supervisor-update

supervisor-update is a skill for Claude Code from KhaledSaeed18/dotclaude. It costs 75 tokens per session (688 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research progress update or meeting agenda built from your research notes and recent project work. It records evidence, decisions, results, blockers, help needed, and dated next steps in under a page.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a thesis or research meeting to summarise completed work, explain results and delays, and ask for specific decisions or support.
Why use it?
It gives a supervisor the key information quickly, so they can respond to problems and decisions instead of searching through project files.

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

supervisor-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 25d 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Supervisors read updates between other things. The update's job is to let them help in the ten minutes they have: what moved, what is stuck, what decision they need to make. Everything else is noise.

Sources

  1. RESEARCH_LOG.md entries since the last meeting (or the period asked for). The log is the evidence; if it is thin, say so and ask the student what happened.
  2. Git history for the period (git log --since), new files under research/notes/, changed chapters.
  3. The last update or meeting notes, to answer what was promised.

Structure

Subject: Thesis update, 21 Sep 2026

Since 7 Sep:
- Read 6 papers on X (notes in research/notes/); the gap holds: none evaluates Y in setting Z.
- Built the data pipeline (commit a1b2c3d); 412 sessions collected, 9 discarded for missing labels.
- First results: variant B reduces latency 23% (n=10, SD 4%) at all sizes, table attached.

Decided:
- Dropped baseline C: its code does not run on our data format and reimplementing costs two weeks. Comparing against A and D only.

Need from you:
- Is a 23% reduction with n=10 enough for RQ2, or should I run n=30 (adds three days)?
- Ethics amendment for the follow-up survey: can you sign the form (attached) by Thursday?

Next two weeks:
- Run the n=30 sweep if agreed (by 28 Sep).
- Draft results chapter section 4.2 (by 3 Oct).
- Literature synthesis outline for chapter 2 (by 5 Oct).

Open questions carried over: 1 (dataset licence; waiting on the provider since 30 Aug).

Rules

  • Under 250 words for an email; under one page for an agenda.
  • Every progress bullet has evidence: a path, a commit, a number, a note. No "worked on the literature review".
  • Decisions include the reason and what they rule out, so the supervisor can object now, not at the defence.
  • "Need from you" is the most important section and comes before "Next"; each item is a question or a concrete action with a date.
  • Carry over open items until they are resolved, with their age; a supervisor sees a stuck item precisely because it keeps appearing.
  • Match the department's register: formal salutation or not, first name or title, as in previous correspondence.
  • Attach or link, never paste, tables and figures.
  • Run humanize before sending.

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.
