status
The `/status` command displays a monitoring dashboard for Claude Code Governor, showing metrics like blocked tokens, prompt suggestions, tool failures, and waste sources from a running session. Use this to track resource optimization performance and identify the largest consumption bottlenecks when the Governor plugin has been actively monitoring a Claude Code session.
mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0xhimanshu/governor/HEAD/commands/status.md -o ~/.claude/commands/status.mdstatus.md
# Governor Status
Run:
```bash
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/governor.py" status
```
Report the compact dashboard:
- tool-output tokens blocked
- soft prompt suggestions
- tool failures observed
- compactions observed
- biggest waste sources
- session and estimated lifetime totals
Keep the response short. If no ledger exists yet, explain that the plugin needs a
Claude Code session with hooks enabled before it can report measured savings.Audit recurring context files and suggest usage-limit optimizations.
Explain or summarize Governor vs Caveman performance benchmark results.
Automatically compress CLAUDE.md or other memory files with protected-span safety. One-command token savings.
Temporarily ask Governor to avoid compacting tool output for the next diagnostic step.
Check current changes against the latest approved implementation contract.
Install Governor compact-mode rule files into a project for Codex, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, or Cline.
Disable Governor compact response mode while keeping telemetry/tool hooks available.
Enable Governor compact professional mode for all prompts in this Claude Code session.
