update-backlog

update-backlog is a command for Claude Code from Hundia/autospec. It costs 0 tokens per session (800 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for maintaining a software project's backlog, which is the list of planned, active, blocked, and completed work. It can update tickets, add new work, report bugs, attach notes, and link documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to mark tickets as started or finished, add sprint tasks, report bugs, record requirements, and connect tickets to documentation.
Why use it?
It keeps work records in sync without manually editing the backlog file. Standard status shortcuts make ticket updates consistent.

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-backlog 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 3d 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 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.
