update

update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mihaipora/zorya. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,475 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An update workflow for NanoClaw that fetches changes from its upstream source, the original project repository, and merges them with local changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It fetches upstream changes, handles merge status, preserves local additions, and runs required migrations.
Why use it?
It helps bring in newer NanoClaw code while preserving customizations and installed skills. Uncommitted changes may need to be committed or stashed first.

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 C, and why

update scanned grade C 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch-upstream.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

If cancelled, clean up the temp dir (`rm -rf <TEMP_DIR>`) and stop.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 172 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update NanoClaw

Pull upstream changes and merge them with the user's installation, preserving skills and customizations. Scripts live in .claude/skills/update/scripts/.

Principle: Handle everything automatically. Only pause for user confirmation before applying changes, or when merge conflicts need human judgment.

UX Note: Use AskUserQuestion for all user-facing questions.

1. Pre-flight

Check that the skills system is initialized:

test -d .nanoclaw && echo "INITIALIZED" || echo "NOT_INITIALIZED"

If NOT_INITIALIZED: Run initSkillsSystem() first:

npx tsx -e "import { initNanoclawDir } from './skills-engine/init.js'; initNanoclawDir();"

Check for uncommitted git changes:

git status --porcelain

If there are uncommitted changes: Warn the user: "You have uncommitted changes. It's recommended to commit or stash them before updating. Continue anyway?" Use AskUserQuestion with options: "Continue anyway", "Abort (I'll commit first)". If they abort, stop here.

2. Fetch upstream

Run the fetch script:

./.claude/skills/update/scripts/fetch-upstream.sh

Parse the structured status block between <<< STATUS and STATUS >>> markers. Extract:

  • TEMP_DIR — path to extracted upstream files
  • REMOTE — which git remote was used
  • CURRENT_VERSION — version from local package.json
  • NEW_VERSION — version from upstream package.json
  • STATUS — "success" or "error"

If STATUS=error: Show the error output and stop.

If CURRENT_VERSION equals NEW_VERSION: Tell the user they're already up to date. Ask if they want to force the update anyway (there may be non-version-bumped changes). If no, clean up the temp dir and stop.

3. Preview

Run the preview to show what will change:

npx tsx scripts/update-core.ts --json --preview-only <TEMP_DIR>

This outputs JSON with: currentVersion, newVersion, filesChanged, filesDeleted, conflictRisk, customPatchesAtRisk.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
