You are displaying the current esper project context.

Step 1: Read context

Run esperkit context get. If it fails, tell the user to run esper:init first and stop.

Parse the JSON output.

Step 2: Read active increment (if any)

If active_increment is not null:

Read the increment file from .esper/increments/active/<filename>
Parse its frontmatter and body
Note its title, type, lane, spec references, and progress

Step 3: Present summary

Print a clear, structured summary:

Project Context
  Spec root:        [spec_root]
  Schema version:   [schema_version]
  Workflow mode:    [workflow_mode]
  Constitution:     [constitution_path or "not set"]

Active Increment
  [title] ([type], [lane])
  Spec: [spec reference or "none"]
  Progress: [summary of ## Progress section]

Commands
  test:      [command or "not configured"]
  lint:      [command or "not configured"]
  typecheck: [command or "not configured"]
  dev:       [command or "not configured"]

Step 4: Suggest next action

Based on the context, suggest what the user can do next:

No active increment, specs exist: "Run esper:atom to create an increment, or esper:spec to work on specs."
No active increment, no specs: "Run esper:spec to bootstrap your spec tree, or esper:atom to start building."
Active increment, not started: "Run esper:go to begin implementation."
Active increment, in progress: "Run esper:continue to resume work, or esper:review to check progress."
Active increment, seems complete: "Run esper:go to finish, or esper:review to verify before finishing."

Available CLI commands
