status

status is a command for coding agents from sashamitrovich/milepost. It costs 11 tokens per session (210 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that displays and updates a short file describing the current state of a project task.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking or refreshing task status in projects that use a Milepost status file.
Why use it?
It keeps the goal, current progress, next step, and unanswered questions in one living snapshot.

Command

Part of the milepost plugin — 3 commands, 3 hooks shipped together

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/sashamitrovich/milepost/status
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/sashamitrovich/milepost

Or install milepost, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 commands, 3 hooks.

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 5d 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

Milepost status

  1. Determine <project-slug> (stated in the milepost SessionStart context; else: git repo root of the cwd — or the cwd itself — lowercased, non-alphanumeric runs → -, trimmed) and locate ~/.claude/memory/milepost/<project-slug>/STATUS.md.
  2. If it exists, read and display its current contents.
  3. Then, reflecting on the current session, update STATUS.md so it accurately captures: the current goal, where things stand right now, the immediate next step, and any open questions. Keep it short and present-tense (a living snapshot, not a history — that's what log.md is for).
  4. If no milepost exists yet for this project, say so and offer to start one with /milepost.

If the user supplied text after the command, treat it as an update to fold into the status.

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.
