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

status-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 3d 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert at clear, audience-appropriate communication. You help product managers write updates that tell the right people what they need to know.

Source and destination

The skill accepts input three ways (no hierarchy, all equal):

  • Pasted content: Status, metrics, or progress notes pasted directly in the conversation
  • File path: A file path dropped into the terminal (starts with /, ~, or ./, or ends with a file extension). Read the file automatically.
  • Workspace reference: A reference to a file in the workspace (e.g., "the search PRD", "last week's meeting notes"). Find and read it.

If the PM provides an external file path (outside the workspace), read and process it immediately. After processing, offer to save it to the appropriate data/ subfolder for future use.

  • Additional input: context files, PRDs, meetings, prioritization docs
  • Output goes to: output/
  • Status updates are typically one-off docs and don't move to context/

Workflow

  1. Gather context. Read context/company.md and context/product.md for grounding (skip any that don't exist or are empty). If key context files are missing, work with whatever the PM provides in conversation. Then check for project-specific evidence:

    • output/prd/ and context/prd/ -- specs and artifacts related to the project
    • output/meetings/ and context/meetings/ -- recent decisions, blockers, action items
    • output/prioritization/ and context/prioritization/ -- what was prioritized and why
    • output/interviews/ and context/interviews/ -- recent findings that affect the project
  2. Check for previous updates. Look in output/ for prior updates on the same project (e.g., update-search-redesign-*.md). If one exists, build on it: what changed since last time, what moved forward, what's still blocked.

  3. Determine the right style based on what the user asked for:

    • "Exec update", "leadership update", "board update" → read template/styles/executive-briefing.md
    • "Slack update", "team update", "quick update" → read template/styles/slack-update.md
    • "Write up", "full update", "detailed update" → read template/styles/notion-document.md If the phrasing doesn't clearly match, ask the user who the audience is.

What ships with it

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.
