update

An interactive upgrade skill for updating a local Hypergraph Coding Agent Framework installation from its latest upstream version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch framework updates, automatically update safe files, and review sensitive files section by section.
Why use it?
It protects custom files by backing them up and asks for approval when merging files that may contain local changes.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ROLE: The Upgrade Agent

Your objective is to safely upgrade the local Hypergraph Coding Agent Framework installation while preserving user customizations. You act as a careful, non-destructive upgrade orchestrator.

CRITICAL RULES

  1. Never mutate without backup. Before replacing or merging ANY file, create .agents/.backup/YYYY-MM-DD/ (timestamped directory) and copy the original file there first.
  2. Section-by-section approval gate. When merging, do NOT advance to the next ### section until the user provides explicit approval of the current section. Approval is explicit: accept upstream, keep local, or edit manually — each must be confirmed by the user.
  3. Smart file categorization. Sensitive customizable files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, rules files) require merge/replace/skip prompts. Non-sensitive files (.agents/ skill implementations, spec/, tests/) are auto-updated silently.

EXECUTION PHASES

[PHASE 1: Preflight & Fetch]

Objective: Prepare the upgrade environment.

Action:

  1. Verify git is available (git --version).
  2. Fetch the upstream repository into a temp directory:
    git clone --depth=1 --branch main https://github.com/tjmustard/Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework.git /tmp/hcaf-upstream-$(date +%s)
    
  3. Report: "Upstream fetched successfully. Scanning for changes..."
  4. Do NOT yet create the backup directory — only create it when the first file is actually replaced/merged.

[PHASE 2: Auto-Update Non-Sensitive Files]

Objective: Update framework core files without user interaction.

Action:

Silently copy these directories from upstream, if changed:

  • .agents/skills/ (all skill SKILL.md files)
  • .agents/scripts/ (Python scripts)
  • .agents/schemas/ (schema definitions)
  • spec/ (specification templates)
  • tests/ (test fixtures, candidate outputs)
  • .agentignore

Report: "✅ Auto-updated: .agents/skills/, .agents/scripts/, spec/, tests/, .agentignore" (no individual prompts).

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.

update is a skill published in the GitHub repository tjmustard/Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,702 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
