paper-trail-status is a command for Claude Code from roomi-fields/paper-trail. It costs 21 tokens per session (363 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only status command that counts references in each workflow state. The states show whether sources are active, waiting, blocked for a human decision, or finished.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor the reference pipeline and identify sources waiting for work or a curator’s decision.
Why use it?
It gives a quick view of what still needs processing without changing the registry.

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

paper-trail-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 9d 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

/paper-trail:status — Registry status

Read-only snapshot of the registry. Counts refs per FSM state and categorizes them (active / waiting / blocked_human / terminal).

Usage

No arguments.

What it does

Delegates to the worker B :

python -m pipeline status

Output

# Registry status — 909 refs

Récap : active=240  waiting=13  blocked_human=0  terminal=656

Categories

  • active : refs the worker should process (candidate, uid_resolved, pdf_acquired, needs_reacquisition, page1_validated)
  • waiting : awaiting_rtfm_ocr (worker idle, RTFM is OCRing)
  • blocked_human : blocked_human:* (curator decision needed)
  • terminal : sota_cited_confirmed, retracted (worker never touches these)

When to use

  • Beginning of session : overview of registry state
  • After a batch run : verify state distribution shifted as expected
  • Before deciding what to invoke (cascade, doctor, audit-sota)
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.
