freshclone

A procedure for replacing a repository with a clean clone while keeping the old directory as a backup. A repository is the project folder managed by Git.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recording the current branch and remote, checking for uncommitted changes, backing up the existing folder, cloning the repository again, and confirming the new copy works.
Why use it?
It provides a recoverable way to start from fresh files when conflicts or damaged project state cannot be resolved normally.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 248 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

freshclone 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.

What it actually says

Fresh Clone

When the user needs a clean clone of the repository (e.g., after unresolvable conflicts or corrupted state):

  1. Record the current branch name and remote URL:

    git branch --show-current
    git remote get-url origin
    
  2. Check for any uncommitted changes and warn the user if there are any:

    git status --short
    
  3. Move to the parent directory and rename the existing folder as a backup:

    mv <repo-dir> <repo-dir>-backup-$(date +%s)
    
  4. Clone fresh from the remote:

    git clone <remote-url> <repo-dir>
    
  5. If the original branch exists on the remote, check it out:

    git checkout <original-branch>
    
  6. Confirm success:

    git log --oneline -5
    git status
    
  7. Report the backup location and confirm the new clone is ready.

IMPORTANT: Always warn the user about uncommitted changes before proceeding. The backup directory preserves their previous state.

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.
