/pending-show — what is this session working on?
Quick status display. Read-only. Run any time to answer “where am I?” or “what did I say I was going to do?”.
What it shows
In order:
- Current branch + PR. Branch name, PR number (if open), PR title.
- Beans list. Current in-progress or todo beans for this session (via
beans list). - Goal scope. From
STATUS.md: which goal(s) the current PR touches. - Master ledger intent. The “INTENT” cell of the current session-log row in
docs/coordination/<goal>.md.
Output format (compact)

beans listto find tasks matching the current scope. STATUS.md— find row where “Active PRs” contains current PRdocs/coordination/<goal>.md— find session-log row for current branch
When to invoke
- User asks “what are you working on?” / “what’s left?” / “status?”.
- Mid-session checkpoint — ensure ledger is consistent with Beans state.
- Before a context handoff (compaction event, end of session).
