status

A command that shows the current stage and saved files in a NanoResearch workspace. NanoResearch is a research workflow that moves through stages such as planning, coding, analysis, and writing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking a research session’s topic, current stage, schema version, and recorded artifacts such as data, results, figures, or drafts.
Why use it?
It lets you check research progress from the workspace manifest without inspecting each stage manually. It also handles older and newer manifest formats.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 544 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 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

Status — Check Research Pipeline Status

Show the current status of a NanoResearch workspace.

Instructions

  1. Find the most recent workspace under ~/.nanoresearch/workspace/research/. If $ARGUMENTS is provided, treat it as a workspace path.

  2. Read manifest.json from the workspace directory.

  3. Normalize the schema before display (manifests come in two variants):

    • Old schema (schema_version: "1.1"): stage keys are UPPERCASE (IDEATION, PLANNING...), current_stage is UPPERCASE (DONE, FAILED...), may have extra stages (INIT, FORMAT_FIX), artifacts are [{name, path, stage, checksum}]
    • New schema: stage keys are lowercase, artifacts are ["path"]
    • Always display in lowercase. Convert stage keys and current_stage to lowercase.
    • The canonical stage order is: ideation, planning, setup, coding, execution, analysis, figure_gen, writing, review. Skip any stages not in this list (e.g., INIT, FORMAT_FIX).
    • For artifacts: if an entry is an object, use its path field; if a string, use it directly.
  4. Display a summary table:

    • Session ID
    • Topic
    • Schema version (old v1.1 / new)
    • Current stage
    • For each canonical stage: status (pending/running/completed/failed), timestamps
    • List of produced artifacts with file paths
  5. If no workspace exists, say so and suggest running /project:research "topic" to start.

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.

status is a command published in the GitHub repository OpenRaiser/NanoResearch (1,361 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 544 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.
