co-math-status
Render a compact, human-readable status view of the current AI co-mathematician project.
When to invoke
/co-math-status- "show project status"
- "what's the state of this project"
- "what's blocked"
- "which workstreams are running"
What it does
Runs python3 ~/.claude/co-math/tools/render_status.py from the current directory. The script walks up from the cwd to find a co-math-config.json; if there is no co-math project in the ancestry, it prints "not inside a co-math project" and exits cleanly.
When inside a project, the output looks like:
Project: ambidextrous-sofa Created: 2026-05-10 | Strict mode: ON | Paper format: latex Research question: Prove an upper bound on the ambidextrous sofa problem area.

Output
Output is printed directly. The script does not modify any files. After printing, briefly summarise the most important item for the user — typically "X workstreams running, Y blocked" — rather than re-explaining what the user just saw.
When to do more than render
If the user follows up with "open the blocked workstream" or "show me W003's log", read the relevant file with the Read tool and surface the contents.
