status

status is a command for coding agents from handarbeit/fabrik. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,956 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that reports the current state of a Fabrik project, including its work board, active workers, and Git worktrees with unsaved changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check project settings, see which workers are running, and find worktrees that contain uncommitted code.
Why use it?
It gives you one summary of what the automated project pipeline is doing, so you do not have to inspect several places or processes yourself.

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/handarbeit/fabrik/status
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/handarbeit/fabrik

Or install fabrik, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 2 skills, 1 command.

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

status 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Check the current state of the Fabrik project. Run these probes (in parallel where possible), then summarise.

1. Read the project config

Use the Read tool on .fabrik/config.yaml to extract:

  • owner (GitHub org or user)
  • project (project number, integer)
  • owner_type if present (organization or user — defaults to organization when omitted)

You'll inline these values into the GraphQL query in step 3. Don't try to set shell variables from config.yaml in a heredoc — just substitute the values directly into the gh api graphql invocation.

2. Find running workers

Fabrik spawns every worker with --plugin-dir <abs-path-to-.fabrik/plugin> (runClaude appends this flag on every invocation). This is the only reliable detector.

--output-format stream-json must never be used as a detector, alone or in combination. It's the generic Claude Code headless flag — any headless claude process on the machine matches it, including other plugins' background daemons (e.g. claude-mem), other agent harnesses, or a user's own scripts. None of those processes carry --plugin-dir .fabrik/plugin. Matching on it (even as one arm of an "either/or") reintroduces false positives; don't reintroduce it here even for "redundancy."

Scope the match to this project's absolute plugin-dir path, not just the relative .fabrik/plugin suffix — Fabrik commonly runs as a fleet of concurrent per-repo instances on one host, and a relative match would also count a different repo's Fabrik workers as this project's:

FABRIK_PLUGIN_DIR="$(pwd)/.fabrik/plugin"
ps aux | grep -F -- "--plugin-dir $FABRIK_PLUGIN_DIR " | grep -v grep

Use $(pwd), not realpath/pwd -P — Fabrik itself derives this path from os.Getwd() without resolving symlinks, so a symlink-resolving form could produce a path that no longer textually matches what a running worker actually passed on its command line. Use grep -F (fixed string), not an interpolated regex, so the path's literal characters can't be misread as regex metacharacters. The trailing space in the pattern is required, not cosmetic: without it, a fixed-string match is a prefix match, and one project's plugin-dir path can be a literal prefix of another's (e.g. a dev --plugin-dir override of .fabrik/plugin vs .fabrik/plugin-workflows, both documented in docs/USER_GUIDE.md) — the trailing space anchors on the argument boundary that always follows --plugin-dir <value> in Fabrik's actual argv (--resume, --model, or --max-turns always come next; see buildClaudeArgs in engine/claude.go), so a same-prefix-different-suffix path can no longer false-match.

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.

status is a command published in the GitHub repository handarbeit/fabrik (22 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,956 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
