update-site-data

update-site-data is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mr-devs/cc-academic-website. It costs 75 tokens per session (722 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A content-update workflow for an academic website whose sections are filled from JSON files. It covers papers, news, talks, software, projects, teaching, and profile information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a preprint, mark a working paper as published, or add and edit news, talks, software, projects, teaching, and biography details.
Why use it?
It removes the need to guess which file or format controls a page section. It also checks the live website code before changing data.

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-site-data 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 5d 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 — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update Site Data

Manage all website content updates. Every page section is rendered from a JSON file under data/; this skill routes any content change to the right file and workflow.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

If no input is provided or the content type is unclear, ask the user (with AskUserQuestion) which kind of update this is before proceeding.

Ground truth: the code, not this skill

This site may have been redesigned since this skill was written. Before any edit:

  1. Read the target data/*.json file to see the schema actually in use.
  2. If a field's purpose is unclear, read the JS module that renders it (find it by grepping js/ for the data filename or container id).
  3. references/schemas.md documents the schemas as last recorded — if the live data/renderer has diverged from it, trust the code, follow the live schema, and offer to update schemas.md to match.

Routing

Request Action
New preprint / working paper Follow references/add-working-paper.md
Working paper got published Follow references/convert-to-published.md
News item / announcement Follow references/add-news-item.md
Talk, software, ongoing project, teaching entry, profile/bio change, or a direct edit (fixing a typo, updating a URL) Handle inline — see below

Read the routed reference file before acting; do not work from memory of its contents.

Inline workflow (simple files and direct edits)

  1. Read the relevant schema and example in references/schemas.md.
  2. Read the target data/*.json file (this is the ground truth — see above).
  3. Gather any missing required fields from the user (AskUserQuestion for structured choices, plain questions otherwise).
  4. Draft the entry and show it to the user for approval before writing.
  5. Insert newest-first (top of the array, or top of the matching year group) unless the file is ordered otherwise.
  6. Write the file.

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.
