# /status — Work Item Status

List active work items from `.forge/work/` without modifying files.

## Scope

Reports in-flight `.forge/work/` items and their current phase. Read-only — does not modify manifests, files, or wiki. Does NOT resume work or route between commands. Invoke when the user asks "what's in flight?" or before `/resume` (to pick a target).

## Steps

1. Find manifests at `.forge/work/*/*/manifest.yaml`.
2. Exclude items whose `status` is `completed` or `escalated`.
3. For each remaining item, infer the current phase from the first phase or gate that is not complete, locked, skipped, or not-applicable. Prefer explicit fields such as `build.current_phase` when present.
4. Print a table:

```markdown
| Type | Name | Status | Current phase | Manifest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| feature | add-payments | in-progress | quality.test-execution | .forge/work/feature/add-payments/manifest.yaml |
```

If no in-flight items exist, say so clearly.
