What is tendem-status?

A command that checks the progress of a Tendem task, a task handled by an external Tendem service, and chooses the next action. It can wait for a status change without repeatedly polling too quickly.

Use it to monitor an in-progress Tendem task, respond when user input or approval is needed, and start result retrieval when the task is ready.

It removes the need to remember how to handle each task state, such as waiting for work, requesting approval, supplying payment, or retrieving a result.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00022	$0.00396
Opus 5	$0.00011	$0.00198
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00079
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00040

Security

Grade A, and why

tendem-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 11d 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

Check the status of a Tendem task and take the next correct step.

If a task_id is given in $ARGUMENTS, use it. Otherwise call list_tasks and either use the obvious in-flight task or ask the user which one.
Call get_task(task_id, wait_for_change_seconds=30) and act on the returned next_action (per the tendem-tasks skill):
- awaiting_tendem_work → it's still working. Report where it stands and do NOT sit re-polling. Offer the user two ways to wait: (a) you spawn the tendem-watcher agent in the background — give it the task_id, a poll interval (default 1 hour), and it reports back the moment the task needs them; or (b) they simply ask again later ("how's the Tendem task doing?" or /tendem-status) — the task lives on Tendem's side, nothing is lost between sessions.
- await_input → read the new chat and answer via send_message (or escalate).
- await_user_approval → call get_contract(task_id) for the full scope + price, surface both; approve only with the user's go-ahead.
- await_user_topup → give the user the topup_url.
- fetch_result → run /tendem-result (or call get_task_result).
- done → nothing left; summarize the outcome.

Summarize where the task stands and what happens next in plain language.

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.
