keel-update

keel-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from muratsilahtaroglu/claude-code-starter-kit. It costs 68 tokens per session (2,008 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A controlled update process for bringing improvements from the latest Keel starter-kit template into the current project. It reviews changes in groups and applies only explicitly approved parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review and selectively apply template updates such as hooks, documentation fixes, and workflow changes.
Why use it?
It helps update project tooling while protecting project-owned code, documentation, and memory files from unwanted changes.

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

keel-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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/keel-update — sync this project with the latest Keel template

Use when the kit was cloned a while ago and the template has since improved (hardened hooks, doc fixes, workflow updates). Pull model: run it IN the project, review diffs, approve. Non-destructive is the hard rule (same spirit as /keel-adopt): nothing is applied without a shown diff + an explicit yes.

One channel: the kit is clone-only (the plugin/marketplace half was retired in v0.8.23 — it delivered only the tooling, double-fired hooks alongside a clone, and needed marketplace access that locked-down networks block). Everything therefore syncs HERE, through the buckets below. If a project still has keel@keel installed from before, removing it is the fix for double-firing hooks.

1. Fetch the latest template (never inside the project)

rm -rf /tmp/keel-latest   # idempotent — clear the stale clone a previous /keel-update run left behind
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/muratsilahtaroglu/claude-code-starter-kit /tmp/keel-latest
git -C /tmp/keel-latest rev-parse --short HEAD   # record for the handover line

2. Classify every template path into three buckets

  • PROTECTED — never touched (project-owned): HANDOVER.md · LESSONS.md · TASKS.md · PLAN.md · docs/handover-archive.md · docs/lessons-retired.md · docs/architecture.md · docs/adr/* (except the kit-owned 0000 template and the folder README.md — those are TOOLING) · CLAUDE.md · README.md · LICENSE · config/ · requirements/*.{txt,lock} contents · .env.example values · src/ · tests/ (except the kit-owned tests/unit/test_keel_*.py matrix — that is TOOLING, same carve-out as the ADR 0000 template; never put project tests in a test_keel_*.py file) · scratch/ · research/ findings · reports/ · .claude/last-audit · .claude/project-owner · .claude/keel-caps · .claude/lessons-backlog · .claude/tasks-backlog (project state: audit clock + governance owner + tuned caps + entry-budget baseline) · .claude/agents/team-*.md (project agent-team charters, owner-authored — the kit ships none; .claude/agent-team-sessions is git-ignored and never syncs).
  • REVIEW — likely tailored; full diff, apply hunk-by-hunk with approval: rules.md · .claude/settings.json (permissions merge = union, keep the project's) · .gitignore · .pre-commit-config.yaml · pyproject.toml · Makefile · Dockerfile* · .dockerignore · docker-compose.yml · .editorconfig · .github/* (workflows + PR template) · docs/layouts.md · docs/user_manual.md · folder READMEs that carry KIT DOCTRINE inside a PROTECTED treescratch/README.md, tests/README.md, tests/*/README.md: the folder's CONTENTS are the project's, but the README states the kit's rule for that folder and projects tailor it, so it is diffed hunk-by-hunk rather than skipped with the tree (without this the scratch-as-evidence rule of v0.8.25 could never reach an adopted project).
  • TOOLING — template-owned; summarize changes, one approval for the batch: .claude/skills/** · .claude/hooks/** · .claude/agents/{researcher,verifier,auditor,README}.md · .claude/rules/README.md (+ example) · tests/unit/test_keel_*.py · docs/security.md · docs/steering.md · docs/adr/0000-adr-template.md · docs/adr/README.md · docs/assets/ · CONTRIBUTING.md (kit-meta by its own first line) · folder README.mds.

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.
