Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00016 | $0.00599 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00240 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00120 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
devsquad-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 1mo 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.

DevSquad Status Skill
Displays current squad health metrics including token usage, budget zone, delegation compliance, and agent availability.
When to Use
Invoke when the user wants to check:
- Current token budget and zone status (green/yellow/red)
- Live usage percentages from Claude, Gemini, and Codex CLIs
- Delegation compliance statistics
- Squad availability (which agents are installed)
- Capacity-aware delegation recommendations
Capacity-Aware Delegation
Status reads from a local capacity cache (.devsquad/capacity.json) populated by /devsquad:capacity.
Users report their current CLI usage percentages by checking:
- Claude:
/status→ "Current session" percentage - Gemini:
/stats→ "Usage left" (subtract from 100) - Codex:
/status→ "5h limit" and "Weekly limit" (subtract from 100)
The cache expires after 30 minutes, after which status shows a "STALE" warning and recommends re-running /devsquad:capacity.
Zone Thresholds
- 🟢 Green: < 50% usage — normal operation
- 🟡 Yellow: 50-75/80% — enforce delegation
- 🔴 Red: > 75/80% — critical, delegate everything
Usage
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devsquad-status/scripts/show-status.sh"
For machine-readable output:
bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/devsquad-status/scripts/show-status.sh" --json

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

devsquad-status is a skill published in the GitHub repository joshidikshant/devsquad (7 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 599 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
