Clawness Status

Show the user what's currently active in their Clawness setup.

Running the Clawness CLI. It ships with the plugin but isn't on your PATH. Use the bundled launcher, falling back to the wrapper the SessionStart bootstrap stashes (older Claude Code doesn't substitute the plugin root in skills):

CLAW="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/clawness-cli.sh"
[ -f "$CLAW" ] || CLAW="${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude}/clawness/clawness-cli.sh"
bash "$CLAW" <command>          # e.g. bash "$CLAW" stats

If neither path exists (an older Claude Code before the bootstrap has run), start a fresh session. (Editable/manual installs may instead use python -m clawness.cli ....)

Keep this FAST — it's a quick health check, not a full scan. Step 1 already proves retrieval at zero cost, so a test query is unnecessary.

Steps

1. Report the rules you already see (no command). You (Claude) receive the Clawness rule block at the top of your context this turn. Summarize it: how many mandatory + relevant rules, and a few rule IDs. If you see it, injection is working — this alone is the health check.

   If you do NOT see an injected block, say so plainly and do not rationalize it. The hook injects the global rules on every prompt in every directory — the working directory (including being in the Clawness source repo) does not disable injection; it only affects the optional .clawness/rules/ project overlay. A missing block means the hook is not running — either not loaded this session (needs a restart / /reload-plugins) or erroring (check /hooks and claude --debug). Never attribute a missing block to the current directory.

2. Show the corpus + token cost. Run (fast):

   bash "$CLAW" stats

   Report total rules, domains, and the Tokens / turn line.
3. Project rules (only if present). If .clawness/rules/ exists in the project (walk up to the git root), mention it; otherwise skip silently.

Summary — keep it to a few lines:

• Rule injection: working (you saw the block) / not seeing rules
• Global rules: N across M domains; ~N tokens/turn (tune with CLAW_TOP_K, CLAW_VERBOSE, CLAW_COMPACT)
• Project rules: N, or "none — bash \"$CLAW\" init . to add some"
