Show requirements traceability status. Uses the reqstool MCP server if configured, falls back to the CLI.
Input: Optional module name from .reqstool-ai.yaml. Defaults to system-level.
Configuration
Read .reqstool-ai.yaml — see reqstool-conventions.md for field reference.
Steps
-
Read config
Read
.reqstool-ai.yaml. Build a mapping of module names to their paths. -
Determine which path to use
- If the user specified a module name (e.g.,
core), use that module's path from.reqstool-ai.yaml. - If no argument was given, default to the system-level path (
system.path). - If the user is working inside a module directory (e.g., a Gradle subproject), ask whether they want to run status for that module or for the system level.
- If the user specified a module name (e.g.,
-
Try MCP first
Call the
reqstoolMCP serverget_statustool.- If it succeeds: present the returned status (requirements met/total, test summary). Note: the MCP server always reflects the system-level path it was started with. If the user asked for a specific module and the MCP result does not scope to that path, note this limitation and proceed to the CLI fallback for the module path.
-
Fall back to CLI
If the MCP server is not configured or the call fails, immediately tell the user:
The reqstool MCP server is not configured — falling back to CLI.
Then run:
reqstool status local -p <path>Show the output directly — reqstool traverses imports and implementation configuration automatically, so no further summarization is needed.
-
If neither works
If
reqstoolCLI is also not found, tell the user:Both the reqstool MCP server and CLI are unavailable.
- To install the CLI:
pipx install reqstool - To configure the MCP server: run
/reqstool:init
- To install the CLI:
Guardrails
- Always run from the project root directory
- Do not modify any files — this is a read-only status command
- Do not summarize or reformat reqstool CLI output — show it as-is
