topo-update

topo-update is a command for coding agents from KeithWhatling/ToPO. It costs 42 tokens per session (925 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for adding, changing, or removing a component in a project's TOPO map. It updates related dependencies, cross-references, parity records, and the Mermaid diagram—a text-based dependency graph.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add, modify, or remove data entities, server or client logic, APIs, functions, background processes, interface controls, configuration patterns, or integrations.
Why use it?
Manually updating every related part of an architecture map can leave mismatched references behind. This coordinates the linked updates for one component change.

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

topo-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.

/topo-update $ARGUMENTS

Parse arguments as: Action ComponentType ComponentName

  • Action: add | modify | remove
  • ComponentType: DE | SL | CL | API | SF | BP | UC | CFG | IB
  • ComponentName: the identifier or display name

Examples:

  • /topo-update add DE contoso_projecttask
  • /topo-update add SL ValidateProjectBudget
  • /topo-update modify CL OnFormLoad
  • /topo-update remove BP Order - On Create - Notify ERP
  • /topo-update add IB PaymentGateway

Step 1: Load the Map

Read docs/solution-map.topo. If missing, instruct user to run /init-project.

Step 2: Route by Action

ADD

  1. Check if a block with this type and name already exists. If yes, ask: did you mean modify?

  2. Determine the correct SOP from docs/topo-standard-operating-procedures.md:

    • DE > SOP-2
    • SL > SOP-3
    • CL > SOP-4
    • API > SOP-5
    • SF > SOP-6
    • BP > SOP-7
    • UC > SOP-8
    • CFG > SOP-9
    • IB > SOP-10
  3. Follow the SOP step-by-step. Prompt the user for required attributes. Pre-fill what you can infer from context (e.g. if you just created a plugin, you know the entity, message, and stage).

  4. Create the block in the correct section (section order per language spec).

  5. Automatic cross-updates:

    • For every depends_on entry: find target block, add this component to its depended_on_by
    • For [SL], [CL], [UC]: update parent [DE] block's server-logic/client-logic/ui-controls list
    • For [CL]: verify parity is set; if not, prompt for it
    • For [API]: update backing [SL] block's depended_on_by
  6. Confirm all changes made (list every block touched).

MODIFY

  1. Find the existing block. If not found, ask: did you mean add?

  2. Show the current block to the user.

  3. Ask what needs to change. Apply changes.

  4. Dependency reconciliation:

    • Compare old depends_on with new depends_on
    • Removed dependencies: remove this component from old target's depended_on_by
    • Added dependencies: add this component to new target's depended_on_by
    • Same for depended_on_by 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.

topo-update is a command published in the GitHub repository KeithWhatling/ToPO (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 925 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
