status

A project diagnostic command that reports the current state of a ticket-flow project and recommends the next action. It checks project files, worktrees, issue counts, and workflow setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect scaffolding, unfinished worktrees, stale branch locks, project memory rules, issue-system status, and the recommended next step.
Why use it?
It gives developers a quick orientation when returning to a project, after context was lost, or before starting the next workflow step.

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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (check-cc-changelog.sh, flow-stats.sh, status.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/ticket-flow:status — Project diagnostic + recommendation

Args: none — operates on the current working directory.

What it does

One-shot orientation: tells you what state this project is in and what to do next. Useful after compaction, when picking up someone else's branch, or before any /ticket-flow:flow to confirm the project is ready.

Companion to (not replacement for) the two diagnostics below it: bd doctor checks beads internals, Claude Code's built-in /doctor checks the harness (hooks, MCP servers, permissions, plugin loading), and /ticket-flow:status checks the project's tf-workflow state. The script points at both so a harness-level fault is not mistaken for an idle project.

Output

Single block of structured text:

ticket-flow @ <cwd>  (branch: <git-branch>)

PROJECT BACKEND:     beads  |  UNMIGRATED (legacy mode=kanban)  |  none — no scaffolding yet
SCAFFOLDING:         git · .beads/ · SPEC-TEMPLATE.md · CLAUDE.md · AGENTS.md  (✓ present / ✗ missing)
MEMORY HYGIENE:      ✓ clean  |  ⚠ anti-MEMORY clause in <files>
IN-FLIGHT:           N worktree(s) under .claude/worktrees
  <path>  (idle: <duration>)          — time since the branch's last commit, mtime fallback if none yet
BEADS:               <total> total · <open> open · <blocked> blocked · <ready> ready · <in_progress> in_progress
BRANCH LOCKS:        N
  <bd-id> -> <branch>  (age: <duration>, in_progress since <ISO timestamp>)
UNCOMMITTED:         clean  |  N files

RECOMMENDED NEXT STEPS:
  - <ordered concrete commands>

NO ACTION NEEDED:
  - <what's already clean>

Age and idle time are display-only (ticket-flow-76v): no threshold anywhere in the script turns a duration into an action — no branch delete, no lock release, no agent declared dead. "Branch lock age" comes from bd's own started_at on the in_progress bead (set the instant /ticket-flow:pickup step 5 claims it, right before it writes the branch: note); "worktree idle" comes from the seconds since that branch's last commit, falling back to the directory's mtime when there are no commits yet. TICKET_FLOW_NOW=<epoch-seconds> overrides "now" for both — tests only.

What ships with it

6 files 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.

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.

status is a skill published in the GitHub repository keefar/ticket-flow (4 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 1,803 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
