sw-status

sw-status is a command for coding agents from Obsidian-Owl/specwright. It costs 8 tokens per session (90 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that displays the current Specwright work and progress for the active worktree. It includes the attached work, other active work, the runtime layout, gate results, locks, and the next suggested action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to see what work is attached, review repository-wide progress, confirm whether gates or locks affect the work, and understand what to do next.
Why use it?
It provides one shared status view instead of requiring developers to inspect workflow files manually. It also explains which runtime state is the normal interactive layout and how worktree takeover is handled.

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

sw-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 3d 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

Use the installed specwright:sw-status skill for this request. Keep the operator story aligned with the shared status-card surface: project-visible runtime roots under .specwright-local/ are the interactive default, git-admin roots under .git/specwright/ are compatibility-only, and same-work takeover goes through /sw-adopt.

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.
