status

status is a skill for Claude Code from orwa-mahmoud/nightshift. It costs 0 tokens per session (715 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only project status report for Nightshift, a system for organising and running coding work in shifts. It separates active tasks, later tasks, undecided choices, scheduled work, deadlines, and STOP states.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check open and completed tasks, parked decisions, reported problems, remaining time, and whether work has been stopped.
Why use it?
It shows the current project state without starting work or changing files. This prevents different kinds of pending work from being mixed together.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

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.

Part of the nightshift plugin — 13 skills, 5 hooks shipped together

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 yesterday.

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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Report the shift status for the host-opened project without starting or changing anything — this is read-only. Modify no file, begin no work.

Resolve the installed plugin root to an absolute $NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} on Claude Code, $PLUGIN_ROOT on Codex when set, otherwise the absolute path this skill was attached from (skills/status/SKILL.md). Run every command below through "$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT/runtime/ns" — native Windows: & "$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT\runtime\windows\ns.ps1" in the PowerShell tool, same verbs — which resolves the host and the workspace; ns help lists the verbs, and ns bind prints the six resolved facts (TASK_ROOT, NIGHTSHIFT_WORKSPACE, NS, NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT, HOST, SOURCE); $NS below is that NS. Never a bare relative path: the working directory persists between calls.

1. Run the two read-only inspectors

"$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT/runtime/ns" status
"$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT/runtime/ns" doctor

ns status prints every fact: workspace, schema, armed or not, item counts and the current open item, parked entries, staged drafts and Hunt orders, recent snag dispositions, opportunity counts and any building entry, deadline remaining, STOP, stall attempts, session, lease, watch reason, work mode and target, artifact receipts, and recent transitions. ns doctor adds the checks Status cannot make safely on its own — process liveness, the lease lines, and every Warning about a path that is not a usable file.

2. Render, never re-derive

Every number and every name above is already computed. Do not count boxes, subtract a deadline from the clock, read a marker, or work out what a state means: the fact lines carry their own meaning where there is one to carry.

Do not reimplement liveness, do not read the runtime-owned lease file directly, and never re-derive policy precedence. The inspectors validate through the shared library, classify the recorded pid and the watchman pid themselves, and never print a session id, a session scope, or an ownership capability.

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 orwa-mahmoud/nightshift (56 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 715 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
