$ npx skills add zereight/gitlab-mcp --skill status -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install zereight/gitlab-mcp status --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zereight/gitlab-mcp.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/.github/skills/status .claude/skills/status && rm -rf skills-src

At a glance

Reports which OMG modes are active, such as autopilot, ralph, team, ultraqa and self-improve, with phase, story or cycle progress read from their state files.

  • Works in 3 steps: Scan State Files → Report Active Modes → Report No Active Modes
  • Checking which OMG mode is currently running
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Workflow, Output Format and Verbose Mode (--verbose)
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill scans the .omc/state directory for the JSON state files that each OMG mode writes: omg-autopilot, ralph, ultrawork, ultraqa, team and the self-improve agent settings. It then reports each mode that is active, and when none are it replies with a short message pointing to /omg-autopilot, /ralph or /team to start one.

What gets shown depends on the mode: the autopilot phase out of 0 to 5 and files changed so far; the current ralph story and how many stories pass; the team name, member count, pipeline stage and tasks done; the UltraQA cycle out of 5 and the last failure; and for self-improve the iteration, best score against baseline, improvement percentage and distance to the stop condition. With --verbose it adds each mode's full state JSON, the last 5 commits and a listing of the .omc directory.

When your agent uses it

  • Checking which OMG mode is currently running
  • Seeing progress of an autopilot, ralph or team run
  • Verifying state after a cancel or resume

Example prompts

  • “What's running right now?”
  • “Show progress on the ralph run.”
  • “Where are we? Give me the verbose status with recent commits.”

Requirements

  • An OMG setup that writes state files under .omc/state

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Scan State Files
  2. Report Active Modes
  3. Report No Active Modes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0109168. 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

OMG Mode Status loads about 441 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~441

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.

[--verbose]

Status

Show the current state of all OMG modes, active agents, and progress.

When to Use

  • Check what mode is currently active
  • See progress of omg-autopilot, ralph, or team execution
  • Verify state after a cancel or resume

Workflow

1. Scan State Files

Read .omc/state/ directory for active mode state files:

  • omg-autopilot-state.json
  • ralph-state.json
  • ultrawork-state.json
  • ultraqa-state.json
  • team-state.json
  • self-improve/state/agent-settings.json
2. Report Active Modes

For each active mode, show:

OMG Autopilot:

  • Current phase (0-5)
  • Phase name and progress
  • Files modified so far

Ralph:

  • Current story (N of M)
  • Stories passing / total
  • Linked ultrawork status

Team:

  • Team name and member count
  • Current pipeline stage
  • Task completion (N/M tasks done)

UltraQA:

  • Current cycle (N of 5)
  • Last failure summary

Self-Improve:

  • Current iteration
  • Best score vs baseline
  • Improvement percentage
  • Stop condition proximity
3. Report No Active Modes

If nothing is active: "No active OMG modes. Start with /omg-autopilot, /ralph, or /team."

Output Format

=== OMG Status ===

Mode: OMG Autopilot
Phase: 2/5 (Execution)
Started: 2 minutes ago
Files modified: 12

Mode: Team (linked)
Team: fix-ts-errors
Stage: team-exec
Workers: 3/3 active
Tasks: 2/5 completed

Verbose Mode (--verbose)

With --verbose, also show:

  • Full state JSON for each active mode
  • Recent git log (last 5 commits)
  • .omc/ directory listing

It then reports each mode that is active, and when none are it replies with a short message pointing to /omg-autopilot, /ralph or /team to start one.

When should I use OMG Mode Status?

OMG Mode Status fits situations like: checking which OMG mode is currently running; seeing progress of an autopilot, ralph or team run; verifying state after a cancel or resume.

How do I install OMG Mode Status in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add zereight/gitlab-mcp --skill status -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/skills/status in zereight/gitlab-mcp) into .claude/skills/status in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Run `npx skills add zereight/gitlab-mcp --skill status -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/skills/status in zereight/gitlab-mcp) into .agents/skills/status in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use OMG Mode 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 zereight/gitlab-mcp --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 OMG Mode Status need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: OMG Mode Status is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: An OMG setup that writes state files under .omc/state.

Does OMG Mode 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 OMG Mode 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.
