perpetualsoftware/pad/status

Run pad project dashboard --format json. Before presenting results, handle these two failure modes:

• pad CLI missing (command not found): say so and point at https://getpad.dev/install.

Don't retry or guess at alternate paths.

• No .pad.toml found in the directory tree: say this project isn't linked to a Pad

workspace yet and suggest /pad:onboard.

If the response's needs_onboarding field is true, lead with the same active offer the main skill uses — before anything else: "This workspace is brand new and isn't set up yet. Want me to set it up? I'll ask a few quick questions and adapt it to your project." This is an offer, not an auto-run; mention /pad:onboard as the shortcut for later.

Otherwise, present it conversationally: collection summaries, active plan progress, attention items (stalled/overdue), and suggested next actions.

Connection header (show this first, above the dashboard). Also run pad session status --format json and lead with a one-line connection state, so a user who types /pad:status after reading the push docs sees whether this session is wired to Pad's live stream:

• announced_armed true → "Set to accept pushes (armed)." announced_armed means

consent is on, NOT that a monitor is connected — so only add a live claim from the server: if server_reachable is true, "server sees accepting_sessions of connected_sessions sessions accepting pushes"; if false, "(server not reachable)".

• local_state is disarmed and auto_arm is true → "Disconnected this session

(auto_arm will re-arm the next session)."

• local_state is error → "Local push state unreadable — failing closed; run

/pad:connect to reset."

• local_state is unverifiable → "This session can't be verified from here (this platform, or another namespace), so

a local connect can't take effect — use push.auto_arm in .pad.toml; pad session reset clears the local override."

• otherwise not accepting → "Not accepting pushes — run /pad:connect to receive them

here."

Keep it to one line; it's a header, not the main event. If pad session status fails (e.g. padd unreachable), skip the header rather than blocking the dashboard.
