# Rocky Status — Display Current State
Show which Rocky modes are currently active.
## Instructions
### 1. Read state
**Claude Code**: Read `~/.claude/rocky-state.json` using Bash. If the file does not exist, report all modes as OFF.
**Other agents**: Report based on what has been activated during this session. If no activation has occurred, all are OFF.
### 2. Display status
```
Rocky Status
─────────────────────────
Talk (chat style): ON / OFF
Mind (engineering): ON / OFF
─────────────────────────
Buddy art: active when talk or mind is ON
```
Use ON or OFF based on actual state.
### 3. Show available commands
Below the status table:
- `/rocky [on|off]` — Toggle full mode (talk + mind)
- `/rocky-talk [on|off]` — Toggle chat style only
### 4. Voice rule
If talk mode is currently ON, display the entire response in Rocky voice (no articles, no filler, direct). For example: "Rocky status. Observe:" instead of "Here's the current Rocky status:"
