pp-status

A compact project-status command that reads the project's saved summaries, tasks, change log, and blockers. It can show the whole project or focus on one subproject or aspect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check project progress, see what is currently being worked on, review the next pending tasks, or find blocked work.
Why use it?
It gives a quick view of current work without loading all project files or context. This makes active tasks, upcoming work, recent changes, and blockers easier to find.

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

pp-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 yesterday.

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.

Project Status Summary

Show compact status of the entire project.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

Purpose

Quick overview of project state without loading full context. Shows:

  • Active subproject and its focus
  • All subprojects status
  • In-progress tasks
  • Recent changes
  • Any blockers

Execution Instructions

Step 1: Read Status Files

Read these files:

  • .context/project/INDEX.md (get active subproject + project summary)
  • .context/project/{active}/STATUS.md
  • .context/project/{active}/TODO.md
  • .context/project/{active}/CHANGELOG.md (last 2-3 entries)

Step 2: Parse Optional Query

If query provided, focus on:

  • Specific subproject: /pp-status maya
  • Specific aspect: /pp-status tasks or /pp-status blockers

Step 3: Generate Compact Summary

Output format:

## Project Status: {PROJECT_NAME}

### Active: {subproject}/
**Phase**: {current phase}
**Focus**: {one-line current focus}

### In Progress
{tasks marked [>], one line each with T### ID}

### Pending (Next Up)
{next 3-5 pending tasks}

### Subprojects
| Name | Status | Phase |
|------|--------|-------|
{table from root STATUS.md}

### Blockers
{any blocked items from STATUS.md, or "None"}

### Recent Activity
{last 2-3 changelog entries, date + one-line summary}

---
Last updated: {date from STATUS.md}

Step 4: Subproject-Specific Status

If query specifies a subproject:

## Subproject Status: {name}/

**Phase**: {phase}
**Status**: {status}

### What's Working
{bullet list}

### What's Blocked
{bullet list or "Nothing blocked"}

### Current Focus
{numbered list}

### Tasks
**In Progress**: {count}
**Pending**: {count}
**Completed**: {count}

### Next Actions
{from STATUS.md}

Query Examples

# Full project status
/pp-status

# Specific subproject
/pp-status maya

# Focus on tasks only
/pp-status tasks

# Focus on blockers
/pp-status blockers

Output Notes

  • Keep it COMPACT - fits in one screen
  • Use tables for multiple items
  • One line per item max
  • Show counts, not full lists
  • Highlight blockers prominently
  • This is READ-ONLY (no modifications)

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.
