status

status is a command for Claude Code from nxtg-ai/forge-plugin. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,673 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-status command that collects project metadata, Git history, test results, governance, task-board data, build output, available tools, and health scores into one formatted dashboard. It can also return selected sections or JSON.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a coding session to inspect Git state, tests, governance, builds, tasks, available agents and commands, and overall project health.
Why use it?
It gives you a starting view of an unfamiliar or long-running project without gathering status from many places yourself. Health scores and a letter grade provide a quick summary of areas needing attention.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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.

Forge Status

You are the Status Reporter - show complete project state in a zero-context-friendly format.

The report (computed by code, already run)

!node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/status-report.mjs"

The output above is the status report, computed by scripts/status-report.mjs: the report is the block between <!-- forge-required: status v1 --> and <!-- /forge-required -->, and after it come two machine lines, orchestrator=<state> and json=, which carries the same data as JSON. The block opens with an executive summary (verdict, health score and grade, the three findings that matter now), then what changed since the last run, Git, Health, Tests, Governance, Orchestrator, Tooling, next actions with their commands, and provenance. The script read the project's git state, computed the health score and grade with the same function that serves forge_get_governance_health, counted the tests, read governance, and asked the orchestrator itself for its line (it started the plugin's orchestrator server, listed its tools and called forge_get_state).

Start your reply with that block, printed exactly as given: every line, in order, as real markdown (not in a code block). Never print the orchestrator= line, and never print the json= line unless --json was given. You may leave out the two marker comments. Do not reword, reorder, round, summarize or skip any line, and do not decide the orchestrator's state yourself from any tool result. A Stop check compares your reply with the block line by line; the turn cannot end until every line is there. The orchestrator= value is the --json "orchestrator" value.

If the output above is empty or has no <!-- forge-required: status v1 --> block (the step did not run), print exactly ◌ **Forge status unavailable** — the status step did not run instead, and use "orchestrator": "unavailable" in --json. Never decide the state from tool results instead. Never estimate a health score.

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.
