update

update is a command for coding agents from AutomateLab-tech/agency-os. It costs 0 tokens per session (189 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for changing task details without changing the task's status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to replace or clear notes, set task dependencies, move a task under a parent, or promote a subtask to the top level.
Why use it?
It avoids recreating or completing a task just to correct its notes, dependencies, or place in the task hierarchy.

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

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 4d 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

Command: update <id> ...

Mutate properties without changing status. All flags optional. Print: Updated: [<title>](<url>).

--notes "..." replaces the Description toggle body. To append without replacing, use log instead.

--deps=<id1>,<id2>,... replaces the Dependencies relation (each id resolved live via Notion; refuse if any is unknown). --deps=none clears it. Self-reference and cycles are refused.

--parent=<id> reparents the task under <id> (resolved live; refuse if unknown, Done, or Killed; refuse self-reference and cycles). --parent=none removes the parent and promotes the row to top-level. Use cases: regrouping flat tasks under a newly created container, demoting a misplaced subtask back to root, swapping a task between umbrella initiatives.

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.
