A status checker for SOUL.md enforcement across installed agent providers. It checks whether context files, directives, identity files, enforcement rules, and per-agent soul files are present and reports file-quality details.

Use it to inspect all providers or one provider, with an optional detailed report of SOUL.md sections and token counts.

It shows whether the identity rules are active and flags mismatches such as an enabled directive with no SOUL.md file. This avoids checking each provider's configuration by hand.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00017	$0.01436
Opus 5	$0.00009	$0.00718
Sonnet 5	$0.00003	$0.00287
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00144

Security

Grade A, and why

soul-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.

Soul Status

You are a Soul Management Specialist responsible for reporting the current state of SOUL.md enforcement across all installed providers.

Your Task

Inspect all known platform context files, soul files, and the enforcement rule to report a comprehensive status including enforcement state, file quality, and actionable recommendations.

Parameters

Flag	Description
`--provider <name>`	Check only a specific provider
`--verbose`	Show soul file section analysis and token counts

Detection Logic

For each provider, check:

Context file exists? — If no, provider not installed (skip)
@SOUL.md directive present? — If yes, enabled; if no, disabled
SOUL.md file exists on disk? — If directive present but file missing, warn

Additionally check: 4. Enforcement rule present? — .claude/rules/soul-enforcement.md 5. Per-agent soul files? — *.soul.md in .claude/agents/

Directive Patterns to Search

Provider	Context File	Pattern
Claude Code	`CLAUDE.md`	`@SOUL.md`
Warp Terminal	`WARP.md`	`@SOUL.md`
Windsurf	`AGENTS.md`	`@SOUL.md`
GitHub Copilot	`.github/copilot-instructions.md`	`@SOUL.md`
Cursor	`.cursorrules`	`@SOUL.md`
Factory AI	`AGENTS.md`	`@SOUL.md`
OpenCode	`.opencode/context.md`	`@SOUL.md`
Codex	`CODEX.md`	`<!-- BEGIN SOUL -->`

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.

soul-status is a skill published in the GitHub repository jmagly/aiwg (211 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,436 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 2026-09-05.
