status

status is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from blake-simpson/belmont. It costs 11 tokens per session (2,141 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A status-reporting guide for Belmont tasks and milestones. Belmont is the project workflow whose plans, requirements, features, and progress it reads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing features, reviewing PRD and progress files, checking milestone task counts, and reporting the state of active Belmont work.
Why use it?
It gives a current view of what is planned, active, completed, or archived without manually checking each project file.

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 5d 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 — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Belmont: Status

Read the current project state and produce a formatted status report.

Fast Path (Preferred)

If available, use the global CLI first:

belmont status --color=always

(--color=always forces ANSI colors on the status markers even though stdout is piped by the calling AI tool — the markers render in colour in the tool's output block, making the list easier to scan.)

If the command fails, fall back to the manual steps below.

Modes

Feature Listing Mode (default)

When no specific feature is requested:

  1. Read .belmont/PR_FAQ.md — check if it exists and has content
  2. Read .belmont/PRD.md — the master PRD (feature catalog)
  3. Scan .belmont/features/ for subdirectories
  4. For each feature directory, read its PRD.md for the feature name and PROGRESS.md for task counts
  5. Archived features — a feature directory that contains ARCHIVE.md (placed there by /belmont:cleanup) has no PROGRESS.md. Omit archived features entirely from the default listing. Only when the user explicitly asks for them, append a compact Archived (N): block (slug — name per line) below the active features.
  6. Produce a feature listing report (see format below)

If no features exist yet, tell the user to run /belmont:product-plan to create their first feature.

If the user ran the CLI fast path above, the --show-archived flag controls this same behaviour (default: hidden entirely; with flag: compact list).

Single Feature Mode

If a specific feature is requested (user says "show status for auth" or similar):

  1. Set base path to .belmont/features/<slug>/
  2. Read {base}/PROGRESS.md — every task state, milestone and count in the report comes from here.
  3. Read {base}/PRD.md only for the feature's name and one-line description. If the report does not need more than that, read the header rather than the whole file.
  4. For {base}/TECH_PLAN.md, {base}/NOTES.md and .belmont/NOTES.md, the report states only whether they exist and are non-empty — check existence, do not read their contents.
  5. Produce the standard status report (see format below)

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.
