max-status

A command that shows the current state of an active MAX project, including its stage, progress, generated files, recent activity, and stored test results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review project progress, inspect generated files, check test results, or find and select another project when the active project is missing.
Why use it?
It gives you one place to see how far the project has progressed and whether the selected project still exists.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 12 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 333 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

max-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 3d 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

/max-status

Display the status of the active MAX project, including current stage, progress, generated files, and recent activity.

Behavior

  1. Read active project -- check patches/.active-project.json for the current active project.

  2. If active project exists:

    • Read the project's status.md via read_status(project_dir)
    • Display: project name, current stage, progress percentage, files generated, last activity timestamp
    • List generated files in the project's generated/ directory
    • Show any stored test results
  3. If no active project or desync detected:

    • List all available projects in patches/ via list_projects(base_dir)
    • Show warning if .active-project.json references a project directory that no longer exists (desync)
    • Suggest using /max-switch to select a project or /max-new to create one
  4. Display format:

    Project: {name}
    Stage: {stage} (ideation | discuss | research | build | verify)
    Progress: {percentage}%
    Files: {count} generated
    Last Activity: {timestamp}

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.
