A project-status command that gives a short briefing on the current stage, recent changes, unfinished work, and next actions. It reads project notes and recent Git information, where Git records code changes and their history.

Use it at the start of a coding session to understand where a project stands and what to do next.

It gathers status details that would otherwise require checking several files and commands manually. It also points out selected risks such as failing checks or large uncommitted changes.

Install

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.

agentmods

npx agentmods add commands/rana/skills/status

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/rana/skills

Or install y, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 64 skills, 14 commands, 8 agents.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00000	$0.00347
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00173
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00069
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00035

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.

What it actually says

Session orientation. Quick briefing on project state, recent changes, and next actions.

Read these in parallel:

ROADMAP.md — find the section marked Current
CONTEXT.md — find "Current State" and "Open Questions" (Tier 2 only)
Run git log --oneline -8 for recent commits
Run git status (never -uall) for working directory state
Run git diff --stat HEAD~3..HEAD for recent change scope

Output

Deliver a dense briefing. No narrative filler.

Where We Are

Current stage name and one-sentence goal
Deliverables: N/M complete (list remaining by number — e.g., STG-006-1, STG-006-4, STG-006-9)

What Changed Recently

Last 3–5 commits (one line each, emphasize what shipped)
Uncommitted changes (if any — file count and nature)

What's Next

Next 1–2 unstarted deliverables from current stage (number + name)
Any Tier 2 open questions that could block near-term work

Active Concerns

Only if something looks off: failing CI, large uncommitted diffs, stale branches, schema drift

Keep the entire briefing under 200 words. If the project has no ROADMAP.md, fall back to README.md and recent git history.

$ARGUMENTS

If an argument is provided, focus the briefing on that area (e.g., "search", "ingestion", "frontend") — filter deliverables and recent commits to that domain.

Changes

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 rana/skills (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 347 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 2026-08-31.
