A dashboard and reporting tool for a file-based task queue, showing work waiting, in progress, completed, or blocked.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check queue counts, review recent progress, estimate throughput, and get suggested next actions.
Why use it?
It gives you one place to see project progress, find abandoned tasks, and understand what is preventing work from moving forward.

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 4d 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

Show the current task queue status and provide analysis.

Instructions

  1. Run bash docs/spec/.llm/scripts/status.sh to get the file-based task queue dashboard.
  2. Also use TaskList to show native task status if any native tasks exist.
  3. Read docs/spec/.llm/PROGRESS.md for the latest iteration log entries.
  4. Check for stale tasks: Look at lock files in docs/spec/.llm/tasks/.locks/ -- if any claimed_at timestamp is older than 30 minutes and the agent process is not running, flag it as stale.
  5. Provide a summary including:
    • Queue counts: backlog, in_progress, completed, blocked
    • Stale tasks: Any in_progress tasks with locks older than 30 min (suggest: move back to backlog, delete lock)
    • Blocked tasks: Why they're blocked and suggest unblocking strategies (check if dependencies are now met, if the blocker can be resolved manually)
    • Progress: What's been completed since the last check
    • Throughput: If there are completed tasks with timestamps, estimate tasks-per-hour rate and remaining time
    • Recommendations: Next actions (launch more agents, unblock tasks, etc.)
  6. If there are completed tasks, highlight key learnings from PROGRESS.md.

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.
