+### Built-in Plugins
+
+The package comes with some built-in plugins that you can use right away.
+
+#### CLIReporterPlugin
+
+Provides real-time CLI observability of workflow progress. It hooks into lifecycle events to display task states and a final summary.
+
+```typescript
+import { TaskRunner, CLIReporterPlugin } from "@calmo/task-runner";
+
+const runner = new TaskRunner(context);
+runner.use(new CLIReporterPlugin());
+
+await runner.execute(steps);
+```
+
 ## Skip Propagation
 
 If a task fails or is skipped, the `TaskRunner` automatically marks all subsequent tasks that depend on it as `skipped`. This ensures that your pipeline doesn't attempt to run steps with missing prerequisites.

+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Interactive CLI Progress Reporting
+
+The `CLIReporterPlugin` SHALL provide real-time updates of task states during workflow execution.
+
+#### Scenario: Displaying running tasks
+
+- **WHEN** a task starts execution and triggers `taskStart`
+- **THEN** the CLI reporter SHALL display the task name with a "running" indicator.
+
+#### Scenario: Displaying successful tasks
+
+- **WHEN** a task finishes successfully and triggers `taskEnd` with a `success` status
+- **THEN** the CLI reporter SHALL display the task name with a "success" indicator and execution duration.
+
+#### Scenario: Displaying failed tasks
+
+- **WHEN** a task finishes with an error and triggers `taskEnd` with a `failure` status
+- **THEN** the CLI reporter SHALL display the task name with a "failure" indicator and error details.
+
+#### Scenario: Displaying skipped tasks
+
+- **WHEN** a task is skipped due to unmet dependencies or conditions
+- **THEN** the CLI reporter SHALL display the task name with a "skipped" indicator.
+
+### Requirement: Workflow Execution Summary
+
+The `CLIReporterPlugin` SHALL display a summary table or block upon completion of the entire task graph execution.
+
+#### Scenario: Generating final summary
+
+- **WHEN** all tasks have resolved (either success, failure, or skipped)
+- **THEN** the CLI reporter SHALL output the total execution time, along with counts for successful, failed, and skipped tasks.
