update-agent-onboarding

update-agent-onboarding is a skill for Claude Code from gustavo-meilus/aiboarding. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,532 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that checks whether recent commits have made a repository's AGENTS.md onboarding file outdated, then updates only the affected sections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after meaningful commits, when a drift-check hook asks for a refresh, or when you want to update AGENTS.md.
Why use it?
It keeps agent guidance aligned with code changes without regenerating the whole document or losing useful existing context.

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-agent-onboarding 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Updating agent onboarding files

Keep AGENTS.md current as the project evolves, without re-grilling the whole repo.

Announce at start: "Using update-agent-onboarding to triage onboarding drift."

Runtime awareness

Works under Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, or any SKILL.md-compatible agent - the triage and patch logic below has no runtime dependency. Claude repo hooks and optional native Codex plugin hooks can nudge; when unavailable, disabled, untrusted, or using copied standalone skills, run this skill manually after meaningful commits.

Managed refresh

For an existing Claude installation, before classification compare the current plugin's templates/hooks/drift-check and templates/tools/classify-drift with their managed copies. If either is missing or differs, replace only those two AIBoarding-owned files, then rerun classification. Do not rewrite config, state, AGENTS.md, or CLAUDE.md. If current plugin assets cannot be located, route to full revalidation. Repeating this refresh is byte-identical and rollback is safe: older readers ignore the optional config and receipt fields.

Triage

Read last_synced_commit from .aiboarding/state.json (NOT from any instruction file - the pointer lives only in the sidecar).

If state.json is missing or the pointer is missing/empty, the repo was never properly synced or the state was lost (fresh clone of a repo where state was gitignored, hand-edited state, or the drift hook fired as a repair signal). Do NOT take the No-op branch - go straight to the Targeted-delta patch for a full re-validation of all nine sections, then reseed state.json.

If the repo has AIBOARDING.md and no AGENTS.md, it is on the legacy layout: stop and run migrate-aiboarding instead.

  1. Classify before reading semantics. Run the self-contained sibling classify-drift --project <repo> --base <last_synced_commit> --head HEAD (or .aiboarding/tools/classify-drift if installed). Missing tool, invalid pointer, malformed report, rebased pointer, or changed HEAD means full revalidation; never advance state from those outcomes. Its routes are unambiguous: irrelevant advances state only; semantic-review needs section evidence; mandatory-revalidation requires applicable section revalidation; and invalid-pointer requires all nine sections. High-risk evidence always wins over ignored paths and cannot be downgraded by a semantic no-op.
  2. Classify scope impact for every potentially relevant path against the AGENTS.md sections:
    • Stack and Runtime / Build, Test, Run - stack, tooling, or commands changed?
    • Architecture Map - boundaries, directories, data flow moved?
    • Project Purpose / Domain Model - new concepts or changed behavior?
    • Agent Guardrails / Known Failure Modes - new gotchas or constraints?
    • Verification Before Completion / Escalation - done-criteria or stop-and-ask cases changed? Record each potential path's applicable sections and rationale. Only complete evidence covering every potential path can authorize --semantic complete-no-op. Semantic review may escalate scope, never hide deterministic high-risk evidence.
  3. Branch: classifier irrelevant, or complete evidenced potential no-op → No-op. Mandatory route → Targeted-delta revalidation. Other routes → full revalidation.

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.
