# Workstatus
Not `start`. `start` orients a clean session from documents; this reports
**live state**, mid-session, by running a command and describing what it
printed. Its whole point is narrower than it sounds: report what was seen,
not what is remembered.
**Rule that matters more than the format below: never answer from
conversation memory.** Anything checkable gets checked with a command first.
"The run is probably still going" without looking at its log is exactly the
kind of guess this report exists to rule out.
## What to run
```bash
bash .floppy/run status
```
One call collects background jobs, git state (divergence from the remote,
uncommitted files), and the memory wiring, and prints an answer rather than
raw material — a bare `ps` or `git status -uall` costs far more to read for
three lines that matter.
If the repository defines a project-specific hook
(`.floppy/workstatus-project.sh` — servers, corpora, anything specific to
this project's own data), the command runs it automatically; nothing extra
to call for that.
A repository split into halves (see `agent-memory`) may also support a
`--flow` flag for the state of the process half itself (memory lint,
wrap-lock, worktrees, recent process edits):
```bash
bash .floppy/run status --flow
```
Use it only when the task is about the process itself — on any other branch
of work that half's state is someone else's business, not news.
Beyond the command, three things are worth checking only if the report
flagged
