view

A read-only status command for a Casebook project. It shows which parts of the case study are filled in, which are still placeholders, and which questions are waiting for the owner’s input.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the status of sections such as context, decisions, outcomes, and reflections, see the latest running-log entry, and find open “My take” prompts.
Why use it?
It gives a quick, accurate view of unfinished writing without changing the case study or creating new work.

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

view 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.

What it actually says

Give me a compact read of where .casebook/case-study.md stands — what's filled in, what's still a placeholder, and what's waiting on my voice.

Read-only status pass — never edit the case study from this command.

Step 1: Preflight.

  • If .casebook/case-study.md doesn't exist, suggest running /casebook:init and stop.

Step 2: Read the case study.

  • Read .casebook/case-study.md in full.

Step 3: Report per canonical section — TL;DR, Context, The Problem, Process, Key Decisions, Outcomes, Reflections.

  • For each: has real content, or is it still a placeholder stub (the _(...)_ italic convention from the template)?
  • Running Log: entry count, and the date of the newest entry.
  • The list of OPEN **› My take:** prompts, verbatim, across every section — this is my writing queue. Surface it as an invitation to fill them in, not a nag.
  • A total: sections/prompts filled vs. still open.

Step 4: Offer, don't auto-run.

  • Mention /casebook:export for a dated PDF (or HTML, if no browser is installed) snapshot of the case study, ready to share. (Equivalent to running "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/tracker" export --pdf --open directly.)

Output as a compact status report with simple section headings, not prose.

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.

view is a command published in the GitHub repository vldesigns/casebook (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 339 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
