# Ask what is done, blocked, and next

Read delivery status from the plan in your repo without changing anything.

## Prompt

Claude Code:

```text
/planr:status
```

Codex:

```text
$status
```

With the OpenPlanr plugin for Codex, use $planr:status.

Cursor:

```text
@planr-status
```

Cursor applies the planr-status rule when you mention it in chat.

## Why this works

Status reads your planning files, task statuses, and dependency graph without changing them, then reports ready and blocked work and the most useful next action. It is read-only, so ask as often as you like.

## Make it stick
