# overlane run status

{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate.mjs (CLI pages from the command registry in packages/cli). Do not edit; run `pnpm --filter @overlane/docs gen`. */}

Reports the policy (status, budgets), this working copy's run (tasks, minutes, usage) and the next runnable task. A paused policy or a spent budget appears as `stop`; a run with nothing to do still starts and ends.

## Usage

```sh
overlane run status [--executor claude-code|codex|gemini-cli|cursor]
```

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--executor` | one of `claude-code`, `codex`, `gemini-cli`, `cursor` | no |  | Which agent this is (default: detected from the environment) |

## Examples

```sh
overlane run status
```

## Behavior

- Effect: `read` (changes nothing).
- Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
- Supports `--dry-run`: no. Accepts `--force`: no.
- Machine-readable description: `overlane schema run status`.

## Result

With `--json` (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema's shape on stdout.
