session-status

session-status is a skill for Claude Code from dryvist/claude-code-plugins. It costs 62 tokens per session (2,772 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only skill that reports the current session and repository status. It checks plans, unfinished work, issues, and repository state without cleaning up files or branches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a full end-of-session handoff report or a quick mid-session progress check.
Why use it?
It shows what is finished and what remains when work is paused or a handoff is needed. Its checks are refreshed each time because repository state can change.

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 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 11d 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.

Session and Repository Status Analysis

This skill provides a read-only snapshot of the current session's progress, remaining work, encountered issues, and repository state. It does not perform any repository cleanup (like deleting branches or worktrees) or wrap up the session.

State warning: Branch state, remote tracking, TaskList contents, and plan checklist state all change between invocations. Re-run every git/gh command and re-call TaskList from Step 1; never trust prior outputs from this conversation.

Two modes

Invocation Mode Use
/session-status (default) Full — Steps 1–5, the dashboard + next-session prompt end of session, wrap-up, deciding what to hand off
/session-status mid Mid-session — the quick check below mid-flight "where am I: what's done, what's left"

Both modes re-derive live state; neither performs cleanup. Mid-session mode is a fast orientation snapshot — it skips the conversation-history scan (Step 2), the triage (Step 4), and the next-session prompt (Step 5). Reach for it when you just want to see progress, not plan a handoff.

Mid-session mode

Do only this, then stop:

  1. Resolve the plan file (Step 1a) and read its open checklist items with line numbers. Call TaskList.

  2. If — and only if — the cwd is a repository, run git status -sb and note branch and ahead/behind:

    git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1
    

    When that fails, omit the Branch: line entirely. Do not print an error and do not print a placeholder.

  3. Count done vs remaining across both the plan checklist and TaskList.

  4. Print the compact snapshot — plain language, no dashboard:

Mid-session: <n> done / <m> left
  Just finished:  <most recent completed item, in human terms>
  Now / next:     <the in_progress item, or the next open one>
  Still open:     <short list of remaining items, plan line #s or task IDs>
  Branch:         <name> (<ahead/behind/clean>)     ← omit if not a repository

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.
