A command that summarizes a Git repository’s current branch, file changes, recent commits, and connection to its remote repository.

Use it to inspect staged, unstaged, and untracked files, compare changes with main, and review recent activity.

It gives a single readable status report instead of requiring several Git commands and manual interpretation.

git-status — Command for Claude Code by javiermrcom

Install

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/javiermrcom/awesome-claude-code

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install git-guardian, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 4 commands, 1 agent.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00008	$0.00474
Opus 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00190
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00095
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00047

Security

Grade A, and why

git-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 1mo 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

Git Status

Analyze the current state of the git repository and provide a structured, actionable summary.

Commands to Execute

Current Status: !/usr/bin/git status
Current branch: !/usr/bin/git branch --show-current
Current diff: !/usr/bin/git diff HEAD origin/main
Recent commits: !/usr/bin/git log --oneline -5 --pretty=format:"%h - %s"
Upstream status: !/usr/bin/git status -sb

Files to Read

@README.md

Task

Based on the git commands output above, provide a structured summary in the following format:

📊 Repository Status

Branch: {current_branch}
Status: {clean/uncommitted changes/untracked files/conflicts}
Upstream: {ahead X commits/behind Y commits/in sync/not tracking remote}

📝 Recent Activity

{List last 5 commits with commit hash and message} {Highlight any Linear issue references (IA-XXX) or Sentry references if present}

🔄 Pending Changes

Staged: {count} files {list if < 5 files}
Unstaged: {count} files {list if < 5 files}
Untracked: {count} files {list if < 3 files}

📋 Summary of Changes

{Brief description of what's being worked on based on file changes and commit messages} {Identify the main area: feature, fix, refactor, docs, etc.}

⚠️ Recommendations

{Suggest next actions based on current state:}

If uncommitted changes: "Run /commit to create a logical commit"
If ahead of origin: "Consider creating a PR with /pr"
If clean state: "Ready to start new work or switch branches"
If behind origin: "Pull latest changes before continuing"
If untracked files: "Review and stage relevant files"

🔗 Related Context

{If Linear issues or Sentry errors detected in commits/branch, mention them}

Make the summary concise, actionable, and easy to scan.

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.
