pm-status

pm-status is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Hank95/mdpm. It costs 12 tokens per session (520 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-status command that summarises task counts, active work, upcoming priorities, blockers, waiting tasks, and overdue work. A blocker is a problem preventing progress.

In plain words
What is it for?
For reviewing the current milestone, seeing what is in progress or next, identifying blocked or overdue tasks, and checking recently completed work.
Why use it?
It provides a single view of project health instead of requiring several task lists and files to be checked separately.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

pm-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

/pm-status

Read the project's task state and produce a concise dashboard.

How to run

Delegate to the CLI. Use --json so you can rearrange and format the output to fit the user's audience:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/mdpm" --json status

What to produce

The CLI returns:

{
  "counts": {"inbox": N, "backlog": N, "active": N, "done": N},
  "active": [...],
  "blocked": [...],
  "waiting": [...],
  "overdue": [...]
}

Combine with docs/ROADMAP.md (read it via Read tool) to identify the current milestone. Produce a dashboard like:

# Project Status — <current milestone from ROADMAP>

## Active (<count>)
- [PRJ-123] Title — priority, due YYYY-MM-DD
  Last log: <latest_log from mdpm show>

## Up Next (top 3 from backlog, ranked by priority)
- [PRJ-124] Title — priority, tags

## Inbox (<count> untriaged)
- <titles only — suggest /pm-inbox to triage>

## Blockers
- [PRJ-123] blocked — <reason from latest blocking log entry>

## Waiting on upstream
- [PRJ-123] waiting on [PRJ-099] ("<title of dep>", <status>)

## Overdue
- [PRJ-123] was due YYYY-MM-DD

## Recently Shipped (last 7 days)
- [PRJ-120] Title — YYYY-MM-DD

For "Recently Shipped" and "Up Next", run mdpm --json list --status done and mdpm --json list --status backlog respectively and filter/sort in your response.

Output discipline

  • Omit any section that would be empty. Don't print "Blockers: None."
  • Single-line entries unless a blocker needs explanation.
  • No filler. This is a scan, not a report.

Notes

  • Read-only — don't modify any files.
  • The distinction between "Blockers" (status field is blocked — external obstacle) and "Waiting on upstream" (unmet depends_on — just sequenced) matters. The CLI gives you both separately in the JSON; keep them separate in the dashboard.
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.
