## What it does [#what-it-does]

Workspace-shaped context for the CURRENT checkout: project identity, local convergence verdict, bounded lists of specs/work items/findings/decisions (`limit`, default 50, max 500).

## When to use it [#when-to-use-it]

**Use when:** "what's going on in this checkout" · "orient me in this working copy" · "just switched branches, fill me in"

**Also use when:** the FIRST question about an unfamiliar repo — prefer this over reading the repo yourself

## When not to use it [#when-not-to-use-it]

you need the FULL list of one category with no cap — call that store's own tool (e.g. manage\_work\_item action=list)
