# mdn status

> Update task status.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
mdn status <task-code> <new-status> [--agent <name>]
```

`mdn status` uses the workspace selected by the nearest `.median/config.json`. If no project-local config exists, it uses your global default profile.

## Examples

```bash theme={null}
# Move to in progress
mdn status MED-42 in_progress

# Mark as ready (with agent)
mdn status MED-42 ready --agent claude-code

# Ship it
mdn status MED-42 shipped

# Archive
mdn status MED-42 archive
```

## Output

```
  ✓ MED-42: Fix authentication bug
     Todo → In Progress ⚡ claude-code
```
