Next Step

How to Find Next Step

Run this command to see active phases and their next unimplemented step:

if [ -d .ushabti/​phases ] && [ "$(ls -A .ushabti/​phases 2>/​dev/​null)" ]; then
  for dir in .ushabti/​phases/​*/; do
    status=$(grep "^  status:" "$dir/​progress.yaml" 2>/​dev/​null | awk '{print $2}')
    if [ "$status" = "building" ] || [ "$status" = "planned" ]; then
      name=$(basename "$dir")
      next=$(awk '/​- id:/​{id=$3} /​implemented: false/​{print id; exit}' "$dir/​progress.yaml" 2>/​dev/​null)
      impl=$(grep -c "implemented: true" "$dir/​progress.yaml" 2>/​dev/​null || echo 0)
      total=$(grep -c "implemented:" "$dir/​progress.yaml" 2>/​dev/​null || echo 0)
      if [ -n "$next" ]; then
        echo "$name: next step is $next ($impl/​$total done)"
      else
        echo "$name: all steps implemented - ready for review"
      fi
    fi
  done
else
  echo "No active phases"
fi

How Steps Are Tracked

In progress.yaml, each step has:

  • id: Step identifier (S001, S002, ...)
  • implemented: false until Builder completes it
  • reviewed: false until Overseer verifies it

Workflow

  1. Find the current phase (use find-current-phase)
  2. Read progress.yaml to find first step with implemented: false
  3. Read that step's details in steps.md
  4. Implement the step
  5. Update progress.yaml: set implemented: true, add notes, list touched files
  6. Repeat until all steps are implemented

When All Steps Are Done

If no steps have implemented: false, the phase is ready for review. Set phase.status: review in progress.yaml and hand off to Overseer.
