session-status.skeleton

session-status.skeleton is a command for Claude Code from varienos/agentic-workflow. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,154 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that reads tracked session files and summarizes what each coding agent is working on, which phase it is in, and what it is waiting for. A session file records an agent's current task and status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect agent tasks, phases such as testing or waiting, dependencies, recent actions, and backlog progress.
Why use it?
It gives a single overview of active work without opening each session file separately, while continuing past missing or malformed files.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code command (commands/*.md). Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node bin/session-monitor.js.

Good fit Use it to inspect agent tasks, phases such as testing or waiting, dependencies, recent actions, and backlog progress.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

session-status.skeleton 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 25d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Session Status — Session and Backlog Status

This command reads session-*.json files under .claude/tracking/sessions/ and summarizes which agent is on which task, in which phase, and what it is waiting on.

If live interactive monitoring is needed:

node bin/session-monitor.js

This TUI opens in the Timeline view by default; press Tab to switch to the Agent Radar view.


Steps

1. Read Session Files

Scan all session-*.json files under .claude/tracking/sessions/.

ls -la .claude/tracking/sessions/session-*.json 2>/dev/null

Evaluation:

  • If the directory is missing: tracker may be inactive or this workspace may not be materialized yet
  • If no files: the hook may be active but no session data has been written yet
  • If broken JSON exists: skip bad files and keep showing the rest

2. Extract Status and Phase Info

For each session, read or derive these fields:

  • current_focus.task_id, title, status, priority
  • phase (planning, implementing, testing, reviewing, waiting, done)
  • waiting_on (none, test, user, review, dependency)
  • last_meaningful_action
  • backlog_sync.acceptance.completed/total

Classify session status by last_activity time:

Range Status Symbol
< 5 minutes active ●
5 — 30 minutes idle ○
> 30 minutes closed ─

3. Show Summary Table

Provide an agent-first summary with one row per agent/session:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 Session Status
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

| Session | Status | Task    | Phase      | Waiting  | Last Action     |
|--------|-------|---------|------------|----------|-----------------|
| 45012  | ●   | TASK-24 | implement  | none     | Edited monitor  |
| 45078  | ○   | TASK-11 | waiting    | test     | npm test fail   |
| 45123  | ─   | —       | planning   | none     | Read backlog    |

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.
