FLOW Status

Show where you are in the FLOW workflow. Reads the state file and prints a status panel. Read-only — never modifies anything.

Concurrency

This flow is one of potentially many running simultaneously — on this machine (multiple worktrees) and across machines (multiple engineers). Your state file (.flow-states/<branch>/state.json) is yours alone. Never read or write another branch's state. All local artifacts (logs, plan files, temp files) are scoped by branch name.

Announce

At the very start, output the following banner in your response (not via Bash) inside a fenced code block:

```text
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
  FLOW v1.1.0 — flow:flow-status — STARTING
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
```

Panel Fields

The status panel includes:

• Feature — derived from the branch name
• Branch — the git branch the flow is running on
• Subdir — the relative_cwd from the state file, shown only when non-empty. For a mono-repo flow started inside api/, this reads api. Root-level flows (empty relative_cwd) omit the line.
• PR — the PR URL if one exists
• Elapsed — total time since the flow started
• Notes — count of session notes (omitted when zero)
• Phase list with completion state and cumulative time
• Time in current phase + visit count for the active phase
• Continue/Next command to run
• Tokens — flow-level token total + cost (e.g. 12.4K ($0.087)) computed via window_deltas::flow_total from the per-phase window_at_* and step_snapshots[] data. The line carries a trailing ↻ marker when any span observed a rate-limit window reset. The line is omitted entirely when no phase carries snapshot data so an empty block does not pollute the panel.

Steps

Step 1 — Run the status formatter

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/flow format-status

Check the exit code:

• Exit 0 — stdout contains the panel text (single feature or multiple features). Print it inside a fenced code block (triple backticks with text language tag) so it renders as plain monospace text.

• Exit 1 — no state file exists. Output the following banner in your response (not via Bash) inside a fenced code block:

```text
No FLOW feature in progress on this branch.
Start one with /flow:flow-start <feature name>.
```

Then stop.

• Exit 2 — error. stderr contains the error message. Show it and stop.

Rules

• Read-only — never modifies the state file or any other files
• Never calls TaskCreate or TaskUpdate
