Update Progress Files
Keep tracking files synchronized with completed work.
Step 0: Determine Context
- Check for --feature parameter:
- If
--feature=Xprovided, setfeature_name = X -
Otherwise, check if
memory-bank/features/exists -
If features exist and no param specified:
- Check recent git changes to infer which feature was worked on
-
Or ask: "Which feature did you work on? (or 'main' for the main project)"
-
Set paths based on context:
If feature_name and feature_name != 'main': plan_file = memory-bank/features/{feature_name}/plan.md progress_file = memory-bank/features/{feature_name}/progress.md Else: plan_file = memory-bank/plan.md progress_file = memory-bank/progress.md (or progress.txt)
Step 1: Find Files
Search for the plan and progress files at the determined paths.
Fallback search (in priority order):
- Plan:
1. memory-bank/*-implementation-plan.md or memory-bank/implementation-plan.md
2. *-implementation-plan.md or implementation-plan.md (project root)
3. docs/*-implementation-plan.md or docs/implementation-plan.md
4. First **/*implementation-plan*.md found elsewhere
- Progress:
1. progress.txt, progress.md, PROGRESS.md (project root)
2. memory-bank/progress.txt, memory-bank/progress.md
If multiple matches: Ask the user which file to use.
If no implementation plan exists, skip plan updates and only update progress.
Step 2: Read Current Files
Read:
- The implementation plan file (if found)
- The progress file
Step 3: Analyze Recent Changes
If no description provided, analyze:
git diff HEAD~1 --name-only
git log -1 --oneline
Identify:
- What files were changed
- What was implemented
- Which story this corresponds to (match against plan)
Step 4: Update progress.md
Follow this format:
# Progress: {Feature/Product Name}
## Status: In Progress
## Current Story
Story {N}: {title}
## Completed
- [x] Story 1: {title} (2025-01-20)
- [x] Story 2: {title} (2025-01-20)
## In Progress
- [ ] Story 3: {title}
## Remaining
- [ ] Story 4: {title}
- [ ] Story 5: {title}
## Notes
- {date}: {observation or decision made}
Update rules:
- Move completed stories from "Remaining" → "Completed" with date
- Add (date) suffix to completed items
- Update "Current Story" to reflect what's being worked on
- Add notes for important decisions or blockers
Step 5: Update Implementation Plan (if exists)
Update checkbox status in {plan_file}:
- - [ ] to - [x] for completed implementation tasks
- Keep - [ ] for validation tasks (require manual testing)
Important distinction:
- Implementation tasks = Code exists → Can be checked
- Validation tasks = Requires human testing → Stay unchecked
Step 6: Confirmation
Output:
## Progress Updated
### Context
- Feature: {feature_name or 'main'}
### Progress file
- Updated: {progress_file}
- Completed: Story {N} - {title}
- Next: Story {M} - {title}
### Implementation plan
- File: {plan_file or "Not found - skipped"}
- Tasks checked: {X items}
- Still pending: {Y items}
### Summary
{X}/{Y} stories complete for {feature_name or 'main project'}
Feature Flag Examples
/update-progress # Asks which feature or infers from git
/update-progress --feature=dark-mode # Updates dark-mode progress
/update-progress --feature=main # Updates main project progress
Auto-Detection
When no feature is specified, try to auto-detect:
1. Check git diff --name-only for paths containing features/{name}/
2. Check recent file modifications in memory-bank/features/
3. If unclear, ask the user
