update-project

update-project is a skill for Claude Code from Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot. It costs 35 tokens per session (615 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for refreshing an existing project-local Codex Copilot setup from a shared framework mirror. It compares framework-owned files by content and preserves files marked as project-owned.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update or repair a project's Codex Copilot wiring, review changed and preserved paths, and keep the project aligned with a pinned framework version.
Why use it?
It updates stale or drifted setup files without overwriting intentional project customisations, and distinguishes updating an existing setup from creating a new one.

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-project 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 6d 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 — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update Project

Refresh project-local Codex Copilot wiring in place.

Workflow

  1. Run scripts/update-project.sh --project <path>. Unless --framework-root is given explicitly, it syncs from the pinned mirror (~/.copilot/mirrors/codex-foundation by default) rather than wherever the framework repo happens to be checked out, so a project is never synced ahead of any released version. It updates an EXISTING install; if the project has never been set up, it exits and points at $setup-project / scripts/setup-project.sh instead.
  2. Every framework-owned file under plugins/codex-copilot/, plus scripts/copilot-gate.sh, is discovered and compared by content (sha256), not by declared version, so new hook assets and drift that does not match a released version are repaired too.
  3. A file marked ownership: project -- via owner: project YAML frontmatter in the file itself, or a copilot.lock.json entry -- is never touched. Confirm the report's "Preserved" section lists exactly the paths a human intentionally customized.
  4. AGENTS.md, SOUL.md, docs/40-initiatives/, .agents/plugins/marketplace.json are never touched by the updater; .codex-copilot.json only has its framework-tracking fields merged (projectName/pluginPath preserved).
  5. Idempotent: run it twice to confirm the second run reports "no changes needed." Use --dry-run to preview without writing.
  6. Validate with cc skill list, cc docs sources, cc memory check --json, and tc progress --json when available.
  7. If optional packs are needed, activate them with scripts/activate-pack.py instead of copying pack files manually.

Output

  • files updated / added / unchanged / preserved / retired (from the script's report)
  • skill symlink and .codex-copilot.json status
  • copilot.lock.json write confirmation
  • idempotence check (second run == no changes needed)

Work Lifecycle

Apply the shared work lifecycle once per task, including direct invocation of this skill: start/resume, maintain, pause/handoff, finish and later reuse. Keep the checkpoint proportional in the existing record; a small answer does not need a new task or document.

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.
