# Workflow Status Check - Multi-Mode Service

<critical>The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/core/tasks/workflow.xml</critical>
<critical>You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/{bmad_folder}/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/workflow.yaml</critical>
<critical>This workflow operates in multiple modes: interactive (default), validate, data, init-check, update</critical>
<critical>Other workflows can call this as a service to avoid duplicating status logic</critical>
<critical>⚠️ ABSOLUTELY NO TIME ESTIMATES - NEVER mention hours, days, weeks, months, or ANY time-based predictions. AI has fundamentally changed development speed - what once took teams weeks/months can now be done by one person in hours. DO NOT give ANY time estimates whatsoever.</critical>

<action>Determine current state:</action>

- Find first workflow with status != file path and != skipped
