cuecards: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/vc-update/SKILL.md

vc:update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from opencue/cuecards. It costs 29 tokens per session (2,107 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

An update tool for pulling newer versions of an agent harness from a remote repository. It first shows a preview of the changes and waits for confirmation before applying them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check for and install improvements after setting up the harness or when a new version is available.
Why use it?
It makes harness updates easier to inspect and reduces the risk of changing project files without your approval.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions Codex.

This is opencue/cuecards's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on cuecards itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything cuecards configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is [ok] .agents/skills -> ../.Codex/skills.

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

vc: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 3d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

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

- If a real directory exists at the path: `rm -rf` it first.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 204 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

vc-update

Pull the latest agent harness improvements from the remote vibecode-pro-max-kit repository into the current project.

When to Use

  • After being told a new harness version is available
  • Periodically to check for updates
  • After bootstrapping a project with vc-setup and wanting the latest improvements

Workflow

Follow these steps exactly. Do NOT skip the dry-run or confirmation step.

Step 1: Check Worktree Status

Run git status --porcelain in the project root.

  • If output is non-empty: warn the user that they have uncommitted changes and suggest git stash or committing first. Do not block -- continue after warning.
  • If output is empty: proceed silently.

Step 2: Read Current Version

Read the file .vc-version in the project root.

  • If it exists: store its contents as currentVersion (a semver string like 2.0.4).
  • If it does not exist: set currentVersion to "0.0.0" (treat as first update).

Step 3: Clone Remote Repository

TMPDIR="/tmp/vc-update-$(date +%s)"
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/withkynam/vibecode-pro-max-kit.git "$TMPDIR"

If the clone fails (network error, auth error, repo not found):

  • Print the error message.
  • Clean up the temp directory if it was partially created.
  • Stop. Do not proceed.

Step 4: Resolve Remote Manifest

Run the resolver script from the cloned repo:

node "$TMPDIR/resolve-manifest.mjs" --root "$TMPDIR" --json

Parse the JSON output to extract:

  • files (string[]) -- resolved managed file paths
  • merge (string[]) -- files where user customizations are preserved (not overwritten)
  • copyIfMissing (string[]) -- files only installed if they don't already exist locally
  • strip (string[]) -- files needing content stripping (informational)
  • symlinks (object) -- symlink path -> target mappings

Extract the remote version from the manifest:

node -e "console.log(JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('$TMPDIR/vc-manifest.json','utf8')).version)"

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.

vc:update is a skill published in the GitHub repository opencue/cuecards (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 2,107 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
