work-order-update

work-order-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/cat-agent-skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (550 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A work-order update writer that turns a checked maintenance-triage record into a readable maintenance report. A work order is the record used to describe and manage repair work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare a maintenance work-order update in Markdown or a document format, including the likely failure, urgency, response target, downtime cost, and next action.
Why use it?
It removes the need to assemble the fault, priority, evidence, recommended action, and unresolved issues by hand. The result is marked as a draft for supervisor approval.

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

work-order-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 today.

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

Work-Order Update

Purpose

Produce the human-readable artifact: a work-order update rendered from templates/work-order-update-template.md, populated only from the contract payload — the likely failure mode, the priority, the recommended action, and the open escalations.

When to use

  • After criticality-rank, to close the triage loop.
  • "Draft the work order" / "what should we do?" / "recommend the fix".

Inputs

  • triaged.json (contract mfg.maintenance-triage.v1, the {priority} hop with ranked_causes[], priority{}, recommended_action, escalations[]).

Steps

  1. Validate input against the contract.
  2. Fill templates/work-order-update-template.md: asset identification, symptom summary, ranked likely failure modes with citations, priority + response target + downtime cost, the recommended action, an "Open escalations" block, and the contract payload as an appendix.
  3. Render to the requested format (markdown; DOCX/PDF via the platform document generation component).
  4. Mark the update DRAFT — pending planner/supervisor approval.

Output

WO-<asset_id>-update.md (or .docx) — the terminal artifact of the contract flow.

Grounding requirements

Every failure mode traces to engine:fault_rank; the priority traces to engine:criticality_score; standards references cite rcm-iso55000-excerpts.md.

Constraints

  • Draft-first: no CMMS/EAM write-back and no work is dispatched in v1. The draft is a recommendation, not an executed action.
  • Nothing appears in the work order that is not present in the contract payload.
  • Scope ends at the WO draft; predictive maintenance and PM optimization are out of scope (Wave 3).

Escalation / uncertainty

  • If escalations[] is non-empty, the work order must surface them in a visible "Open escalations" block above the recommended action — especially a recurring-failure or P1 escalation.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
