pulse-update

An interactive editor for updating Pulse project briefs, which are summaries shown in an executive project dashboard.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after completing a piece of work to update the project's current reality, risks, next actions, and activity history.
Why use it?
It keeps the dashboard aligned with recent work, current conditions, risks, history, and next steps without changing fields managed by Planner.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

pulse-update scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Interactive editor for Pulse project briefs. Used AFTER finishing a chunk of work to reflect it in the exec dashboard. Distinct from /planner-push — this command is editorial (brief/narrative content), /planner-push is mechanical (% complete).

Pulse brief data shape

Pulse projects are keyed by their Planner task ID and stored in Azure Table Storage. Each project has these dashboard-only editable fields (set via PATCH /api/projects/{taskId}):

Field Type Semantics
brief.objective string What the project is trying to achieve. Rarely changes.
brief.currentReality string Where we are today. Should reflect the most recent material change.
brief.risks string[] Active risks/blockers. Add new ones, remove resolved ones.
nextActions { action, owner, dueDate }[] Forward-looking work items. Replaces fully on write.
history { date, action, by }[] Append-only feed of what has been done.
priority int Dashboard ordering hint. Don't touch unless explicitly asked.

The Planner-managed fields (title, percentComplete, dueDate, assignees) flow FROM Planner and should NOT be touched here — use /planner-push for those.

Step 1: Identify which project we're updating

If the user invokes /pulse-update without args, determine the target:

  • If the last ~20 turns of conversation are clearly about one project (e.g., we just fixed project audio, we just committed a backend feature), propose that project and its Planner task ID.
  • If there's no clear context, list the open projects from /api/projects and ask which one.
  • If the user passes a name ("pulse-update project-alpha") or a Planner task ID, use that directly.
  • Prefer resolving via <!-- planner:<taskId> --> anchors in ~/CLAUDE.md — they're the deterministic join key.

Step 2: Fetch the current brief

Hit Pulse's GET endpoint to retrieve the current state of the project. Two paths:

Preferred: via authenticated SWA (works when a browser session is available)

curl https://<YOUR_DASHBOARD_DOMAIN>/api/projects

Requires an MSAL session. If we have Playwright already open on a <YOUR_DASHBOARD_DOMAIN> tab, reuse it via browser_evaluate to fetch the JSON.

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.

pulse-update is a command published in the GitHub repository codebloodedai/claude-code-ops-commands (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 2,126 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
