update

update is a command for Claude Code from ruvnet/ruv-FANN. It costs 0 tokens per session (497 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for posting progress updates to a claimed GitHub issue, a tracked work item in a code repository. It verifies that the requester owns the claimed task and records the update on GitHub.

In plain words
What is it for?
Post formatted updates to an issue, mark work as completed or in progress, report pending or blocked tasks, and flag problems.
Why use it?
When several people or agents work on related issues, others may not know what is finished, pending, or blocked. This keeps progress and activity visible in the issue.

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 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 12d 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

/github update

Posts a progress update to a claimed GitHub issue, keeping other swarms informed of your progress.

Usage

/github update <issue_number> <message>

Arguments

  • <issue_number> - The issue you're updating (required)
  • <message> - Progress update message (required)

Examples

/github update 45 "Completed memory analysis, found 3 leak sources"
/github update 45 "50% done - implemented fixes, testing now"
/github update 45 "Blocked by #52, waiting for neural agent fixes"

Progress Indicators

Use these prefixes for clarity:

  • - Completed items
  • 🔄 - In progress
  • - Pending
  • - Blocked
  • ⚠️ - Issues found

Implementation

Uses GitHub MCP to:

  1. Verify you own the claimed task
  2. Post formatted comment with progress
  3. Update last activity timestamp
  4. Check for staleness warnings

Example Interactions

Simple Update

> /github update 45 "Implemented first optimization pass"

📝 Posted update to issue #45

Detailed Update

> /github update 45 "Major progress on memory optimization:
✅ Analyzed memory patterns
✅ Identified 3 leak sources
🔄 Implementing fixes (70% done)
⏳ Tests pending
⏳ Documentation update"

📝 Posted detailed update to issue #45

Blocked Update

> /github update 45 "Blocked: Need PR #52 merged first"

⚠️ Posted blocked status to issue #45
Consider releasing if blocked for long?

Auto-Generated Format

Updates are posted as:

🔄 Progress Update from swarm `<your-id>`:

<your message>

---
Updated at: <timestamp>

Best Practices

  1. Update at least every hour when working
  2. Be specific about what you've done
  3. Mention blockers immediately
  4. Reference related issues/PRs
  5. Give completion estimates
  • /github claim <number> - Claim a task first
  • /github complete <number> - Mark as done
  • /github release <number> - Release if blocked
  • /github my-tasks - See your tasks

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.
