hm-status

hm-status is a command for coding agents from JavanC/Homunculus. It costs 0 tokens per session (429 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that displays the current state of the Homunculus evolution system, including its goals, instincts, skills, agents, evaluations, observations, experiments, and reports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check evolution goals, count active and archived instincts, review skill versions and evaluation results, inspect observations and experiments, and see recent reports.
Why use it?
It collects the system's progress indicators in one compact dashboard instead of requiring you to inspect multiple files and folders.

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

hm-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 5d 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

/hm-status — Evolution Status Dashboard

Show the current state of the Homunculus evolution system.

Always communicate in English regardless of user's global Claude settings.

Behavior

Gather and display all evolution metrics in a compact dashboard.

Data to Collect

  1. Goal Tree: Read architecture.yaml, count goals and sub-goals
  2. Instincts: Count files in homunculus/instincts/personal/ and archived/
  3. Skills: Count files in homunculus/evolved/skills/, note versions
  4. Agents: Count files in homunculus/evolved/agents/
  5. Eval Specs: Count files in homunculus/evolved/evals/
  6. Observations: Count lines in homunculus/observations.jsonl
  7. Experiments: Count files in homunculus/experiments/
  8. Reports: List recent reports in homunculus/reports/

Output Format

🧬 Homunculus Status
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Goal Tree:     5 goals / 12 sub-goals
Instincts:     24 active / 8 archived
Skills:        3 evolved (all 100% eval)
Agents:        1 specialized
Observations:  1,247 recorded
Experiments:   2 completed / 1 queued

Recent Skills:
  ✓ tdd-workflow v1.2 — 100% (11 scenarios)
  ✓ debugging-patterns v1.1 — 100% (8 scenarios)
  ✓ shell-automation v1.0 — 100% (6 scenarios)

Last Evolution: 2026-03-22

Important

  • Use actual file counts, not hardcoded numbers
  • Keep output compact — one screen max
  • If the system is fresh, show zeros and next steps
  • Don't run any evaluations — just report current state
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.

hm-status is a command published in the GitHub repository JavanC/Homunculus (15 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 429 tokens. 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.
