status

A quick status check for Clawness, a project setup that supplies coding rules and makes them available to the agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
For checking loaded rules, available agents, and hook configuration when diagnosing a Clawness setup.
Why use it?
It helps you see whether the expected rules and agents are active without running a full project scan.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Clawness Status

Show the user what's currently active in their Clawness setup.

Running the Clawness CLI. It ships with the plugin but isn't on your PATH. Use the wrapper the SessionStart bootstrap hook writes each session:

CLAW="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/clawness/clawness-cli.sh"
bash "$CLAW" <command>          # e.g. bash "$CLAW" stats

If $CLAW doesn't exist, the bootstrap hasn't run yet — start a fresh session. (Editable/manual installs may instead use python -m clawness.cli ....)

Keep this FAST — it's a quick health check, not a full scan. Step 1 already proves retrieval at zero cost, so a test query is unnecessary.

Steps

  1. Report the rules you already see (no command). You (Claude) receive the Clawness rule block at the top of your context this turn. Summarize it: how many mandatory + relevant rules, and a few rule IDs. If you see it, injection is working — this alone is the health check.

    If you do NOT see an injected block, say so plainly and do not rationalize it. The hook injects the global rules on every prompt in every directory — the working directory (including being in the Clawness source repo) does not disable injection; it only affects the optional .clawness/rules/ project overlay. A missing block means the hook is not running — either not loaded this session (needs a restart / /reload-plugins) or erroring (check /hooks and claude --debug). Never attribute a missing block to the current directory.

  2. Show the corpus + token cost. Run (fast):

    bash "$CLAW" stats
    

    Report total rules, domains, and the Tokens / turn line.

  3. Project rules (only if present). If .clawness/rules/ exists in the project (walk up to the git root), mention it; otherwise skip silently.

Summary — keep it to a few lines:

  • Rule injection: working (you saw the block) / not seeing rules
  • Global rules: N across M domains; ~N tokens/turn (tune with CLAW_TOP_K, CLAW_VERBOSE, CLAW_COMPACT)
  • Project rules: N, or "none — bash \"$CLAW\" init . to add some"

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.

status is a skill published in the GitHub repository fullymiddleaged/Clawness (3 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 616 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
