical Lead needs comprehensive ticket overview
- For tracking progress across multiple tickets
Execution Context
This skill executes in the main conversation context, not as an isolated agent. You have access to all tools (Bash, Read, etc.) to gather ticket information and generate reports.
Report Generation Process
Step 1: Parse Ticket ID
If ticket ID is provided as argument, use it. Otherwise, ask: "Which ticket would you like a report for?"
Step 2: Fetch Data in Parallel
PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION: Run all commands simultaneously using multiple Bash tool calls in a single message:
bd show {ticket-id} # title, description, status, priority, dates, assignee
bd comments {ticket-id} # all comments with timestamps
bd dep list {ticket-id} # dependencies (blockers/blocking/parent/child/epic)
git worktree list | grep -q "beads-{ticket-id}" && echo "worktree" || (git branch --list "feature/beads-{ticket-id}" | grep -q . && echo "branch" || echo "none") # check worktree OR branch
gh pr view feature/beads-{ticket-id} --json url,state,reviewDecision 2>/dev/null || echo "No PR" # direct PR lookup (faster than search)
Performance notes:
- All 5 commands are independent - execute in parallel for ~70-80% faster execution
gh pr viewis ~60% faster thangh pr list --search(direct lookup vs search)- Combined git check handles both worktree and branch scenarios
Step 3: Generate Structured Report
Format the collected data using this markdown template:
# Ticket Report: {ticket-id}
## Summary
**Title:** {title} | **Status:** {status} | **Priority:** {priority} | **Assignee:** {assignee or "Unassigned"}
## Description
{description}
## Progress
**Created:** {created_date} | **Last Updated:** {updated_date} | **Current Phase:** {infer from status/comments}
## Related Work
**Git Branch:** feature/beads-{ticket-id} {worktree/branch/none - from combined check}
**Pull Request:** {PR URL & status from JSON or "Not created yet"}
## Dependencies
{list: depends-on (blockers), blocks (blocking), parent/child relationships, epic membership}
## Comments & History
{chronological list with timestamps - include automated & manual comments}
## Next Steps
{status-based actions:
- open: Start implementation with /k2:start {ticket-id}
- in_progress: Check work branch, continue implementation, review progress
- blocked: Resolve blocking dependencies listed above
- closed: Review completed work, verify PR merged}
Step 4: Present Report
Present the complete markdown report to the user in a clear, well-formatted way.
Error Handling
Ticket not found:
Error: Ticket {ticket-id} not found. Use 'bd list' to see available tickets.
Exit and inform user.
Beads command fails:
Error: Unable to fetch ticket information. Ensure beads is installed and synced.
Exit and inform user to check beads installation and run bd sync.
Usage Examples
Example 1: Report After Workflow Completion
Context: Technical Lead completed /k2:start workflow and reached Phase 9
Action: Invoke Skill tool with "k2-dev:report" and ticket-id
Result: Comprehensive report showing completed work, PR status, and follow-ups
Example 2: User Requests Report via Command
Context: User runs /k2:report beads-123
Action: Command invokes this skill with ticket-id "beads-123"
Result: Full status report for the specified ticket
Integration with K2-Dev Workflow
This skill is invoked:
- From
/k2:startcommand: At Phase 9 (after merge and cleanup) to provide final comprehensive report - From
/k2:reportcommand: When user explicitly requests a ticket status report - From Technical Lead agent: When generating status reports for ticket oversight
Performance Characteristics
- Parallel execution: All data fetching done in parallel (~70-80% faster)
- Fast PR lookup: Direct
gh pr viewinstead of search (~60% faster) - Single pass: All data collected in one round-trip
- Minimal overhead: Executes in main context, no agent spawning cost
Remember: This is a skill, not an agent. Execute the logic directly in the current conversation context using available tools.
