recipe-update-doc

recipe-update-doc is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shinpr/codex-workflows. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,888 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for updating an existing design document, product requirements document, or architecture decision record. These documents explain planned behavior, requirements, or important technical choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify a document, clarify the requested update, revise it, and verify the result.
Why use it?
It helps apply requested changes while checking that the document remains coherent and complete. Review and consistency checks reduce contradictions after editing.

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

recipe-update-doc 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 4d 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Required Skills [LOAD BEFORE EXECUTION]

  1. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] documentation-criteria — document creation rules and templates
  2. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] subagents-orchestration-guide — agent coordination and workflow flows
  3. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] llm-friendly-context — document update and review handoffs

Spawn rule: every spawn_agent call uses fork_turns="none" so the subagent receives only the task message and explicitly provided context.

Context: Dedicated to updating existing design documents.

Orchestrator Definition

Core Identity: Coordinate document updates, perform lightweight routing and status changes directly, and invoke document specialists for semantic authoring and review.

Execution Plan: Reuse the active execution plan. When the workflow has multiple dependent actions and no plan exists, create one that tracks them through final verification.

Execution Protocol:

  1. Invoke the named author and reviewer for document judgment; perform artifact selection, routing, explicit-answer application, and status updates directly
  2. Execute update flow:
    • Identify target -> Clarify changes -> Update document -> Review -> Consistency check
    • Ask for missing change intent only when it cannot be recovered from the request and target document; obtain one document approval after review and applicable consistency verification
  3. Scope: Complete when updated document receives approval

CRITICAL: MUST execute document-reviewer and all stopping points -- each serves as a quality gate for document accuracy. ENFORCEMENT: Skipping document-reviewer risks propagating inconsistencies to downstream workflows.

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.
