Project Tracker

Track every project in one place. Know what's moving, what's stalled, and what to kill.

by The Agent Ledger — theagentledger.com

Setup

Create projects/ directory and projects/DASHBOARD.md:

# Project Dashboard

Last updated: [date]

| Project | Status | Priority | Next Action | Due |
|---------|--------|----------|-------------|-----|

## Active Projects
<!-- Agent maintains this section -->

## On Hold
<!-- Paused but not abandoned -->

## Completed
<!-- Archive of finished work -->

How It Works

Adding a Project

When the user mentions a new project, create projects/<project-name>.md:

# Project: [Name]

**Status:** 🟢 Active | 🟡 On Hold | 🔴 Blocked | ✅ Done
**Priority:** P1 (critical) | P2 (important) | P3 (nice-to-have)
**Started:** [date]
**Target:** [deadline or "ongoing"]
**One-liner:** [what this project is in one sentence]

## Milestones

- [ ] Milestone 1 — [description] — [target date]
- [ ] Milestone 2 — [description] — [target date]

## Progress Log

### [date]
- What happened today

## Decisions

| Date | Decision | Rationale |
|------|----------|-----------|

## Blockers

- [blocker] → [who/what can unblock it]

Dashboard Updates

Update projects/DASHBOARD.md whenever:

• A project status changes
• A milestone is completed
• A new project is added
• During weekly reviews

Stalled Project Detection

A project is stalled if:

• No progress log entry in 7+ days
• Status is 🟢 Active but no recent milestone movement
• Has unresolved blockers older than 3 days

Flag stalled projects in daily briefings or heartbeat checks:

⚠️ Stalled: [Project Name] — no updates in [N] days. Continue, pause, or kill?

Weekly Review Format

Generate every Sunday (or on request):

# Weekly Project Review — [date range]

## Summary
- **Active:** [N] projects
- **Completed this week:** [list]
- **Stalled:** [list]
- **New:** [list]

## Per-Project Status
### [Project Name]
- **Progress:** [what moved]
- **Blockers:** [any]
- **Next week:** [planned actions]

## Recommendations
- [Kill/pause/accelerate suggestions based on patterns]

Priority Scoring

When the user has too many active projects, help prioritize:

Weighted score = Σ(weight × score). Projects below 2.5 are candidates for pause/kill.
