update-docs

update-docs is a command for Claude Code from XRenSiu/claude-code-forge. It costs 0 tokens per session (678 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that updates project documentation to match the current code. It can work on the README, API documentation, code maps, changelogs, or all of them, and can also verify or preview changes without applying them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate API details, update a README, create a code map for a directory, produce a changelog since a Git tag, or check documentation in continuous integration (CI).
Why use it?
It reduces the gap between changing code and updating the documents that explain it. Verification and preview options help find or inspect documentation drift before committing changes.

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-docs 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.

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.
