loop-status

A read-only command that reports the state of a Loopy iteration loop from files in a project. It summarizes progress, unresolved checks, the implementer, and the latest estimated token use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking loop progress, reviewing failed or unfinished criteria, and deciding whether to resume the loop or run verification only.
Why use it?
It lets you see whether an automated coding loop is active, what remains unresolved, and what action should come next without changing project files.

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

loop-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 yesterday.

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

loop-status — read-only summary

If .claude/loop/ does not exist: say so and point to /loopy:loop-init. Otherwise read state.md, rubric.md, loop.config.md, and .claude/loop/.last-usage (if present), then print:

  • loop_active and iteration count (from state.md) vs max_iterations (from loop.config.md)
  • Rubric progress: <passed>/<total> plus the list of unresolved criteria
  • Attempted / unresolved summary from state.md (including any consecutive-failure counts)
  • Implementer (implementer from loop.config.md), plus any codex-fallback note found in state.md
  • Last run token figure, explicitly labeled as an estimate
  • Suggested next step: resume with /loopy:loop-run, or grade only with /loopy:loop-run --verify-only

Modify nothing. This command is always safe to run, including as the first command of a fresh session resuming a dead loop.

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.

loop-status is a skill published in the GitHub repository hhamja/claude-code-harness (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 245 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
