At a glance

Shows WORK progress and TASK status. An agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude.

  • Works in 3 steps: Read works/WORK-LIST.md for the master… → For a specific WORK, read… → For a specific TASK, read…
  • The user asks about WORK list
  • SKILL.md covers How to Check, Status Values, Display Format and Arguments
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Work Status is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Shows WORK progress and TASK status. Use when the user asks about WORK list, WORK progress, TASK status, or pipeline status (e.g., "WORK list", "WORK-01 progress", "show status").

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about WORK list
  • Pipeline status (e.g.
  • WORK-01 progress

Example prompts

  • “WORK list”
  • “WORK-01 progress”
  • “show status”
  • “/work-status”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read works/WORK-LIST.md for the master index of all WORKs
  2. For a specific WORK, read works/WORK-NN/PROGRESS.md for TASK-level progress
  3. For a specific TASK, read works/WORK-NN/TASK-NN_result.md for completion details

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 10bfc43. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Work Status loads about 253 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 76 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~253

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
