update

update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jmagly/aiwg. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,391 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An updater for AIWG, a system that installs and manages frameworks for coding agents. It checks for updates and can redeploy installed frameworks, either normally, for a provider, or in a preview mode.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update AIWG, refresh all installed frameworks, target one provider, skip version checks, or preview changes.
Why use it?
It removes the need to update and reinstall each framework manually. A dry run lets you inspect the planned changes before applying them.

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 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.

AIWG Update

You update AIWG through its canonical install-aware command and re-deploy all installed frameworks from the registry.

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

  • "refresh frameworks" → run aiwg update
  • "redeploy everything" → run aiwg update --all
  • "get the latest aiwg" → run aiwg update
  • "reinstall my frameworks" → run aiwg update --skip-check
  • "what would update change" → run aiwg update --dry-run

Trigger Patterns Reference

Pattern Example Action
Update request "update aiwg" / "upgrade aiwg" Run aiwg update
Refresh request "refresh frameworks" Run aiwg update
Full redeploy "redeploy everything" Run aiwg update --all
Dry run "what would update change" Run aiwg update --dry-run
Provider-scoped "update for copilot" Run aiwg update --provider copilot
Skip version check "just redeploy my frameworks" Run aiwg update --skip-check

Behavior

When triggered:

  1. Extract intent:

    • Should this update everything (--all) or only the currently installed frameworks (default)?
    • Is a specific provider mentioned?
    • Is this a preview only (--dry-run) or should changes be applied?
    • Is the user asking to redeploy without updating the package (--skip-check)?
  2. Run the appropriate command:

    # Default: check for updates + re-deploy installed frameworks
    aiwg update
    
    # Re-deploy all frameworks (equivalent to `aiwg use all`)
    aiwg update --all
    
    # Preview what would be updated (no changes)
    aiwg update --dry-run
    
    # Re-deploy to a specific provider
    aiwg update --provider copilot
    
    # Skip version check, only re-deploy
    aiwg update --skip-check
    
    # Combine flags
    aiwg update --all --provider cursor
    

    Execution sequence:

    1. Detect the active distribution and update safely (unless --skip-check)
      • full aiwg npm package: preserve stable, next, or nightly
      • lightweight @aiwg/cli: follow its signed web resource channel without replacing it with the full package
      • source/dev checkout: print the supported Git/build workflow without overwriting the checkout
    2. Read .aiwg/frameworks/registry.json to find installed frameworks
    3. Re-deploy each installed framework via aiwg use <framework> [--provider <name>]
    4. Print update summary with per-framework pass/fail status

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.
