name: instant-status description: Instant status commands that bypass LLM processing. Execute scripts directly for /sw:status, /sw:progress, /sw:jobs. Activates for specweave status, specweave progress, specweave jobs, increment status, show status, show progress, background jobs, job status.

Instant Status Commands

These commands need NO LLM reasoning - execute scripts directly for instant results.

Commands and Scripts

CRITICAL: Direct Execution Required

When user requests these commands:

1. DO NOT process as natural language
2. DO NOT expand slash command markdown
3. RUN the bash script via Bash tool (NOT node!)
4. SHOW output directly to user

Example Execution

# User types: /sw:status
# You execute:
bash plugins/specweave/scripts/read-status.sh

# User types: /sw:progress
# You execute:
bash plugins/specweave/scripts/read-progress.sh

# User types: /sw:jobs
# You execute:
bash plugins/specweave/scripts/read-jobs.sh

Three Execution Paths

CLI Alternative

Users can also run directly in terminal:

specweave status    # Full CLI command
specweave jobs      # Background jobs

Script Arguments

bash plugins/specweave/scripts/read-status.sh 0045    # Specific increment
bash plugins/specweave/scripts/read-jobs.sh --all     # All jobs

Why This Matters

• 3+ minutes to <100ms: Status commands were expanding as prompts
• Zero LLM tokens: Pure filesystem reads, no AI needed
• Universal: Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, CLI
