status

status is a skill for Claude Code from karanb192/claude-code-hooks. It costs 23 tokens per session (205 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A session-status command that reports the state and cost of the prompt cache. A prompt cache stores reusable conversation input so later requests can avoid sending all of it again.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking cache warmth, the next rewrite cost, and cache reads and writes in the current session.
Why use it?
It shows whether the cache is still usable and what a cold restart or rewrite may cost.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter.

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 B, and why

status scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

Keep it short; do not re-run any commands.

What it actually says

Prompt-cache status

!node "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../cache-tax.js" --render 2>/dev/null || node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/cache-tax.js" --render

The card above is this session's prompt-cache state from its own transcript: which cache tier the main conversation is on, whether the cache is warm or has lapsed, how many tokens the next message re-writes if it is cold and what that costs at list price, and the session's cache writes, reads and full re-writes so far.

State what the next message will cost in one sentence. If the cache is cold and the context is large, say whether /clear plus a short handoff note is the cheaper move. Keep it short; do not re-run any commands.

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.

status is a skill published in the GitHub repository karanb192/claude-code-hooks (547 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 205 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-07.
