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 2d 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

specclaw status

First, run specclaw-ensure-init .specclaw — idempotently creates .specclaw/ if it doesn't exist (silent if already initialized; auto-inits using the current directory's basename as the project name).

Show the project dashboard.

  1. Refresh: specclaw-update-status .specclaw
  2. Read .specclaw/STATUS.md and present:
    • Active changes with progress %
    • Pending proposals
    • Recently archived changes
    • Overall project health
    • Unnumbered-folders hint: specclaw-update-status emits one extra line (to stdout, and italicised under the dashboard header) when change folders without a <NNN>- prefix exist — the count plus a pointer to /specclaw:renumber. Show it verbatim alongside the dashboard. It is a hint, not a prompt: do not ask whether to run the backfill, and expect nothing at all when the count is zero.
  3. For a specific change, run specclaw-validate-change .specclaw <change> status to get a per-change snapshot.
  4. If this project has a brownfield workstream (any .specclaw/analysis/, .specclaw/baseline/, or .specclaw/bootstrap/ artifact exists), point the user at /specclaw:bf-status after the dashboard. This dashboard covers the propose → plan → build → verify lifecycle only and says nothing about the bf-* phases; a rebuild's real state lives there.
  5. Update check: run specclaw-check-update .specclaw. If it prints a line (a newer plugin version is published), show that line verbatim after the dashboard; if it prints nothing, say nothing. The script is fail-silent and gated by plugin.update_check in config.yaml — never treat its absence of output as an error.
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.
