rclone_gitannex

rclone_gitannex is a command for coding agents from chaunsin/agent-skills. It costs 11 tokens per session (879 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An rclone subcommand that connects git-annex to an rclone remote through standard input and output. Git-annex manages large files separately from a Git repository, while rclone connects to many storage services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring a git-annex repository to store or retrieve content on an rclone remote. Setup may require a helper link for older git-annex versions.
Why use it?
It allows git-annex to use rclone-supported storage without a separate custom remote implementation. The command is designed for git-annex to call rather than for direct use.

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

rclone_gitannex 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Official documentation: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_gitannex/

rclone gitannex

Speaks with git-annex over stdin/stdout.

Synopsis

Rclone's gitannex subcommand enables git-annex to store and retrieve content from an rclone remote. It is meant to be run by git-annex, not directly by users.

Installation on Linux

  1. Skip this step if your version of git-annex is 10.20240430 or newer. Otherwise, you must create a symlink somewhere on your PATH with a particular name. This symlink helps git-annex tell rclone it wants to run the "gitannex" subcommand.

    Create the helper symlink in "$HOME/bin":

    ln -s "$(realpath rclone)" "$HOME/bin/git-annex-remote-rclone-builtin"
    
    Verify the new symlink is on your PATH:
    
    ```console
    which git-annex-remote-rclone-builtin
    
  2. Add a new remote to your git-annex repo. This new remote will connect git-annex with the rclone gitannex subcommand.

    Start by asking git-annex to describe the remote's available configuration parameters.

    If you skipped step 1:

    git annex initremote MyRemote type=rclone --whatelse
    

    If you created a symlink in step 1:

    git annex initremote MyRemote type=external externaltype=rclone-builtin --whatelse
    

    NOTE: If you're porting an existing git-annex-remote-rclone remote to use rclone gitannex, you can probably reuse the configuration parameters verbatim without renaming them. Check parameter synonyms with --whatelse as shown above.

    The following example creates a new git-annex remote named "MyRemote" that will use the rclone remote named "SomeRcloneRemote". That rclone remote must be one configured in your rclone.conf file, which can be located with rclone config file.

    git annex initremote MyRemote         \
        type=external                     \
        externaltype=rclone-builtin       \
        encryption=none                   \
        rcloneremotename=SomeRcloneRemote \
        rcloneprefix=git-annex-content    \
        rclonelayout=nodir
    
  3. Before you trust this command with your precious data, be sure to test the remote. This command is very new and has not been tested on many rclone backends. Caveat emptor!

    git annex testremote MyRemote
    

Happy annexing!

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.
