What Update Scaffold is

Update Scaffold is a slash command published in the myICOR/myPKA repository on GitHub, which has about 303 stars. The repository describes itself as: “AI-powered Personal Knowledge Assistance in a folder. Built on the ICOR methodology. Plain markdown. Any LLM. Yours forever.”

A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.

Update Scaffold gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.

How to install Update Scaffold

Claude Code

Download README.md from the repository.
Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
Run it by typing / followed by its name.

Claude Cowork

Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

Inside the source file

An excerpt from README.md, shared under the repository's CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. Read the full file on GitHub.

An AI team with clear roles, shared instructions and memory across sessions. It already knows ICOR. Open it in Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or Cursor.

> Coming from myPKA v5? 6.0.0 has a new shape. It doesn't update your v5 folder, and nothing forces you to move. Your v5 folder keeps working, and v5.5.2 stays downloadable from its release page. When you're ready, follow MIGRATING-FROM-5.md, step by step.

What myPKA is

myPKA (My Personal Knowledge Assistance) is the architecture for an AI team that works with you. This repository is a ready-made team built on it: the agents, their contracts, the procedures they follow and the scripts that check their work.

ICOR is the methodology: how you take things in, keep them under control, turn them into output and refine the loop.
ICOR for Life is where you put ICOR into practice. It works fully without AI.
myPKA is the AI team you add when you want help. It works on your ICOR for Life folder.

The team gives your AI better context, a clear job for every agent, procedures it can repeat and a record of what happened last session. It doesn't make the model smarter, and it doesn't make every answer right. You stay in charge, and you review the work.

The team

You talk to Larry, the orchestrator. He hands each job to the right specialist and brings the result back. Ten specialists work with him, from Penn, who files your notes and your journal, to Nolan, who hires a new specialist when a job has no owner. The full team, with every job, is in README-myPKA.md.

Works with your AI

AGENTS.md is the one entry file, for every host.

Get started

Download mypka.zip from the latest release.
Check that it's genuine with the GitHub CLI. Put your version in place of , as one line:

   gh attestation verify mypka-<version>.zip --repo myICOR/myPKA --signer-workflow myICOR/myPKA/.github/workflows/release-mypka.yml --source-ref refs/tags/v<version> --deny-self-hosted-runners

Continue only if it prints that verification succeeded. mypka.zip is the same bytes and checks with the same command.

Choose where it lives:

Mode A, inside your ICOR for Life folder. One folder holds both. The two products share no file names, so neither overwrites the other. No extra setup.
Mode B, in its own folder next to your ICOR for Life folder. You copy one file, .mypka/sources.yaml, that tells the team where your content is.

Open the folder in your AI and say hello to Larry.

The full steps, including mode B and moving from ICOR for Life 1.34, are in README-myPKA.md. That file also ships inside the download.

Today the team works on an ICOR for Life folder on your own disk. Coming: connecting myPKA to an ICOR for Life setup in Notion or Tana. No connector ships in 6.0.0.

Updating

From the folder that holds AGENTS.md:

python3 "06 AI Team/AI Team Knowledge/Scripts/mypka-update.py" --release ~/Downloads/mypka-<version>.zip

That's a dry run: it prints the plan and writes nothing. Read it, then run the same command with --live to apply it. The updater never deletes a file, and it never overwrites a file you edited: our new version lands beside yours as .update.

Before you install

Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
