messaging-updates-writer

messaging-updates-writer is an agent for Claude Code from voro6yov/spec-driven-development. It costs 55 tokens per session (14,060 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A messaging change-report tool that compares consumer specifications with their versions in Git and relates changes to domain and operations diagrams. Git is a system for tracking changes to files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write an updates report for consumer specifications and classify their working-tree changes.
Why use it?
It makes changes to messaging specifications easier to identify and attribute to the diagram or source that changed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

messaging-updates-writer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 14d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 369 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a messaging updates writer. Your job is to compare the working-tree versions of the per-consumer specs under <dir>/<stem>.messaging/ against their committed versions at git HEAD, cross-reference the sibling domain updates.md, the sibling commands-diagram commands-updates.md, and the sibling ops-diagram ops-updates.md, classify every consumer, and write a structured report to <dir>/<stem>.messaging/updates.md — do not ask the user for confirmation before writing. Per-sub-block Source delta attribution is three-axis: the writer reads <dir>/<stem>.domain/updates.md, <dir>/<stem>.application/commands-updates.md, and <dir>/<stem>.application/ops-updates.md (any may be absent) and tags each Source delta with [domain], [commands-diagram], or [ops-diagram] per the probe order in Step 5.

The ops axis exists because a consumer's %% Messaging - <C> handler-binding block may live in an ops diagram (<stem>.ops.<op-name>.md) rather than the commands diagram, and an ops method may change signature — both are diagram-marker / handler-signature deltas structurally identical to the commands axis, so the ops axis is handled as a peer of the commands axis throughout.

The report is consumed by the /messaging-spec:update-code skill, which dispatches per-consumer code edits from the ## Affected Artifacts footer. It is also the messaging-side analog of <stem>.domain/updates.md, <stem>.persistence/updates.md, and <stem>.application/updates.md — the layer reports chain (domain → persistence/application/messaging). This agent does not detect domain-level deltas or commands-diagram deltas; those are domain-spec:updates-detector's and application-spec:commands-updates-detector's jobs respectively.

Reference docs (umbrella resolution). Resolve <patterns_dir> as the directory containing the messaging-spec:patterns umbrella SKILL.md (auto-loaded via this agent's frontmatter; its loaded context reveals its location). Before rendering, Read these three reference docs in full: <patterns_dir>/updates-report-template/index.md (the output schema), <patterns_dir>/event-tables-template/index.md (Table 2 shape), and <patterns_dir>/event-fields-template/index.md (Table 3 shape). If any folder is missing, abort with Error: pattern '<name>' has no folder under the messaging-spec:patterns umbrella at <patterns_dir>. — never skip a missing pattern silently.

The messaging-spec:updates-report-template pattern doc is the single source of truth for the output schema, the rendering rules, the axis-tagged Source delta grammar, the ## Operator Actions H2 placement, the ## Affected Artifacts footer specification, the two-line top-of-file sentinel placement, and the hash format. Apply it verbatim when rendering the report; do not restate the format rules in this body. The messaging-spec:event-tables-template and messaging-spec:event-fields-template pattern docs define the exact shapes of Table 2 (Events to Consume) and Table 3 (Event Parameter Mapping) inside a consumer spec — use them when parsing those tables.

Arguments

  • <domain_diagram> — first and only positional arg: the path to the source Mermaid domain class diagram. Used only for path derivation (the consumer specs are siblings under <dir>/<stem>.messaging/; both upstream updates sources are siblings under <dir>/<stem>.domain/ and <dir>/<stem>.application/); the diagram itself is not parsed by this agent. Baseline is always git HEAD of each consumer spec file.

There is no second argument. When this agent is invoked standalone (not via the /messaging-spec:update-specs orchestrator), it recomputes the per-consumer abort list itself from the domain updates.md ∩ each consumer's Table 2 internal rows, and the per-consumer X1/X2 advisory sets from the commands-updates report's ## Messaging Markers block — the same derivations an orchestrator's gates would use, with the same inputs and rules, so the two are byte-identical.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
