tree-ring-status

tree-ring-status is a command for coding agents from TerminallyLazy/tree-ring-memory-claude-plugin. It costs 12 tokens per session (282 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of tree-ring-status, MIT.

A command for checking whether the project’s Tree Ring Memory setup is ready, configured, and genuinely active.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps check the Tree Ring version, inspect integration status, and report the exact state and next required action.
Why use it?
It distinguishes actual working memory integration from merely installed files, configuration markers, or an incomplete setup.

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

tree-ring-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 4d 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

100% identical to tree-ring-status — 0 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.

What it actually says

Tree Ring Status

Read project-local .tree-ring/SKILL.md and .tree-ring/CLI.md when present, then follow the skill's Runtime Bootstrap And Updates procedure and confirm the selected project-local or global runtime is Tree Ring Memory 0.15.0 or newer:

tree-ring --version

Bootstrap or upgrade when the user's request already authorizes it; otherwise obtain permission before downloading or changing software. Never invent a status.

Inspect receipt-backed readiness without changing it:

tree-ring integrations status --json --verbose

Report the exact harness state, capability, and next_step. A bridge, marker, generated skill, passive binding, or successful init is not activation proof. Only a fresh matching receipt from a new session's scoped recall and safe context injection can produce active.

Treat configured-awaiting-proof, active-isolated, needs-trust, needs-project-mount, needs-plugin, needs-user-review, unsupported, and failed as non-active outcomes. Do not modify global trust, manufacture a receipt, hand-author an Agent Zero capability descriptor, or replace a contested bridge while checking 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.
