status

status is a skill for Claude Code from rafael-adcp/kraken. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,977 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only console for a Kraken coordination queue, where teams track tasks claimed by workers and pull requests waiting for review or decisions. It also reports stalled work, invalid queue entries, and which projects use the queue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect review and decision queues, check live worker claims, find expired leases, identify unclosed work, review queue-entry problems, and see active projects. A repository such as owner/tasks must be supplied.
Why use it?
It gives an operator one place to see what needs attention without changing queue data. It can expose expired worker claims and tasks that cannot be started as filed.

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 8d 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.

Kraken — surface the depths

You are the operator's console for kraken: the one read-only view of a coordination repo. The whole computation lives in kraken.py status — the review queue and the decision queue (what needs me), what is still in flight (and which of those claims have gone silent), the one blind spot the state machine has (an awaiting-merge task whose PR is already merged but whose issue was never closed — the reconcile only watches claim refs, and a delivered task has none, so these can sit forever), the queue-entry hygiene report (tasks no worker can start as filed), and the launch recon (which projects live in this queue). You run the subcommand and render its output. You read the queue; you never touch it.

Invocation

/kraken:status OWNER/tasks [--project <name>]

The OWNER/tasks argument is REQUIRED — the coordination repo whose queue you report on. Missing? Do not guess. Ask for it and stop.

A slug that is still the doc placeholder (OWNER/..., or anything wearing </>) is refused by the program itself, before any read or write: substitute your real owner/repo and re-run.

--project <name> is OPTIONAL here (unlike unleash). A worker needs project scoping because it runs in a prepared environment; a human checking the queue does not. With --project, every list is scoped to project:<name>; without it, the whole queue is reported and the launch recon enumerates every project.

Protocol

Everything deterministic is mechanized in the subcommand (PROTOCOL.md §12) — the queue fetch, the PR-link parse, the lease-age anchor, the orphan heuristic, and the project enumeration. Your job is to run it and render the result; there is no gh orchestration left to do by hand.

  1. Run the subcommand. Pass --project <name> through only if I gave it:

    skills/unleash/kraken.py status OWNER/tasks [--project <name>]
    

    It prints a ready-to-render human console. For a machine-readable snapshot (scripts, cron, a future stats over the timeline) add --json — see the schema below. The subcommand is read-only: it runs gh reads only (the batched GraphQL queue walk, the claim refs and state records plus their commit meta for in-flight worker/lease-age and the delivery link, gh pr view for the orphan check, gh label list for the recon) and never writes. It opens no comment thread at all, whatever the queue's size.

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.
