-# Workflow Status Check - Multi-Mode Service
-
-The workflow execution engine is governed by: {project-root}/_bmad/core/tasks/workflow.xml
-You MUST have already loaded and processed: {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/workflow-status/workflow.yaml
-This workflow operates in multiple modes: interactive (default), validate, data, init-check, update
-Other workflows can call this as a service to avoid duplicating status logic
-⚠️ 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.
-
-
-
-
- Check for {{mode}} parameter passed by calling workflow
- Default mode = "interactive" if not specified
-
-
- Continue to Step 1 for normal status check flow
-
-
-
- Jump to Step 10 for workflow validation service
-
-
-
- Jump to Step 20 for data extraction service
-
-
-
- Jump to Step 30 for simple init check
-
-
-
- Jump to Step 40 for status update service

-
-Parse these fields from YAML comments and metadata:
-
-- project (from YAML field)
-- project_type (from YAML field)
-- project_level (from YAML field)
-- field_type (from YAML field)

-
-Parse workflow_status section:
-
-- Extract all workflow entries with their statuses
-- Identify completed workflows (status = file path)
-- Identify pending workflows (status = required/optional/recommended/conditional)
-- Identify skipped workflows (status = skipped)
-
-Determine current state:
-
-- Find first workflow with status != file path and != skipped
-- This is the NEXT workflow to work on
-- Look up agent and command from workflow path file
-
-
-
-Load workflow path file based on workflow_path field
-Identify current phase from next workflow to be done
-Build list of completed, pending, and optional workflows
-For each workflow, look up its agent from the path file
-

-
-
-What would you like to do?
-
-1. **Start next workflow** - {{next_workflow_name}} ({{next_agent}})
- {{#if optional_workflows_available}}
-2. **Run optional workflow** - Choose from available options
- {{/if}}
-3. **View full status YAML** - See complete status file
-4. **Update workflow status** - Mark a workflow as completed or skipped
-5. **Exit** - Return to agent
