What is restore-backup?

A command for restoring files and session state from a snapshot made before an import. An import is an operation that brings external content into the current project or session.

Use it to inspect the available backup and, after typing the required confirmation, restore the earlier files or remove imported content from an previously empty directory.

It provides a way to undo a failed or unwanted import, while clearly showing what may be lost before restoration.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00011	$0.00311
Opus 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00124
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00062
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00031

Security

Grade A, and why

restore-backup 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 2mo 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

Restore the session state from before the last import. Use this if an import caused problems or you want to undo an import.

Usage

/restore-backup

What This Does

Shows information about the pre-import snapshot:
- When it was created
- What directory it protects
- Whether there was existing content before import
Lists session files that will be affected
Requires typing "RESTORE" to confirm (safety measure)
Restores the pre-import state:
- If there was existing content: restores it
- If directory was empty: removes imported content
Deletes the snapshot after successful restore

Important Notes

DESTRUCTIVE: Any sessions created AFTER the import will be LOST
ONE SNAPSHOT: Each import overwrites the previous snapshot
IRREVERSIBLE: Once restored, cannot undo the restore

Examples

Check snapshot status (no restore):

/restore-backup --info

Perform restore (will prompt for confirmation):

/restore-backup

Implementation

Show snapshot info first:

python3 restore_backup.py

If user confirms, perform restore:

python3 restore_backup.py --restore

For the --info flag, just show info without prompting:

python3 restore_backup.py

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.
