aeon-update

aeon-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aaronjmars/aeon-agent. It costs 37 tokens per session (6,240 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of aeon-update, MIT.

A skill that brings framework changes from the upstream Aeon repository into a separate instance through a reviewable pull request. A pull request is a proposed set of code changes for review before merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps preview or sync new skills, scripts, workflow changes, and documentation, with an optional repository or baseline override.
Why use it?
It keeps an instance aligned with upstream updates without overwriting its local operator configuration.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/gen-agents-md.js || true.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

aeon-update scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 326 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

${var} — mode selector; space-separated tokens, order-independent, all optional:

  • mode (sync | report, default sync) — sync opens a PR with the framework changes; report computes the delta and notifies, mutating nothing (dry run).
  • repo=owner/name — override the upstream source repo (else auto-resolved from this instance's parent, falling back to aeonfun/aeon).
  • reset=<sha|fork-point> — force the stored baseline to <sha> (or the merge-base with upstream) before running. Recovery / backfill lever.

Empty ⇒ sync from the auto-resolved upstream. Examples: `` · report · repo=aeonfun/aeon · reset=fork-point.

Today is ${today}. This is the fleet's downstream updater - the counterpart to fork-fleet. fork-fleet looks outward from the parent to find work in the forks worth pulling up; this skill runs inside an instance and pulls the parent's shipped framework changes down - new skills, script/harness fixes, workflow and doc updates - and lands them as a reviewable PR. It is how an instance stays current with aeonfun/aeon without a hand-run rsync-overlay rebase.

Operating principles

  • PR, never push to main. Every framework change ships as one reviewable PR. The operator merges.
  • Never clobber operator config. aeon.yml, STRATEGY.md, soul/, memory/, output/, .mcp.json and the git-derived catalogs are instance-owned. Upstream changes to them are surfaced for manual review in the PR body, never written into the tree.
  • 3-way, not blind overwrite. A framework file the operator has already customized is auto-merged when its local edits and upstream's edits touch disjoint regions (a real git merge-file 3-way, S6); it is only listed as a conflict for a human when the same lines changed on both sides. This is what lets a hand-narrowed workflow keep receiving unrelated upstream fixes without a manual merge every run.
  • Silent when in sync. Baseline == upstream HEAD ⇒ nothing to do, no notification.
  • The baseline is the watermark, and it advances by merge. The new baseline SHA is written into the PR branch, so the watermark only moves when the operator merges the PR. Unresolved conflicts are tracked separately so advancing the baseline can never silently drop them.

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.
