Project Overview Tools

Tools for loading project context and viewing status.

These tools give you and Claude Code a picture of your project state. The get_project_summary tool runs automatically at the start of every session.

get_project_summary

Lightweight snapshot of all active work with epic progress. Returns open epics, task counts per status, active sprint info, and recent activity. This is the primary context-loading tool.

When it runs: Called automatically at session start. Never counts as a write action.

Example trigger: "Show me what we're working on"

get_status

Aggregate project metrics — total tasks, tasks by status category, active sprint details, and velocity data. More detailed than get_project_summary for status-focused queries.

When it runs: Called when you ask about project health, velocity, or aggregate metrics.

Example trigger: "How's the project doing? What's our sprint progress?"

list_epics

Lists all epics in the project with progress bars showing done, in-progress, and todo counts for child issues.

When it runs: Called when you ask about epics, features, or high-level work items.

Example trigger: "What epics do we have? Show me all features"

get_epic

Deep dive into a single epic: all child tasks with their statuses, recent comments, and progress breakdown.

When it runs: Called when you ask about a specific epic or feature.

Example trigger: "Show me the details of the auth epic"

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
