# Instinct Status Command

Shows learned instincts for the current project plus global instincts, grouped by domain.

## Implementation

Run the instinct CLI, resolving the active ECC plugin root the same way
`hooks/hooks.json` and the other slash commands (`/sessions`, `/skill-health`)
do — env var → standard install → known plugin roots → plugin cache → fallback.
This avoids the divergence that happens when `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` is unset
while a legacy `~/.claude/skills/continuous-learning-v2/` directory still
exists (#2037).

```bash
ECC_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(node -e "var r=(()=>{var e=process.env.CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT;if(e&&e.trim())return e.trim();var p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),h=require('os').homedir(),d=p.join(h,'.claude'),q=p.join('scripts','lib','utils.js');if(f.existsSync(p.join(d,q)))return d;for(var s of [['ecc'],['ecc@ecc'],['marketplaces','ecc'],['everything-claude-code'],['everything-claude-code@everything-claude-code'],['marketplaces','everything-claude-code']]){var l=p.join(d,'plugins',...s);if(f.existsSync(p.join(l,q)))return l}try{for(var g of ['ecc','everything-claude-code']){var b=p.join(d,'plugins','cache',g);for(var o of f.readdirSync(b,{withFileTypes:true})){if(!o.isDirectory())continue;for(var v of f.readdirSync(p.join(b,o.name),{withFileTypes:true})){if(!v.isDirectory())continue;var c=p.join(b,o.name,v.name);if(f.existsSync(p.join(c,q)))return c}}}}catch(x){}return d})();console.log(r)")}"
python3 "$ECC_ROOT/skills/continuous-learning-v2/scripts/instinct-cli.py" status
```

## Usage

```
/instinct-status
```

## What to Do

1. Detect current project context (git remote/path hash)
2. Read project instincts from `~/.claude/homunculus/projects/<project-id>/instincts/`
3. Read global instincts from `~/.claude/homunculus/instincts/`
4. Merge with precedence rules (project overrides global when IDs collide)
5. Display grouped by domain with confidence bars and observation stats

## Output Format
