update-compatibility

A documentation checker that refreshes one vendor's section of a compatibility table for Claude, Codex or Cursor.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps research a named vendor, detect missing coverage and update the relevant compatibility documentation.
Why use it?
It identifies when the table no longer matches an upstream tool's flags or commands after a release or code change.

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-compatibility 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 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.

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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

update-compatibility

Refreshes one vendor's section of COMPATIBILITY.md. Replaces the per-vendor research-{claude,codex,cursor}-coverage skills that came before — shared conventions live here once; per-vendor source URLs, probing recipes, and matrix templates live under vendors/<name>/.

Vendor dispatch

The trigger phrase names the vendor. Examples:

Phrase Vendor arg
"research codex" / "update codex compat" / "codex drift" codex
"research claude" / "sync claude compatibility" claude
"research cursor" / "update cursor compat" cursor
"compat drift" (vendor unclear) ask the user

When the vendor is unambiguous, proceed without asking. When ambiguous, ask: "Which vendor — claude, codex, or cursor?"

When to invoke

  • A new upstream version is released.
  • task dumpcli:<vendor> exits non-zero (flag drift detected). Today: dumpcli:claude and dumpcli:codex exist; dumpcli:cursor lands with the cursor adapter wiring.
  • A contributor adds a new flag or command to the vendor stub and the matrix row is missing.
  • Periodic coverage check (recommended: after each upstream minor-release series).

Workflow

  1. Resolve the vendor argument from the trigger (or ask).
  2. Read vendors/<vendor>/sources.md for the authoritative source URLs and local probing recipes.
  3. Run the local probes (subcommand --help dumps, dumpcli:<vendor> tasks).
  4. Fetch each documented page in sources.md. Tolerate one retry per JS-rendered page; mark TODO: source on a stubborn fetch and continue rather than guess.
  5. Cross-reference against the current ## <Vendor> section in COMPATIBILITY.md — keep unchanged rows; add new rows for new features; mark removed rows as removed (or delete if no orchestrator likely depends on them).
  6. Emit the updated section using vendors/<vendor>/template.md as the skeleton. Keep the other vendors' sections in COMPATIBILITY.md untouched.
  7. Run task dumpcli:<vendor> (where available) to regenerate the contract artifact; commit both COMPATIBILITY.md and the regenerated compat/<vendor>.cli.txt.

What ships with it

6 files 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.
