update-tracker

update-tracker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BostonOrange/claude-code-framework. It costs 37 tokens per session (545 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that sends local work-item documentation back to a tracker. It maps story, acceptance, test, and deployment information from files such as story.md and how-to-test.md to tracker fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after developing or refining a ticket to find its local documents, compare versions, resolve differences with approval, and update the tracker.
Why use it?
It prevents documentation and tracker tickets from drifting apart. It also checks for newer tracker changes before overwriting them.

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-tracker 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 1mo 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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update Tracker

Push local story documentation back to the work item tracker.

Usage

/update-tracker TICKET-1234
/update-tracker 1234

Field Mapping

Tracker Field Source
Description story.md (User Story, Background, Business Rules, Dependencies)
Acceptance Criteria story.md ## Acceptance Criteria section
Test Instructions how-to-test.md
Deployment Notes story.md ## Technical Specification + manual-steps.md

Process

Step 1: Parse Input & Locate Docs

Verify local docs exist at docs/stories/TICKET-{id}/:

  • story.md (required)
  • how-to-test.md (optional)
  • manual-steps.md (optional)

Step 2: Check Ticket Exists

{{TRACKER_FETCH_TICKET}}

If doesn't exist → create it first, then continue. If exists → extract current field values and last modified timestamp.

Step 3: Sync Check

Before overwriting, compare tracker content with local docs:

  1. Compare last modified timestamps
  2. If tracker is newer, diff both versions field by field
  3. Propose merged version incorporating both sides
  4. Get user approval before pushing

Step 4: Parse story.md into Sections

Split story.md into parts based on section headers:

  1. Description — everything through Dependencies and Out of Scope
  2. Acceptance Criteria — the ACs section
  3. Technical Specification — the tech spec section

Step 5: Build & Push Update

{{TRACKER_UPDATE_FIELDS}}

Step 6: Confirm

After successful update:

  1. Confirm success with revision info
  2. Provide direct link to ticket
  3. Clean up temp files

Edge Cases

Scenario Behavior
story.md missing Stop — required
how-to-test.md missing Skip test field update
manual-steps.md missing Deployment notes = tech spec only
Tracker updated after local docs Warn, show diff, offer merge
Auth not configured Prompt user

  • /draft-story — draft new stories

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.
