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.

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 | $0.00025 | $0.00478 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00239 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00096 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
work-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 7d 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
the-loop: work-status $ARGUMENTS
Report where a work item stands. Read-only — this command inspects and summarizes; it does not change anything.
Read the the-loop skill and reference/workflow.md for the phase model.
Steps
-
Locate the spec. Resolve
$ARGUMENTStodocs/specs/<id>/. If nothing is found, check for adraft-*folder (pre-ticket) and say so. -
Read the artifacts (whichever exist):
requirements.md/bugfix.md,design.md,tasks.md,execution-log.md. Also read the ticket's current phase label if the ticketing integration is available.requirements.mdandbugfix.mdare two accepted names for the same phase-1 artifact — if both are on disk, say so: therequirements-definitiongate blocks on it (decision-045). -
Summarize:
- Phase — from the execution log's front-matter and the ticket label (flag any mismatch).
- Spec status — which of requirements/design/tasks exist and their
status(draft / approved) and approvers. - Task progress — count of
- [x]vs- [ ]intasks.md(the-loop keeps these current as tasks complete), and which tasks are outstanding. - Latest activity — the most recent execution-log entries and any pending review/human action.
- Next step — the command to move forward (
create-design/create-tasks-plan/execute-tasks/finish-tasks).
-
Present it as a concise, prioritized summary (mermaid where a diagram helps —
config.userInteraction). Do not modify any file or ticket.
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.

work-status is a command published in the GitHub repository MadaraUchiha-314/the-loop (4 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 478 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 2026-08-31.
