auto-update

auto-update is a command for Claude Code from affaan-m/ECC. It costs 13 tokens per session (513 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that pulls the newest changes from the ECC repository and reinstalls the currently managed targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update ECC and regenerate its managed installation from the existing install settings.
Why use it?
It avoids manually finding updates, applying them, and rebuilding the current installation. A preview mode lets you inspect the update before it changes anything.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

auto-update 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Auto Update

Update ECC from its upstream repo and regenerate the current context's managed install using the original install-state request.

Usage

# Preview the update without mutating anything
ECC_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(node -e "var r=(function(){var p=require('path'),f=require('fs'),o=require('os');var e=process.env.CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT;if(e&&e.trim())return e.trim();var d=p.join(o.homedir(),'.claude');function L(x){try{return require(p.join(x,'scripts','lib','resolve-ecc-root')).resolveEccRoot({probe:p.join('scripts','auto-update.js')})}catch(_){return null}}var r=L(d);if(r)return r;var s=['ecc','ecc@ecc','marketplaces/ecc','everything-claude-code','everything-claude-code@everything-claude-code','marketplaces/everything-claude-code'];for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){r=L(p.join(d,'plugins',s[i]));if(r)return r}try{var g=['ecc','everything-claude-code'];for(var j=0;j<g.length;j++){var c=p.join(d,'plugins','cache',g[j]);var O=f.readdirSync(c);for(var k=0;k<O.length;k++){var q=p.join(c,O[k]);var V=f.readdirSync(q);for(var m=0;m<V.length;m++){r=L(p.join(q,V[m]));if(r)return r}}}}catch(_){}return d})();console.log(r)")}"
node "$ECC_ROOT/scripts/auto-update.js" --dry-run

# Update only Cursor-managed files in the current project
node "$ECC_ROOT/scripts/auto-update.js" --target cursor

# Override the ECC repo root explicitly
node "$ECC_ROOT/scripts/auto-update.js" --repo-root /path/to/everything-claude-code

Notes

  • This command uses the recorded install-state request and reruns install-apply.js after pulling the latest repo changes.
  • Reinstall is intentional: it handles upstream renames and deletions that repair.js cannot safely reconstruct from stale operations alone.
  • Use --dry-run first if you want to see the reconstructed reinstall plan before mutating anything.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
