ai-sdlc-workflow: Command for Claude Code

.cursor/commands/skill-update.md

skill-update is a command for Claude Code, Cursor from phuoctrung-ppt/ai-sdlc-workflow. It costs 35 tokens per session (352 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that runs a full review of project retrospectives to look for repeated lessons and propose updates to the project's skills and memory files. A retrospective is a record of what went well, went wrong, or was learned during earlier work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after project work when you want to inspect retrospectives, record durable decisions or gotchas, and prepare a skill-update proposal.
Why use it?
It turns recurring lessons into proposed guidance instead of leaving them buried in past notes. Proposed skill changes remain subject to approval before they are applied.

Command for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Cursor and Claude Code: installed under .cursor/, but also a Claude Code command (commands/*.md).

This is phuoctrung-ppt/ai-sdlc-workflow's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Cursor how to work on ai-sdlc-workflow itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-sdlc-workflow configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 .cursor/context/context-builder.py \.

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

skill-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 1mo 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

Skill Update (Learning Layer)

Act as Orchestrator. Dispatch the learning loop (does not implement product features).

Do not open .cursor/state/** or .aisdlc/*.json.

Steps

  1. Ensure Memory layer files exist:

    • docs/retrospective.md
    • docs/memory/decisions.md, gotchas.md, shortcuts.md
  2. Dispatch @learning-agent with an explicit full pass:

python3 .cursor/context/context-builder.py \
  --phase review \
  --task "skill update full pass from retrospective" \
  --agent learning-agent \
  --keywords "retrospective,pattern,skill,learning,gotcha,shortcut" \
  --budget 5000
  1. Agent must follow skill skill-updater:

    • Identify patterns from retrospective (≥2 signals)
    • Write proposal to docs/reviews/YYYY-MM-DD-skill-update-proposal.md or report no pattern
    • Update memory files when facts are durable
    • Do not apply SKILL.md patches until you approve
  2. Present proposal to human/orchestrator:

    • Approve → agent applies patch, marks APPLIED
    • Reject → leave PENDING or close with reason

Notes

  • This command is the explicit full Learning entrypoint.
  • /dev-module Phase 6 only does lightweight distillation + a short learning-agent scan.
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.
