# Status Update

Synchronize project status across documentation after a milestone is completed.

## Current state

Read these files to understand the current project state:

- `RULES.md` section 6.2 — current phase (canonical source of truth)
- `RECOMMENDATIONS.md` section 1 — current phase field
- `.claude/status-update-checklist.md` — full checklist reference

## Steps

1. Read `.claude/status-update-checklist.md` and follow the **Milestone Update Checklist** section
2. Ask the user what milestone was completed: $ARGUMENTS
3. Update the files listed in the checklist:
   - `RECOMMENDATIONS.md` — add entry to Change Log (section 6), remove resolved Open Questions (section 5)
   - `README.md` — update status block if progress indicators changed
   - `docs/phases-plan.md` — mark completed tasks
4. Run the verification commands from the checklist to confirm consistency
5. Show the user a summary of what was updated
