trace-first-starter: Skill for Claude Code

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

tfw-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from saubakirov/trace-first-starter. It costs 45 tokens per session (206 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository command for updating Trace-First Workflow files and their local adapters. Trace-First Workflow is a project framework whose files guide how an agent works in a code repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use /tfw-update for framework upgrades, version checks, migrations, and repairing or resynchronizing supported adapters.
Why use it?
It helps bring the framework up to date while preserving project-specific knowledge and settings, reducing the risk of overwriting local work.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

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

This is saubakirov/trace-first-starter's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on trace-first-starter 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 trace-first-starter configures →

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

tfw-update 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 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.

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

/tfw-update

This repository skill implements the /tfw-update command.

Contract

  • Treat literal /tfw-update input as a command. Also accept tfw-update and matching natural-language requests.
  • Confirm the repository contains .tfw/.
  • Enforce the Coordinator role lock: permit .tfw/ framework/config merges and adapter copies; forbid code changes.
  • Read .tfw/workflows/update.md completely and follow its Read Contract. Root instructions are already active; do not independently preload common files.
  • Preserve project state and customizations; follow every pin, classification, adapter, verification, briefing, cleanup, and hard-stop gate.

Report framework version status, copied adapters, preserved state, and manual merge risks.

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.
