Reading the sections:

• Status breakdown — one bar character per idea, capped at 40 characters. A repo with 500 captured ideas and 3 shipped ones shows a 40-character bar next to a 3-character one, so compare the numbers rather than the bars once you are past 40.
• Recent captures — up to five ideas still in captured, in list order. It is not a last-7-days window: an idea captured a year ago and never moved still appears here.
• Pending duplicates — up to five unresolved detections, with the similarity score. The section is omitted entirely when there are none.

JSON output

nrepo status --json

{
  "user": { "email": "alice@example.com", "plan": "pro" },
  "counts": { "captured": 12, "exploring": 5, "building": 3, "shipped": 8, "shelved": 2 },
  "total": 30,
  "pending_duplicates": 2
}

The JSON form is a summary only — it carries neither the recent captures nor the duplicate pairs. Use nrepo log --limit 5 --json and nrepo duplicate list --json for those.

BUILDING=$(nrepo status --json | jq '.counts.building')
echo "You have $BUILDING ideas in progress"

Caution

nrepo status counts by walking your entire idea list, 100 at a time, then calls the duplicates and user endpoints. On a large repo it is the slowest command in the CLI — a poor choice for a shell prompt or a tight loop.

Note

Pending duplicates are Pro-only. On the free plan the duplicates endpoint returns an empty list, so pending_duplicates is always 0 and the section never renders — even though detections are still being recorded in the background and appear the moment you upgrade.
