Install

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.

Per session 29 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 308 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

aicrew-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 yesterday.

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

aicrew-update (Codex)

Use when: aicrew has released new skills or commands and you want to pull them in without overwriting local edits.

Equivalent actions

Method Command
CLI npx aicrew update or aicrew update
Codex skill aicrew-update (this skill)
Claude Code slash /update

Default output

Caveman/lean style. See ~/Agents/agents/caveman.md.

What update does

Same as install — re-merges package skills into ~/Agents/, ~/.claude/skills/, and ~/.codex/skills/.

  • Adds new files that don't exist yet.
  • Skips (keeps) files you've already customized.
  • Re-registers hooks if missing.

Steps (when running in Codex)

  1. Run: npx aicrew update (or aicrew update)
  2. Verify: aicrew status

Note

To evolve project-specific skills, use aicrew-update-skills (or /update-skills in Claude Code) — that generates .ai/skills/ overrides from your repo context.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
