updating-xport

A skill for handling reports about differences between an add-on and the upstream code or specification it follows. It automatically updates eligible version pins and reports other kinds of drift for human review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process xport.json drift reports, update version pins under their upgrade policy, and record advisory issues involving file forks, feature parity, specifications, or language ports.
Why use it?
It separates mechanical version updates from changes that may alter behavior or require judgment. This reduces unsafe automatic changes to locally modified files or mismatched features.

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

updating-xport scanned grade A 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

updating-xport

The harness at scripts/xport.mts emits JSON reports with severity ∈ {ok, drift, error} per row. This skill consumes that JSON.

Per-kind action policy:

Kind Drift signal Action
version-pin Upstream commits on default ref since pinned SHA Auto-bump per upgrade_policy: track-latest → advance to latest stable tag; major-gate → advance patch/minor only; locked → advisory only
file-fork Upstream file changed since forked_at_sha Advisory - note in PR body; do NOT auto-merge (forks carry local deltas that need human review)
feature-parity Parity score below criticality/10 floor Advisory - note in PR body; human decides implement vs downgrade criticality
spec-conformance Spec submodule moved Advisory - note in PR body; human decides whether to bump spec_version
lang-parity Port divergence / rejected anti-pattern reintroduced Advisory - note in PR body; humans fix the port or update the manifest

The common rule: version-pin is mechanical (safe to auto-apply with track-latest/major-gate policies); everything else is advisory (upstream semantics and local deltas matter, humans decide).

Forbidden:

  • Never auto-edit file-fork, feature-parity, spec-conformance, or lang-parity rows' tracked state
  • Never bump a locked version-pin without human approval
  • Never skip the tag-stability filter
  • Never use npx, pnpm dlx, yarn dlx - use pnpm exec or pnpm run

CI mode (CI=true or GITHUB_ACTIONS): skip per-row test validation (workflow validates at the end); emit advisory summary to $GITHUB_OUTPUT when present.

Interactive mode (default): validate each auto-bump with pnpm test before committing the next.

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.

updating-xport is a skill published in the GitHub repository SocketDev/sauce (2 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 2,421 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
