stats

stats is a command for coding agents from gastownhall/beads. It costs 5 tokens per session (137 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that summarizes project issue statistics and progress, including counts by status, priority, and type, completion rate, and recently updated issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Review project metrics, identify blocked or unstarted work, and decide whether to investigate blockers, find ready tasks, or reprioritize open issues.
Why use it?
It gives you a quick view of project workload and progress without inspecting every issue individually.

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add commands/gastownhall/beads/stats
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/gastownhall/beads

Or install beads, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 29 commands, 1 agent, 4 hooks.

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

stats 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 4d 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

Display statistics about the current beads project.

Use the beads MCP stats tool to retrieve project metrics and present them clearly:

  • Total issues by status (open, in_progress, blocked, closed)
  • Issues by priority level
  • Issues by type (bug, feature, task, epic, chore)
  • Completion rate
  • Recently updated issues

Optionally suggest actions based on the stats:

  • High number of blocked issues? Run /beads:blocked to investigate
  • No in_progress work? Run /beads:ready to find tasks
  • Many open issues? Consider prioritizing with /beads:update
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.
