clone-update

clone-update is a command for coding agents from Varalix-Digitech-Solutions/clone-team. It costs 53 tokens per session (883 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A version-checking command for the clone-team add-on, which helps determine whether its installed copy needs updating.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare the installed clone-team version with the latest release and receive the appropriate update instructions.
Why use it?
It avoids updating the add-on in the wrong way, such as overwriting a copy managed by a plugin system. It also leaves a project's saved run data and credentials alone.

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.

npx agentmods add commands/varalix-digitech-solutions/clone-team/clone-update
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Varalix-Digitech-Solutions/clone-team

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

clone-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Check the installed clone-team version against the latest release and update it the correct way for how it was installed. This is a version-aware advisor, not a blind git pull — overwriting a plugin-managed directory or a user's local copy is a footgun, so detect the install type first and route accordingly.

Run-state and credentials are never at risk here: a run's .clone-team/ state and creds.local.json live in the cloned project's directory, not in the skill install dir. Updating the skill does not go near them. Still, never copy over or delete anything under a .clone-team/ path.

1. Find the latest version

Read the canonical version from the default branch on GitHub (no clone needed):

gh api repos/Varalix-Digitech-Solutions/clone-team/contents/.claude-plugin/plugin.json \
  --jq '.content' 2>/dev/null | base64 -d | grep -m1 '"version"'

If gh is unavailable, fetch the same file over HTTPS: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Varalix-Digitech-Solutions/clone-team/main/.claude-plugin/plugin.json. Call this LATEST.

2. Locate the local install and read its version

clone-team is installed in one of two shapes:

  • Plugin — under the Claude Code plugins dir (e.g. ~/.claude/plugins/**/clone-team/, alongside a .claude-plugin/plugin.json).
  • Manual — the skill copied to ~/.claude/skills/clone-team/ (often without the repo root, so .claude-plugin/plugin.json may be absent).

Find it, then read its version from the nearest .claude-plugin/plugin.json if present. If no manifest is present (a bare manual copy), say the local version is unknown rather than guessing. Call this LOCAL.

3. Report status

Always tell the user plainly: LOCAL vs LATEST, and whether they're up to date, behind, or unknown. Link the changelog: https://github.com/Varalix-Digitech-Solutions/clone-team/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md. If LOCAL == LATEST, stop here — nothing to do.

4. Route the update by install type

Plugin install → defer to the plugin manager. Do NOT mutate files. Tell the user their install auto-updates through Claude Code's plugin system and to update via the /plugin interface (manage the clone-team marketplace/plugin there). A manual file copy into a plugin-managed directory will be reverted by the manager and can corrupt its state — so don't do it.

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.
