work-show

A command that displays detailed information about one tracked work item. It includes status, priority, dependencies, past work sessions, related Git branches and commits, and part of its specification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an item’s history and dependencies, preview its specification, see related Git information, and review suggested next steps.
Why use it?
It gathers the context needed to understand a task before deciding what to do next.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

work-show scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Work Item Show

Display detailed information for a specific work item by running:

sk work-show "$@"

The work item ID is provided in $ARGUMENTS and passed through "$@".

This displays comprehensive details:

  • Work Item Info: Type, status, priority, creation date
  • Dependencies: List of dependencies with their current status
  • Session History: All sessions where this work item was worked on
  • Git Information: Branch name and associated commits
  • Specification Preview: First 30 lines of the spec file
  • Next Steps: Suggested actions based on current status

Show all information to the user in a clear, formatted display. This helps understand the full context of a work item before starting work on it.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
