ctx-upgrade

ctx-upgrade is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from opencue/cuecards. It costs 41 tokens per session (306 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An upgrade command for Context Mode, a tool that changes how the coding agent handles context. It pulls the latest version, builds and installs it, updates its global npm package, and configures its hooks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need to upgrade Context Mode from GitHub and check that its installation and hooks are working.
Why use it?
It gathers the upgrade and setup steps in one workflow instead of requiring you to update and configure each part manually.

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

ctx-upgrade 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.

What it actually says

Context Mode Upgrade

Pull latest from GitHub and reinstall the plugin.

Instructions

  1. Call the ctx_upgrade MCP tool directly. It returns a shell command to execute.
  2. Run the returned command using your shell execution tool (Bash, shell_execute, etc.).
  3. Display results as a markdown checklist:
    ## context-mode upgrade
    - [x] Pulled latest from GitHub
    - [x] Built and installed v1.0.39
    - [x] Hooks configured
    - [x] Doctor: all checks PASS
    
    Use [x] for success, [ ] for failure. Show actual version numbers.
  4. Tell the user to restart their session to pick up the new version.
  5. Fallback (only if MCP tool call fails): Derive the plugin root from this skill's base directory (go up 2 levels, remove /skills/ctx-upgrade), then run with Bash:
    CLI="<PLUGIN_ROOT>/cli.bundle.mjs"; [ ! -f "$CLI" ] && CLI="<PLUGIN_ROOT>/build/cli.js"; node "$CLI" upgrade

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.
