+# Story 284: Matrix bot status command shows pipeline and agent availability
+
+## User Story
+
+As a user in a Matrix room, I want to type "{bot_name} status" and get a formatted summary of the full pipeline (upcoming through done) with agent assignments, plus which agents are currently free, so that I can check project status without leaving chat.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Chat command "{bot_name} status" triggers a pipeline status display (bot name comes from display_name in bot.toml)
+- [ ] Output shows all stages: upcoming, current, qa, merge, done — with story names and IDs
+- [ ] Each active story shows its assigned agent name and model
+- [ ] Output includes a section showing which agents are free (not currently assigned to any story)
+- [ ] Response is formatted for readability in Matrix (monospace or markdown as appropriate)
+- [ ] Command is handled at the bot level — does not require a full Claude invocation
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
