update-docs

update-docs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from escapeboy/ai-prompts. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,366 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation-refresh workflow that searches the web for current Claude API, model, pricing, and framework information, then compares it with existing documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update Claude-related documentation and configuration after API changes or during a freshness review. Internal issues such as dead links or inconsistent versions belong to a separate content review.
Why use it?
It helps prevent prompts, settings, and configuration notes from becoming inaccurate after external product changes.

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-docs 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 5d 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 — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/update-docs — Documentation Updater

Keeps your Claude Code configuration documentation current with the latest Claude API changes, best practices, and framework updates. Searches the web, compares findings to existing docs, and applies targeted updates.

Especially useful for keeping ~/.claude/ system prompts, skill files, and project memories accurate after Claude API updates.

Scope: /update-docs handles external freshness — API / model / pricing / beta-header drift sourced from the web. For internal consistency (dead links, README↔CHANGELOG version parity, terminology, stray Cyrillic, privacy leaks) use /content-review instead. The two are complementary, not overlapping — don't duplicate content-review's checks here.


When to Use This Skill (and When NOT to)

Use this skill for Use a simpler approach for
Refreshing docs after a Claude API / model / pricing / beta-header change Fixing a single known-stale value you already have the correct source for — just edit it
A periodic sweep for staleness across ~/.claude/, skills, or memories Internal-consistency issues (dead links, version parity, terminology) → /content-review
Comparing live web/authoritative facts against what the docs currently claim A fact you can confirm from the bundled claude-api skill in one read — read it and edit
A multi-file update that must stay in sync (frontmatter + config + compat lines + pricing tables) A one-line typo or wording tweak with no external source to verify

Start simple. Reach for this skill only when the update depends on external freshness you have to research, or spans enough files that a systematic research → analyze → update pass beats hand-editing.

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.
