update

An update command that downloads the newest commands and scripts from a GitHub repository, using the right script type for macOS, Linux, or Windows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check for updates, download a missing update script, and run the update process in a repository.
Why use it?
It avoids manually checking for and downloading updated project tools. It also handles the different file paths and shell commands used by each operating system.

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 8 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,423 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan C 2 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 C, and why

update scanned grade C with 2 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf /tmp/delegate-update /tmp/delegate-update.zip

Update Commands

Download the latest commands and scripts from the delegate repo.

Steps

0. Detect OS

uname -s 2>/dev/null || echo "Windows"

If the output contains "MINGW", "CYGWIN", "MSYS", or "Windows", this is a Windows environment. Use PowerShell (.ps1) scripts and $env:TEMP paths throughout. Otherwise, use bash (.sh) scripts and /tmp/ paths (existing behavior).

1. Run the update checker

macOS/Linux:

If ops/scripts/check-updates.sh exists, run it:

ops/scripts/check-updates.sh

If it doesn't exist, bootstrap it first:

mkdir -p ops/scripts && curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/derek-larson14/delegate/main/ops/scripts/check-updates.sh -o ops/scripts/check-updates.sh && chmod +x ops/scripts/check-updates.sh && ops/scripts/check-updates.sh

Windows:

If ops/scripts/check-updates.ps1 exists, run it:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ops/scripts/check-updates.ps1

If it doesn't exist, bootstrap it first:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path ops/scripts -Force | Out-Null; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/derek-larson14/delegate/main/ops/scripts/check-updates.ps1' -OutFile 'ops/scripts/check-updates.ps1' -UseBasicParsing; & './ops/scripts/check-updates.ps1'"

If the script says "Everything is up to date" — you're done, skip to cleanup.

If no CHANGED/NEW/LOCAL ONLY items appear, everything is up to date - skip to cleanup.

LOCAL ONLY items exist locally but not upstream - either custom local files or deleted from repo. Mention these in the summary.

2. Review command changes

For CHANGED files: Show the diff to understand what changed.

macOS/Linux:

diff -u ".claude/commands/<name>" "/tmp/delegate-update/delegate-main/.claude/commands/<name>"

Windows — use the extracted path under $env:TEMP:

powershell.exe -Command "Compare-Object (Get-Content '.claude/commands/<name>') (Get-Content (Join-Path $env:TEMP 'delegate-update/delegate-main/.claude/commands/<name>'))"

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.

update is a command published in the GitHub repository derek-larson14/delegate (39 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 1,423 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
