mcp-picnic: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/minispec.status.md

minispec.status is a command for Claude Code from ivo-toby/mcp-picnic. It costs 12 tokens per session (1,628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-status command for the MiniSpec workflow, which keeps feature designs, tasks, decisions, and project rules in shared files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check active features, design and task progress, recent activity, project decisions, and the next action.
Why use it?
It gives a quick view of what is finished, what remains, and what to do next, especially after time away from the project.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

This is ivo-toby/mcp-picnic's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-picnic itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-picnic configures →

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

minispec.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 10d 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.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You are providing a quick status update on where things stand. This is the "dashboard view" of the MiniSpec workflow.

Philosophy

Engineers should be able to:

  • Quickly understand where they are in the process
  • See what's done and what's remaining
  • Know the next action to take
  • Get context after stepping away

Keep it concise but complete.

Execution Flow

Phase 1: Gather State

Read current state from:

  1. Constitution (.minispec.minispec/memory/constitution.md)

    • Project name
    • MiniSpec preferences
  2. Active features (.minispec/specs/*/)

    • Which features are in progress
    • Status of each (designed/planned/implementing/complete)
  3. Current feature details (if one is active)

    • Design status
    • Task progress
    • Recent activity
  4. Knowledge base (.minispec/knowledge/)

    • Number of decisions
    • Last updates

Phase 2: Determine Context

Figure out what to show based on state:

No features yet:

Project is set up but no features started

Feature in design:

Currently designing [feature], not yet planned

Feature planned, not started:

[Feature] is planned with [N] tasks, ready to implement

Feature in progress:

Implementing [feature], [N]/[M] tasks complete

Feature complete:

[Feature] complete, no active work

Phase 3: Display Status

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.
