status

A diagnostic command for the Usage HUD, a Claude Code status display that tracks usage information. It checks configuration, credentials, cached usage values, and available updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the status-line setup, verify the Usage HUD script and OAuth token, review cached five-hour and seven-day usage, and check for updates.
Why use it?
It collects the relevant checks in one compact report, making it easier to find why the display is not working or whether its data is outdated.

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.

Per session 7 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 144 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 B, and why

status scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What it actually says

Usage HUD Status

Instructions

  1. Read ~/.claude/settings.json and check statusLine configuration
  2. Check if usage-hud.mjs exists at the plugin root
  3. Check OAuth token availability
  4. Read .usage-cache.json from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA} and show:
    • Last fetch time
    • Cached 5h/7d utilization values
    • Cache age (fresh/stale)
  5. Read .update-cache.json and show:
    • Current version vs latest version
    • Update available: yes/no
  6. Print a compact diagnostic summary

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 PeterCha90/CAP (10 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 144 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
