index-status

index-status is a skill for Claude Code from MacroMan5/macromanatlas. It costs 33 tokens per session (602 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-index health check that reports whether the index is current, which modules it covers, whether its hooks work, and when it last synced.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose index problems, detect modules whose README files no longer match their files, and check sync hooks and recent activity.
Why use it?
It helps find missing or outdated code documentation without checking each module by hand.

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

index-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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/index-status

Show the health and status of the project index.

Step 1: Announce

Say: "Checking MacroManAtlas index status..."

Step 2: Check index existence

Read .claude/index.md. If it doesn't exist, report:

MacroManAtlas Status
────────────────
⚠ No index found. Run /index-init to generate one.

And stop.

Step 3: Parse index metadata

From .claude/index.md, extract:

  • Generation timestamp
  • Project type
  • Module count
  • File count

Step 4: Check each module

For each module listed in the index:

  1. Check if <Module>/README.md exists
  2. Get the README's last modification time (use git log -1 --format=%ci -- <Module>/README.md or Bash stat)
  3. Get the latest file modification in the module (use git log -1 --format=%ci -- <Module>/)
  4. Count files in filesystem: git ls-files <Module>/ | wc -l (or Glob fallback)
  5. Count files listed in the README's Files table
  6. Compare: if filesystem has more files than README, mark as stale

Status symbols:

  • ✓ = README exists and is fresh (no newer files than README)
  • ⚠ = README exists but stale (newer files not indexed)
  • ✗ = No README.md found

Step 5: Check hooks

Read the plugin's hooks.json to verify hook registration. Check for:

  • SessionStart hook
  • PostToolUse hook
  • PreCompact hook
  • Stop hook

Step 6: Check recent sync activity

Read last 20 lines of ~/.claude/logs/index-sync.log (if exists). Extract the most recent sync: module name and timestamp.

Step 7: Present dashboard

Format output as:

MacroManAtlas Status
────────────────
Index: .claude/index.md (generated <time ago>)
Type: <project-type> | Modules: <N> | Indexed files: <N>

Module Health:
  ✓ ModuleName          — <N> files, README fresh
  ⚠ ModuleName          — <N> files, README stale (<N> new files not indexed)
  ✗ ModuleName          — no README.md

Hooks: SessionStart ✓ | PostToolUse ✓ | PreCompact ✓ | Stop ✓
Last sync: <module> (<time ago>) — <change_type>

If no sync log exists, show: Last sync: no activity recorded

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.
