flywheel-status is a skill for Claude Code from WinterDDo/claude-skill-flywheel. It costs 52 tokens per session (201 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A status report for a learning log called the flywheel. It reads the current principles and recorded corrections, then reports what is active and whether a review is due.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the flywheel’s active principles, count and review recent corrections, and decide whether to run a distillation pass.
Why use it?
It shows what lessons are currently applied and whether repeated corrections should be consolidated into lasting rules.

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

flywheel-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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Flywheel status

Read ~/.claude/.flywheel/principles.md and ~/.claude/.flywheel/corrections.md.

Report concisely:

  • Principles in force — the live principles from principles.md, as a short list (or "none yet" if empty).
  • Corrections logged — how many entries are in corrections.md, with the titles of the 3 most recent.
  • Is a distill due? — if there are many corrections but few promoted principles, say so and suggest running /flywheel:distill.

Keep it to a few lines. This is a status glance, not an analysis.

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.
