# Progress Monitoring Skill

## Overview

Monitors agent progress via state transitions, detects stalls, and escalates issues.

## Prerequisites

Requires **AGENT_OPERATIONS.md**, **amoa-label-taxonomy**, **amoa-messaging-templates**, AI Maestro API, GitHub CLI.

## Instructions

States: Acknowledged, No ACK, Active, No Progress, Stale, Unresponsive, Blocked, Complete. Transitions: Assigned→Acknowledged→Active→Complete. Stalls: No Progress→Stale→Unresponsive.
<!-- TOC: Escalation|Reminders|Reassignment|Progress|Completion -->

1. Query `status:in-progress` issues; determine each agent's state via timestamps
2. No ACK/No Progress/Stale → send reminder or status request
3. Unresponsive → escalate; Blocked → create `type:blocker` issue, notify user
4. Complete → verify PR, tests, review, docs; update labels
<!-- TOC: IronRule|BlockerDef|Protocol|Labels|Resolution|Lifecycle -->

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

- [ ] Query in-progress issues and determine agent states
- [ ] Send reminders/escalate as needed per state
- [ ] Verify completions and update labels

## Output

State report table (task, agent, state, last update) + escalation messages + blocker issues.

## Examples

**Input:** Query state for task #42 assigned to `libs-svg-svgbbox`
**Output:** `| #42 | libs-svg-svgbbox | Stale | 2h ago |` → sends status request

## Error Handling

Escalate: reminder→urgent→reassignment. Blockers→`type:blocker` issues. See [references/monitoring-examples.md](references/monitoring-examples.md).
