How do I install the Configure Status skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add laurigates/configure-status in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Configure Status skill do?

Infrastructure compliance status (read-only). Use when checking overall compliance, generating a report, or reviewing project health without making changes. It is listed under Docs & Writing on SkillMD.

Is Configure Status safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Independent scanners report: SkillSpector: PASS, Skill Scanner: PASS. Capability flags: docs only. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Configure Status?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Configure Status free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when...	Use another approach when...
Checking overall compliance status	Running full compliance checks with fixes (use `/configure:all --fix`)
Generating compliance reports	Need to fix issues found (use `/configure:all`)
Quick project health check	Checking specific component (use `/configure:X --check-only`)
CI/CD status validation	Running interactive selection (use `/configure:select`)
Reviewing current configuration state	Need detailed component analysis

Context

Parameters

Parse from $ARGUMENTS:

--verbose: Show detailed compliance information for each component

Execution

Execute this read-only compliance status check:

Step 1: Detect project type

Read .project-standards.yaml if it exists (shows tracked version and last configured date)
Auto-detect project type from file structure
Report discrepancy if detected type differs from tracked type

Step 2: List components and run detection scripts

List the component roster from the manifest (single source of truth — configure-all/components.yaml):

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../configure-all/scripts/list-components.sh"

For each COMPONENT=<name> ... HAS_SCRIPT=true line, run that component's detection script (read-only) and collect only its STATUS= and ISSUE_COUNT= lines for the roll-up:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../<name>/scripts/<name>.sh" --project-dir "$(pwd)"

For HAS_SCRIPT=false components, assess presence from the file-presence table in REFERENCE.md using the Context probes above. Never re-derive the component list by hand — new detection scripts automatically improve this skill via the manifest.

Step 3: Determine compliance status

For each component, assign a status:

Status	Meaning
PASS	Fully compliant with project standards
WARN	Present but outdated or incomplete
FAIL	Missing required configuration
SKIP	Not applicable for project type

Step 4: Print compliance report

Infrastructure Standards Status
====================================
Repository: [name]
Project Type: [type] ([detected])
Standards Version: [version] (tracked: [tracked])
Last Configured: [date]

Component Status:
  Pre-commit      PASS   v5.0.0 hooks, conventional commits
  Release-please  PASS   Node workspace plugin
  Dockerfile      WARN   Missing healthcheck
  Skaffold        PASS   3 profiles configured
  CI Workflows    WARN   Missing test workflow
  Helm            SKIP   No helm/ directory
  Tests           PASS   Vitest configured
  Coverage        WARN   72% (below 80% threshold)
  Linting         PASS   Biome configured
  Formatting      PASS   Biome configured
  Dead Code       WARN   Knip found 3 unused exports
  Editor          PASS   .editorconfig present
  Security        PASS   gitleaks + npm audit

Summary: [N] warnings, [N] failures
Run /configure:all to fix issues

Step 5: Show verbose details (if requested)

If --verbose flag is set:

Show specific version numbers for each hook/tool
List individual compliance checks performed
Show detected deviations from .project-standards.yaml
Display file modification timestamps
Show cache-busting configuration details (framework, CDN, hash patterns)

Agentic Optimizations

Context	Command
Quick status check	`/configure:status`
Verbose status	`/configure:status --verbose`
Check standards version	`grep "^standards_version:" .project-standards.yaml 2>/dev/null \| sed 's/.:[[:space:]]//'`
Check last configured date	`grep "^last_configured:" .project-standards.yaml 2>/dev/null \| sed 's/.:[[:space:]]//'`
List all workflow files	`find .github/workflows -maxdepth 1 -name '*.yml' -exec basename {} \;`

Flags

Flag	Description
`--verbose`	Show detailed compliance information

Notes

This command is read-only - no files are modified
Use for CI/CD compliance checks (exit code reflects status)
Run before /configure:all to preview what will be fixed
