CLI status

npx create-syntaxis@latest status

Reads the project’s state without changing a single thing about it.

Options

Option	Effect
--json	Print one JSON object instead of formatted output
--target, -t	Project directory, defaults to the current one
--help, -h	Show status help

What comes back

• Installed version and which adapters are active
• Build-plan progress
• Whatever’s currently active — feature, fix, or rollback — and its state
• Git branch and working-tree state
• Open findings
• A suggested next command

As JSON

npx create-syntaxis@latest status --json

Handy in a shell prompt, an editor status line, or a pre-commit sanity check.

Terminal versus asking in chat

The CLI’s status just reads files. The /status skill reads that same state but can also reason about drift and explain, in context, what to actually do next.

Reach for the CLI when you want a fast, scriptable answer. Reach for the skill when what you want is guidance on what comes next.
