status

status is a skill for Claude Code from jjanczur/tyran. It costs 58 tokens per session (487 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only progress report for Tyran, a task-management system that records work in a journal and displays it on a board.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking progress, open task gates, running agents, recent changes, and the steps needed to resume work.
Why use it?
It shows the current state from recorded project data instead of relying on memory, including unfinished work, waiting tasks, and active agents.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 7d 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

Status

Answer from the journal, never from memory.

J=$(ls -t .tyran/state/*/journal.jsonl 2>/dev/null | head -1)
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/project.mjs" "$J" --out-dir "$(dirname "$J")"
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/board.mjs" --dir .tyran
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/journal.mjs" tail "$J"
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/journal.mjs" open-spawns "$J"

Then report, in this order and no longer than a screen:

  1. If .tyran/state/paused-until.json exists, the pause comes FIRST: which window, when it resumes, and node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/overnight.mjs" status output. Everything below it is context for a session that is deliberately not working.
  2. The progress line: PROGRESS: NN% · X/Y tickets · phase: <name> · last merge: <sha>.
  3. Agents with no report yet — the ones from open-spawns. Say how long each has been open. An agent that has been running for an hour is the most useful thing on this screen and the easiest to overlook.
  4. Open gates, and who is waiting on whom.
  5. Any lease released by someone who did not hold it. The projection surfaces these; they mean two agents believed they owned the same worktree.
  6. The resume steps from the last checkpoint.

End by pointing the operator at .tyran/state/board.html — the kanban view of everything above, refreshed on every subagent stop and every merge.

If there is no journal, say exactly that and suggest /tyran:setup. Do not reconstruct a status from the git log — a plausible status is worse than none, because it will be believed.

Change nothing. This command reads.

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.
