workflow-status skillA

workflow-status is agent-read markdown (skill) from jakeselby/agent-harness: Show progress of background Workflow runs: who has returned, who is still working, how much output. Use when the user asks about workflow progress, says "/workflows doesn't work", asks "is the workflow done", "how's the workflow going", "check the workflow", or wants to inspect a multi-agent orchestration run..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Workflow status

For harness-owned isolated role workers, run `harness role status` or
`harness role status <worker-id>`. Report status, runtime, role and result path from those records.
They are separate CLI processes and do not appear as native subagent threads.

This reader inspects local Claude workflow journals from any client with filesystem access.
It does not inspect Codex native agent threads or hosted runs. For those, use the client's native
agent view; an empty local journal search does not mean no agents are running.

## Run it

```bash
python3 "{skill-root}/scripts/status.py"            # most recent run
python3 "{skill-root}/scripts/status.py" --all      # every run, newest first
python3 "{skill-root}/scripts/status.py" --limit 3  # the last three
python3 "{skill-root}/scripts/status.py" --run wf_eed4141a   # one specific run
```

Report the output to the user in prose — the counts, what is still in flight, and roughly how
far along the run is. Do not paste the raw table unless they ask for it.

## What it reads, and what it must not

The script reads:

- `~/.claude/projects/*/*/subagents/workflows/wf_*/journal.jsonl` — one line per agent start and
…

How to install

Latest version
mdr add jakeselby/agent-harness/workflow-status@git:20260923.097bdb0
Exact content
mdr add jakeselby/agent-harness/workflow-status@sha256:9099c773466b32d6

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
