Before long implementation work
Large refactors and multi-hour sessions are expensive to redo.
Why check before using Claude Code?
Claude Code is useful for implementation, architecture work, and multi-file edits. On a bad day, though, shallow plans and wrong assumptions can waste both time and tokens.
LLM CODE STATUS focuses on official status signals and related incidents that matter before starting Code AI work.
When to check
When output suddenly feels shallow
If the same prompts start missing assumptions or writing weaker code, check the current signal.
Before expensive token usage
The higher the retry cost, the more useful a quick pre-check becomes.
