What it does
Status is an agent skill from karanb192/claude-code-hooks. Show this session's prompt-cache state, the cold-comeback price, and the cache writes paid so far
Its SKILL.md is about 210 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: 🪝 Claude Code hooks + an installable plugin marketplace: safety, cost, observability, productivity. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/status”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c9c90a. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
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
Status loads about 212 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 106 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
The full file from karanb192/claude-code-hooks at commit 3c9c90a, republished under its MIT licence (© karanb192). 106 words, ~212 tokens.

The card above is this session's prompt-cache state from its own transcript: which cache tier the main conversation is on, whether the cache is warm or has lapsed, how many tokens the next message re-writes if it is cold and what that costs at list price, and the session's cache writes, reads and full re-writes so far.
State what the next message will cost in one sentence. If the cache is cold and the context is large, say whether /clear plus a short handoff note is the cheaper move. Keep it short; do not re-run any commands.

Questions about Status
What does Status do?
Show this session's prompt-cache state, the cold-comeback price, and the cache writes paid so far. Status is an agent skill from karanb192/claude-code-hooks.
How do I install Status in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add karanb192/claude-code-hooks --skill status -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/cache-tax/skills/status in karanb192/claude-code-hooks) into .claude/skills/status in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Status in Codex?
Run `npx skills add karanb192/claude-code-hooks --skill status -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/cache-tax/skills/status in karanb192/claude-code-hooks) into .agents/skills/status in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Status in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add karanb192/claude-code-hooks --skill status -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/status, .gemini/skills/status, .github/skills/status and .opencode/skills/status in your project.
What does Status need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Status needs the command-line tools its instructions call (node).
Does Status access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Status safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Status use?
Status is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Status use?
About 212 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 848 characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Status?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Status: Prompt Caching (davila7/claude-code-templates, 32k stars), Turborepo Caching (wshobson/agents, 40k stars), OmniRoute LLM Cache (diegosouzapw/OmniRoute, 74k stars) and Caching (zebbern/claude-code-guide, 4.7k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Status?
karanb192 (a GitHub user) maintains it in karanb192/claude-code-hooks, which has 533 GitHub stars. The repository holds 8 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 4, 2026.
