A project-update helper that checks for a newer version of the Scientific Writing Kit and can apply it. It limits changes to files listed by the kit, leaving your work and personal add-ons alone.

Use it to check for updates, review what changed, and install a selected kit version after saving first if needed.

It helps keep the kit current without replacing your documents, data, or custom settings. It also warns when kit files have unsaved changes or when an update removes a changed file.

Per session 35 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00035	$0.00562
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00225
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00112
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00056

Measured 26d ago against content hash b3054515f4e6, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

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 26d 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.

What it actually says

/update: Neue Kit-Version holen

Wichtig: Ersetzt oder entfernt nur Dateien, die in .claude/kit/manifest.json (alt oder neu) stehen. Nie berührt werden: kapitel/, quellen/, daten/, abbildungen/, code/, .arbeit/ (auch .arbeit/latex/eigene-*), .lokal/, eigene Skills unter .claude/skills/, .claude/settings.local.json.

Ablauf

node .claude/kit/werkzeuge/update.mjs --check --json.
code 0: „Dein Kit ist aktuell (Version x).“ Fertig, kein Interview.
code 2 (Update verfügbar): changelog in zwei bis vier Sätzen einfach zusammenfassen (was wird besser, was ändert sich in der Bedienung). Steht unter entfernt eine Datei, die die Person verändert hat, darauf hinweisen. Interview „Update auf Version y übernehmen?“: „Ja, jetzt (Empfohlen)“, „Erst sichern (/sync), dann updaten“, „Später“.
Bei Ja: node .claude/kit/werkzeuge/update.mjs --json.
- code 4: ungesicherte Änderungen in Kit-Dateien. Erklären, /sync vorschlagen.
- code 0: melden. „Neue oder geänderte Befehle wirken nach einem Neustart von Claude.“ Betrifft es das Dashboard: node .claude/kit/dashboard/server.mjs --stoppen, dann --starten.
- code 1: einfach erklären, nichts wurde verändert.
Interview: „Hochladen mit /sync (Empfohlen)“, „Weiterarbeiten“, „Rückgängig machen“ (dann git log -3 --oneline ansehen und jeden Eintrag „Kit-Update“ bzw. „Kit-Manifest“ mit git revert --no-edit <id> zurücknehmen, neuester zuerst).

Hinweise

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.

update is a skill published in the GitHub repository koljaschoepe/scientific-writing (13 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 562 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-01.
