## What it does

The command reads the team config from `~/.claude/teams/{team-name}/config.json` and calls `TaskList` for the current task state. It then prints two tables: members with their roles and status, and tasks with ID, owner and subject. Progress lands at the bottom as a percentage and a completed count.

You can skip the team name. In that case it checks `~/.claude/teams/` and, if several teams are active, lists them and asks you to pick one. The `--tasks` and `--members` flags narrow the output to a single table, while `--json` returns the raw config and task list as JSON — handy when another script has to consume the result.

One catch: with no `config.json` in the team directory there is nothing to display, so make sure the team exists where the command expects it. And `--json` replaces the formatted tables entirely, so it is the wrong flag for reading by eye.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install agent-teams@claude-code-workflows
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/team-status.md` — Call it with /team-status. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/team-status.md` — Call it with /prompts:team-status. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/team-status.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/team-status.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/HEAD/plugins/agent-teams/commands/team-status.md

## When to use it
- see which subagents are busy and which are idle
- check which tasks are still unassigned
- gauge how much of the team's work is done
- export team state as JSON for an external script
- find the right team when several exist in the directory

## Example prompts
- /team-status
- /team-status security-team --tasks
- /team-status --json

# Team Status

Display the current state of an active agent team including members, tasks, and progress.

## Phase 1: Team Discovery

1. Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for team name and flags:
   - If team name provided, use it directly
   - If no team name, check `~/.claude/teams/` for active teams
   - If multiple teams exist and no name specified, list all teams and ask user to choose
   - `--tasks`: show only task details
   - `--members`: show only member details
   - `--json`: output raw JSON instead of formatted table

2. Read team config from `~/.claude/teams/{team-name}/config.json` using the Read tool
3. Call `TaskList` to get current task state

## Phase 2: Status Display

### Members Table

Display each team member with their current state:

```
Team: {team-name}
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Members:
  Name              Role              Status
  ─────────────────────────────────────────
  security-rev      team-reviewer     working on task #2
  perf-rev          team-reviewer     idle
  arch-rev          team-reviewer     working on task #4
```

### Tasks Table

Display tasks with status, assignee, and dependencies:

```
Tasks:
  ID   Status        Owner           Subject
  ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
  #1   completed     security-rev    Review auth module
  #2   in_progress   security-rev    Review API endpoints
  #3   completed     perf-rev        Profile database queries
  #4   in_progress   arch-rev        Analyze module structure
  #5   pending       (unassigned)    Consolidate findings

Progress: 40% (2/5 completed)
```

### JSON Output

If `--json` flag is set, output the raw team config and task list as JSON.
