davekilleen / project-health
Scan active projects for status, blockers and next actions. Use when the user says 'how are my projects', 'what's stuck', 'project status'. Also use proactively when projects have gone quiet. Not for writing a spec for a new product idea; use `product-brief`.

Quick scan of all active projects to see what's stalled, blocked, or needs attention.
What This Does
Checks each project in 04-Projects/ for:
- Activity levels (when was project last touched?)
- Week Priorities presence (does project have active tasks?)
- Blockers (anything blocking progress?)
- Next steps clarity (is the next action clear?)
Process
Step 1: Scan Projects
List all projects in 04-Projects/:
ls -la 04-Projects/Step 2: Check Each Project
For each project folder or file:
Activity Check:
- Get last modification time
- >7 days without activity = yellow
- >14 days without activity = red
Week Priorities Presence:
- Scan
00-Inbox/Weekly_Plans.mdfor project mentions - No tasks for 2+ weeks = yellow
Blocker Check:
- Look for "blocked", "waiting on", "stuck" in project notes
- Any logged blocker = red
Next Step Clarity:
- Check if there's a clear next action
- No next step = yellow
Step 3: Output Dashboard
### Project Health Dashboard
| Project | Status | Issue | Days Since Activity |
|---------|--------|-------|---------------------|
| [Project A] | 🟢 | On track | 2 |
| [Project B] | 🟡 | No active tasks | 8 |
| [Project C] | 🔴 | Blocked - waiting on [X] | 15 |
**Summary:** [N] projects ([X] 🟢 / [Y] 🟡 / [Z] 🔴)Status Meanings
- 🟢 Green: Active, clear next steps, no blockers
- 🟡 Yellow: Stale 7-14 days, OR no active tasks, OR unclear next step
- 🔴 Red: Blocked, OR stale 14+ days
When to Use
- Weekly planning to check project health
- When feeling disconnected from the big picture
- Before 1:1s to surface blocked projects
- When deciding what to work on next
Follow-up Actions
For yellow projects:
- Add a task to Week Priorities
- Clarify next step in project notes
For red projects:
- Identify what's blocking progress
- Escalate if needed
- Or decide to pause/archive the project
Track Usage (Silent)
Call the mark_feature_used tool on the dex-analytics MCP server with project-health. This ticks the feature's box in System/usage_log.md, which is what /dex-level-up reads to recommend features that have not been tried. It writes locally and sends nothing, so it runs whether or not analytics is enabled.
Analytics (Silent):
Call track_event with eventname `projecthealth_checked` and properties:
- projects_reviewed
- blockers_found
This only fires if the user has opted into analytics. No action needed if it returns "analytics_disabled".
