status

A command that shows the progress of stories in a PRD, where each story is a defined piece of project work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read the project's PRD and progress records, display each story's state, and review overall execution status.
Why use it?
It provides one view of completed and unfinished work, batch progress, completion percentage, and recent activity instead of requiring manual file checking.

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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to hybrid-status — 16 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hybrid Ralph - Show Execution Status

You are displaying the current execution status of all stories in the PRD.

Path Storage Modes

This command works with both new and legacy path storage modes:

New Mode (Default)

  • PRD file: In worktree or ~/.plan-cascade/<project-id>/prd.json
  • Progress file: Always in working directory progress.txt
  • Agent outputs: .agent-outputs/ in working directory

Legacy Mode

  • PRD file: In worktree or project root prd.json
  • Progress file: progress.txt in working directory

User-visible files always remain in the working directory for easy access.

Tool Usage Policy (CRITICAL)

To avoid command confirmation prompts:

  1. Use Read tool for file reading - NEVER use cat via Bash

    • Read("prd.json"), Read("progress.txt")
  2. Use Grep tool for content search - NEVER use grep via Bash

    • Grep("[COMPLETE]", path="progress.txt")
  3. Parse file contents in your response - After reading with Read tool, count markers yourself

Step 1: Verify PRD Exists

if [ ! -f "prd.json" ]; then
    echo "ERROR: No PRD found."
    exit 1
fi

Step 2: Read PRD and Progress Files

Read prd.json to get all stories. Read progress.txt to get completion status.

Step 3: Calculate Story Status

For each story in the PRD, determine its status:

  • Complete: If progress.txt contains [COMPLETE] {story_id} or [STORY_COMPLETE] {story_id}
  • In Progress: If progress.txt contains [IN_PROGRESS] {story_id}
  • Pending: If no entry in progress.txt
  • Failed: If progress.txt contains [FAILED] {story_id} or [STORY_FAILED] {story_id} or [ERROR] {story_id}

Step 4: Calculate Execution Batches

Re-calculate batches based on story dependencies.

Step 5: Display Status Report

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 Taoidle/plan-cascade (131 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 915 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to hybrid-status, differing in 16 lines, and is treated as a copy.
