status

status is a command for Claude Code from Redtropig/harness-anchor. It costs 36 tokens per session (445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only command that gives a snapshot of a project's current state. It reports the active feature, feature counts, Git changes, documentation index freshness, session handoff, and tool health.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to see what work is active, whether the project index is current, what has changed in Git, and whether the project is ready for a handoff.
Why use it?
It gathers common project checks in one place without changing files. If the main report script fails, it can provide a smaller manual snapshot and identify that limitation.

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 7d 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

Read-only project status overview. The report body is produced by a script — scripts/status-report.sh is the single source of truth for its sections and formatting (all 7: Status header / Active feature / Feature counts / Git working tree / TOC freshness / Session handoff head / Harness health).

Steps

  1. Run the report script:

    bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/status-report.sh --target "$(pwd)"
    
  2. Print its output verbatim. Do not reformat, reorder, or summarize — the sections are the contract (tests pin them).

  3. Append at most ONE suggestion line when the report warrants it:

    • Project not anchored… → suggest /anchor
    • a state-budget entry carries OVER → point at /session-end (archival)
    • TOC freshness is absent or stale → mention /index-project

    One line, only when applicable — the report already carries its facts.

If the script fails

Report the script's error output verbatim first. Because /status is read-only, you MAY then degrade to a minimal manual snapshot (head of feature_list.json, git status --porcelain) — say explicitly that this is the degraded path. This is the only thin-wrapper command with a manual fallback; the others (/anchor, /cpp-init, /session-end) write state and must not be hand-replayed.

Boundary with /session-end

  • /status is read-only. It never writes feature_list.json, progress.md, or session-handoff.md.
  • /session-end writes handoff + progress + offers commit. Use it at the end of a session.
  • Use /status anytime you want a quick "where am I?" snapshot.

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.
