team-update

team-update is a skill for Claude Code from jezweb/claude-skills. It costs 94 tokens per session (2,245 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow for posting project updates to team chat, collecting replies, sorting feedback, and planning follow-up work. On its first run it records the team's preferred tools and communication rules in an editable playbook.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for standups, project-status messages, team syncs, feedback triage, and turning responses into next steps across available chat, Git, issue, or task tools.
Why use it?
It gives recurring updates a consistent process and preserves choices about channels, writing style, and feedback handling. Later runs can use the saved playbook instead of rediscovering those choices.

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 5
    Skill grants unrestricted tool access without appropriate constraints. An agent with unfettered tool access can perform arbitrary actions including file modification, network requests, and code execution.
    Fix: Restrict tool access to only the tools required for the skill's stated purpose. Use an explicit allowlist rather than granting blanket access.

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 B, and why

team-update scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 252 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Team Update

Post project updates to team chat, read and triage feedback, and plan next steps. Adapts to whatever communication and project tools are available.

The Playbook Pattern

This skill uses a playbook file at .claude/team-update-playbook.md in the project root.

  • First run: Discover available tools, ask the user for preferences, execute, save a playbook
  • Subsequent runs: Read the playbook, skip discovery, execute directly
  • User edits playbook: Changes take effect immediately (channel, style, triage rules)

The playbook is plain markdown the user can edit. It captures tool configuration, channel preferences, message style, triage rules, and last-run metadata.


Phase 0: Playbook Check

Check if .claude/team-update-playbook.md exists in the project root.

If it exists: Read it. All tool configuration, channel info, message style, and triage rules are in there. Jump to Phase 1 with known config.

If it does not exist: Run Phase 0b (Discovery) first.


Phase 0b: Discovery (First Run Only)

Detect available capabilities by checking what MCP tools are connected and what local tools exist.

Read references/discovery-patterns.md for detection patterns.

Capability Detection

Check for each capability category:

Capability How to detect Fallback if missing
Chat MCP tools matching chat, slack, discord, teams Output formatted text for manual posting
Git git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree Skip commit summaries
Issues MCP tools matching github, linear, jira Skip or output text list
Tasks MCP tools matching tasks, todos, asana Skip or output text list
Knowledge Basalt Cortex (~/Documents/basalt-cortex/) Search for related knowledge notes

User Preferences (Ask)

After discovery, ask the user to confirm:

  1. Channel: Which chat space/channel to post updates to? (List discovered options)
  2. Identity: Post as yourself or a bot identity? (e.g. Anthro Morphic)
  3. Repo scope: Which repo(s) to track? (Default: current repo)
  4. Message style: Brief standup, detailed changelog, or conversational update?
  5. Team context: Any team members to be aware of? (Names, roles)
  6. Triage rules: Any custom rules for handling feedback? (Or use defaults)

What ships with it

Changes

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.
