# AIP Progress Tracker Skill

Assess implementation progress of Airflow Improvement Proposals by comparing
what the Confluence spec promises against what the codebase delivers.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the task involves:

- Tracking AIP implementation status
- Comparing a spec against shipped code
- Producing a cross-AIP progress report

## Available Tools

You have access to these tools for gathering evidence:

- `fetch_confluence_page(page_id)` -- fetch an AIP spec from Confluence
- `search_github_prs(query)` -- search GitHub PRs/commits for an AIP
- `get_repo_file_tree(path_prefix)` -- list files under a directory in the repo

## Evidence Gathering Strategy

For each AIP, gather evidence from **all three sources** before assessing:

1. **Confluence spec** -- call `fetch_confluence_page` with the AIP's page ID.
   Extract: deliverables, phases, completion criteria, and status.
2. **GitHub PRs and commits** -- call `search_github_prs` with both the AIP
   number (e.g. "AIP-76") AND topic keywords (e.g. "asset partition").
   Deduplicate results.
3. **Codebase file tree** -- call `get_repo_file_tree` with the AIP's known
   directory prefixes. Count source files and test files.

## Deliverable Extraction

Extract deliverables from the specification's own structure. Use these
sources in priority order:

1. **Numbered completion criteria** (e.g. "Definition of Done", "Completion
   Criteria") -- each numbered item is one deliverable.
2. **Phase definitions** -- each bullet or item under a phase heading is one
   deliverable.
3. **Explicitly enumerated components** (classes, operators, API endpoints,
   CLI commands, UI features) listed in the spec.
