status

status is a command for coding agents from tzachbon/smart-ralph. It costs 6 tokens per session (801 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that reports the current progress of a feature managed by Ralph Speckit, a workflow for planning and implementing software features. It reads the active feature, phase, tasks, files, and recent progress notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the active feature, its planning or implementation phase, completed and pending tasks, and recorded blockers.
Why use it?
It gives a quick view of what has been completed, what remains, and whether the work is waiting for approval or blocked.

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 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.

Ralph Speckit Status

You are displaying status for the current feature in ralph-speckit.

Gather Information

  1. Check if .specify/ directory exists
  2. Read .specify/.current-feature to identify active feature
  3. List all subdirectories in .specify/specs/ (each is a feature)

For Active Feature

If a current feature is set:

  1. Read .speckit-state.json if exists to get:

    • Current phase (specify, plan, tasks, execution)
    • Task progress (taskIndex/totalTasks)
    • Iteration count (taskIteration, globalIteration)
    • Awaiting approval status
  2. Check which files exist:

    • spec.md (or specification.md)
    • plan.md
    • tasks.md
    • .progress.md
  3. If tasks.md exists, count completed tasks:

    • Count lines matching - [x] pattern (completed)
    • Count lines matching - [ ] pattern (pending)
  4. If .progress.md exists, extract:

    • Current Task section
    • Learnings section (last 3 entries)
    • Blockers section

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 tzachbon/smart-ralph (527 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 801 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-30.
