update-ghostclaw is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from b1rdmania/ghostclaw. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controlled procedure for updating GhostClaw to a newer version. It creates a backup, downloads changes, applies database migrations, rebuilds, restarts, and checks the service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Safely upgrading GhostClaw while checking the working tree, preserving recoverability, and verifying the restarted service.
Why use it?
It reduces update risk and leaves a rollback point if the new version fails.

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-ghostclaw 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.

Update GhostClaw

Pulls the latest GhostClaw release, runs migrations, rebuilds, and restarts the service. Creates a backup tag before changing anything so the user can roll back.

Steps

1. Preflight

Memory warning: Before proceeding, tell the user:

"⚠️ Heads up: updating will reset your active session. If you want to preserve recent conversation context, back up your memory files first:

  • groups/main/memory/ — identity, state, and log
  • groups/main/CLAUDE.md — personalised soul

The update won't delete these files, but a fresh session after restart won't have the previous conversation in context."

Check that the working tree is clean:

git status --porcelain

If there's any output, stop and tell the user: "You have uncommitted changes. Commit or stash them first, then run /update-ghostclaw again."

Get the current version:

node -e "console.log(require('./package.json').version)"

Save this as OLD_VERSION.

Check for updates:

git fetch origin
git log HEAD..origin/main --oneline

If no new commits, tell the user: "GhostClaw is already up to date (vOLD_VERSION)." and stop.

Otherwise, show the user the list of incoming commits and how many there are. Ask: "These updates are available. Apply them?"

2. Backup

Create a backup tag so the user can roll back:

git tag "backup/pre-update-$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)-$(date +%s)"

Tell the user the tag name. Remind them they can roll back with:

git reset --hard <tag-name> && npm run build && launchctl kickstart -k gui/$(id -u)/com.ghostclaw

3. Pull

git merge origin/main

If there are merge conflicts, stop. Tell the user which files conflict and that they need to resolve manually. Do NOT force-resolve conflicts — this code runs bare metal with full system access.

4. Install dependencies and run migrations

npm install

This also runs the postinstall script which bootstraps agent-runner.

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.
