codesage-reset

A command that deletes a project's CodeSage search index and creates it again from the source files. An index is the stored data that makes code search possible.

In plain words
What is it for?
Rebuild after changing search models or devices, upgrading incompatible storage, or recovering from a damaged index.
Why use it?
It repairs corrupted or incompatible search data and applies settings changes that an incremental refresh cannot safely handle.

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

codesage-reset 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 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.

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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reset and rebuild a CodeSage index

Drops .codesage/index.db and performs a full re-index. Use after:

  • Editing .codesage/config.toml in a way that breaks the existing index (model switch, pooling change)
  • Switching embedding device (CPU ↔ GPU — embeddings produced on different devices are not bit-identical)
  • Index corruption or weird state
  • Upgrading CodeSage to a version with incompatible storage

For routine refresh use /codesage-reindex. Reset is destructive and pays the full embedding cost.

Before touching any .codesage/ path: .codesage/ is repository content, so a cloned repo can ship it — or any directory under it — as a symlink. Refuse to read, write, create, or delete through one. Check with test -L <path> (not test -e, which follows links) on .codesage itself and on each subdirectory you are about to use, and stop with an error if any is a symlink. Apply the same check to every leaf you touch: a *.json findings file, or any temporary file you create beside it, may itself be a planted symlink or a directory. Read or write a leaf only if it is a regular file (or absent, when creating), and give temporary files a freshly generated unique name rather than a predictable one.

Step 1: Resolve and confirm

$ARGUMENTS — project path (default cwd). Verify it has .codesage/index.db; if not, stop and tell the user to run /codesage-onboard first.

Before touching anything, confirm with the user: "About to reset CodeSage index for <project>. This deletes .codesage/index.db and rebuilds from scratch — on CUDA this typically takes under a few minutes for most repos. Proceed?" Wait for explicit yes.

Skip confirmation only if --yes is in $ARGUMENTS.

Step 2: Capture pre-reset state

cd <project> && codesage status

Record chunk count and file count. This is the baseline for the post-reset diff. codesage status does not emit a language breakdown; run codesage overview if you want one.

Step 3: Drop the index

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.

codesage-reset is a command published in the GitHub repository iliaal/codesage (20 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 870 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
