status-update-writing

status-update-writing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CodeInfinity1/Stram. It costs 31 tokens per session (537 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing workflow for turning verified task evidence into short project updates, summaries, handoff notes, and progress reports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing standup updates, daily summaries, handoff notes, and evidence-based project reports.
Why use it?
It prevents status messages from becoming vague or overstating what was completed. It also makes blockers, unfinished work, and next steps easy to spot.

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-writing 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.

Status Update Writing

Purpose

Turn work state into compact updates the user and collaborators can scan quickly. The preferred shape is blocker-first, evidence-backed, and clear about what is done, pending, blocked, and next.

When To Use

Use when the user asks for current status, daily update, project update, standup note, handoff, "what changed", "where are we", or a communication-ready progress summary.

Inputs And Evidence

  • Git status, run results, tests, outbox, commitments, notes, and task records.
  • User's target audience and channel.
  • Known blockers, approvals, missing setup, or uncertainty.

Tool Map

  • writing_draft_create
  • writing_draft_inspect
  • cognitive_state
  • cognitive_commitment_status
  • cognitive_interaction_review
  • read_file
  • search_workspace
  • channel_message_prepare
  • write_note

Workflow

  1. Gather current evidence before summarizing.
  2. Lead with blockers or risks when they affect action.
  3. List completed work only when verified by files, tests, commits, or tool results.
  4. Separate "done", "in progress", "blocked", "not started", and "next".
  5. Keep updates short unless the user asks for detailed audit.
  6. Save status drafts with writing_draft_create when the update should be reused or sent later.
  7. Prepare channel-ready versions only after checking audience and approval needs.

Native Implementation Boundaries

  • Use Stram state, file, channel, and cognition tools.
  • Do not rely on upstream status templates as runtime dependencies.
  • Do not use keyword matching to decide which updates matter; let model-led review rank relevance from evidence.

Safety And Approval

  • Do not claim completion without verification.
  • Do not expose private local paths or secrets in team updates unless necessary and approved.
  • Mark uncertainty plainly.

Verification

  • Each status claim should have a file, test, run, commit, or state record behind it.
  • Channel drafts should be in outbox or clearly unsent.
  • If evidence is missing, say what was not verified.

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.
