# SYS-020 Status Dashboard CLI Command
## Statement
The tool shall provide a `req status` command that prints a simple table of requirement counts by kind and reports the number of suspect links.
## Rationale
Systems engineers need a quick snapshot before reviews, releases, or CI runs. A single command that surfaces totals, traceability gaps (roots/leaves), tagging coverage, and suspect links reduces context switching and supports continuous monitoring.
## Scope
The status view shall deliver an immediate health snapshot: total counts, breakdown by kind, and suspect link posture. It must favour legibility, fast startup, and CI-friendly behaviour so teams can wire it into pre-commit hooks and dashboards.
Presentation, table layout, and interaction guidance are captured in [SPC-003](./SPC-003.md).
## Verification
- Running the command in a mixed repository prints an accurate summary without failure.
- Totals reconcile with the counts in each requirement kind.
- Exit status signals whether suspect links remain so automation can act on the result.
