What it does

H Status is an agent skill from m0n0x41d/haft. Read-only Haft project cockpit for active problems, decisions, notes, evidence freshness, drift, commissions, spec lifecycle, module decision coverage, and bounded exact file-link gaps from a current code index. Use for project status, session resumption, "what is decision-linked", "what is uncovered", or "what needs attention". This skill reports current graph state and drill-downs; it does not mutate artifacts, infer a project phase, or prescribe a universal next step.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Engineering decisions engine that know when they're stale. Frame, compare, decide — with evidence decay and parity enforcement. For Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex and more.

When your agent uses it

  • Session resumption
  • What is decision-linked
  • What is uncovered
  • What needs attention

Example prompts

  • “what is decision-linked”
  • “what is uncovered”
  • “what needs attention”
  • “/h-status”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, mcp__haft__haft_query, mcp__haft__haft_spec_section

Workflow steps

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

  1. Call mcphafthaft_query(action="coverage").
  2. Read file gaps only as files in a decision-bearing module without an exact
  3. If the operator names a file or module, call related for that exact path.
  4. If coverage reports an absent or stale derived index, limit only the current
  5. Distinguish
  6. Report blind spots as orientation cues. Coverage is not a quality score and

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0c63f4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • mcp__haft__haft_query
    • mcp__haft__haft_spec_section

    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

H Status loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,028 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, mcp__haft__haft_query, mcp__haft__haft_spec_section

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,028 words (~2,349 tokens).

“If there is no current status, resumption, coverage, or recorded-state question, return without calling status. Never call h-status after completed reasoning or edits only to backfill process compliance.”

H Status is an agent skill from m0n0x41d/haft. Read-only Haft project cockpit for active problems, decisions, notes, evidence freshness, drift, commissions, spec lifecycle, module decision coverage, and bounded exact file-link gaps from a current code index.

When should I use H Status?

H Status fits situations like: session resumption; what is decision-linked; what is uncovered; what needs attention.

How do I install H Status in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add m0n0x41d/haft --skill h-status -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (internal/cli/skill/h-status in m0n0x41d/haft) into .claude/skills/h-status in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install H Status in Codex?

Run `npx skills add m0n0x41d/haft --skill h-status -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (internal/cli/skill/h-status in m0n0x41d/haft) into .agents/skills/h-status in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use H 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 m0n0x41d/haft --skill h-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/h-status, .gemini/skills/h-status, .github/skills/h-status and .opencode/skills/h-status in your project.

What does H Status need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: H Status is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, mcp__haft__haft_query, mcp__haft__haft_spec_section.

Does H 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 H Status safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does H Status use?

H Status has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does H Status use?

About 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.4k 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 H Status?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with H Status: MCP Server Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), Hook Development for Claude Code Plugins (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 38k stars), Using Superpowers (farm-fe/farm, 5.6k stars) and Executing Plans Inline (obra/superpowers, 297k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
