status

A Git command for showing the state of each submodule, which is a separate repository nested inside a main repository. It counts staged, unstaged, and untracked files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect submodule changes and see how many files are staged, modified but unstaged, or new and untracked.
Why use it?
It gives a repository-wide view of pending work without checking every submodule separately.

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.

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 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.

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

Git Status Command

Show per-submodule status with staged, unstaged, and untracked file counts.

Arguments

Parse the following from $ARGUMENTS:

  • --help or -h - Show usage information and exit

Instructions

Step 1: Parse Arguments

From $ARGUMENTS, extract:

  1. help: if --help or -h is present, show the usage information below and stop. Do NOT delegate to the agent.

Help Output

If --help or -h is present, display this and stop:

Usage: /git-workflow:status [options]

Show per-submodule git status with staged/unstaged/untracked counts.
Only works in superprojects with submodules.

Options:
  -h, --help            Show this help message

Examples:
  /git-workflow:status                              Show all submodule statuses

Step 2: Validate Submodules Exist

git submodule status 2>/dev/null

If output is empty or the command fails, display this error and stop — do NOT delegate:

Error: No submodules found in the current repository.
This command only works in superprojects with submodules.

Step 3: Delegate to Agent

Launch the status-agent agent:

Task tool:
- subagent_type: "status-agent"
- description: "Show submodule status table"
- prompt: |
    Show the git status of all submodules in the superproject.
    - Working directory: <current directory>

Examples

# Show status of all submodules
/git-workflow:status

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 shdennlin/agent-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 402 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
