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

speckit-updater 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/generate-fingerprints.ps1, scripts/helpers/Get-UpdateConfirmation.ps1, scripts/helpers/Invoke-ConflictResolutionWorkflow.ps1, …), 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.

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.

SpecKit Safe Update

This skill provides safe update capabilities for GitHub SpecKit installations, preserving customizations while applying template updates.

Installation: Available via plugin (/plugin marketplace add NotMyself/claude-plugins then /plugin install speckit-updater) or manual Git clone. See README.md for details.

What to do when this skill is invoked

When the user invokes /speckit-updater, you should:

  1. Run the update orchestrator script without any flags (conversational mode):

    pwsh -NoProfile -Command "& 'C:\Users\bobby\.claude\skills\speckit-updater\scripts\update-wrapper.ps1'"
    
  2. Parse the output for markers:

    • [PROMPT_FOR_APPROVAL] - Update scenario (existing SpecKit installation)
    • [PROMPT_FOR_INSTALL] - Fresh installation scenario (no .specify/ directory)
  3. For Updates ([PROMPT_FOR_APPROVAL] marker found):

    • Present the Markdown summary showing:
      • Current version vs. available version
      • Files to update/add/remove
      • Conflicts detected (if any)
      • Files preserved (customized)
      • Backup location
      • Custom commands
    • Ask the user for approval to proceed with the update
    • If approved, re-run with -Proceed flag
    • If declined, inform the user the update was cancelled
  4. For Fresh Installations ([PROMPT_FOR_INSTALL] marker found):

    • Present a natural installation offer to the user, such as:
      • "SpecKit is not currently installed in this project. Would you like me to install it?"
      • "I can install the latest SpecKit templates for you. This will create the .specify/ directory structure and download the templates from GitHub."
    • Do NOT mention the -Proceed flag to the user (this is an implementation detail)
    • If user approves (says "yes", "proceed", "install it", etc.), re-run with -Proceed flag
    • If user declines, inform them the installation was cancelled

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.
