# Dobby Status

Show a quick overview of the Dobby task queue.

## Prerequisites

Verify the Dobby MCP server is connected by checking that `mcp__dobby__dobby_stats` is available. If not, tell the user:

> The Dobby MCP server is not connected. Make sure the Dobby daemon is running and the MCP server is configured in your Claude Code settings.

## Steps

1. Call `mcp__dobby__dobby_stats` to get queue statistics (pending, running, completed, failed counts, total cost).
2. Call `mcp__dobby__dobby_status` to get the list of current tasks (defaults to pending + running).
3. Format the output as a concise status report.

## Output Format

Present the results like this:

```
## Dobby Status

### Queue Stats
- Pending: X | Running: Y | Completed: Z | Failed: W
- Total cost: $X.XX

### Active Tasks
| ID | Project | Status | Description |
|----|---------|--------|-------------|
| t-XXXXXXXX-XXXX | project | running | Short description... |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |

(If no active tasks: "No pending or running tasks.")
```

Keep descriptions truncated to ~60 characters if longer. Show task IDs so users can reference them.
