structured-progress-update

structured-progress-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aiming-lab/MetaClaw. It costs 43 tokens per session (173 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A format for reporting progress on ongoing projects or multi-step tasks. It separates completed work, current work, blockers, and the next action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when giving project updates, summarizing a work session, or explaining what remains before a task is finished.
Why use it?
It makes status updates easier to scan and shows clearly when outside input is needed. It avoids vague reports that do not explain what changed.

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

structured-progress-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.

What it actually says

Structured Progress Update

When reporting on work in progress, use a consistent structure:

Format:

  • Done: List completed items concisely.
  • In progress: What is currently being worked on and expected completion.
  • Blocked: Any items waiting on external input — state exactly what is needed.
  • Next: The immediately next action item.

Principles:

  • Be specific: Completed API integration for /users endpoint not worked on API.
  • Surface blockers proactively — don't wait to be asked.
  • Keep it scannable: bullets over paragraphs.

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.
