git-rebase

git-rebase is a command for coding agents from oalders/kitchen-sink. It costs 13 tokens per session (426 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Git command workflow that updates the current branch with changes from the remote default branch, usually main or master. Rebasing reapplies your commits on top of those newer changes and may require resolving conflicts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before integrating current changes from the remote repository, resolving conflicting files, verifying the result, and completing the rebase.
Why use it?
It helps bring your branch up to date while keeping its history in a straight line and guiding you through conflicts.

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

git-rebase 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 4d 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

Rebase the current branch onto the remote default branch, resolving any conflicts that arise.

Steps:

  1. Detect the default branch. Prefer main; fall back to master if main does not exist on the remote:

    • Run git ls-remote --heads origin main — if the output is non-empty, use main
    • Otherwise run git ls-remote --heads origin master — if non-empty, use master
    • If neither exists, stop and ask the user which branch to rebase onto
    • Use the detected name as <base> in the steps below
  2. Create a todo list with these tasks:

    • Fetch latest changes from origin/
    • Pull changes from origin/ into current branch (with rebase)
    • Identify and resolve merge conflicts
    • Verify resolution and complete merge
  3. Fetch the latest changes: git fetch origin <base>

  4. Pull with rebase: git pull --rebase origin <base>

    • ALWAYS use --rebase flag (never plain git pull)
    • This keeps a clean linear history
  5. If conflicts occur:

    • Read each conflicted file to understand the conflict
    • Resolve by keeping both changes when appropriate, or choosing the correct version
    • After editing, stage the resolved file: git add <file>
    • Continue the rebase: git rebase --continue
  6. Verify the final state: git status

  7. Update todo list to mark tasks completed as you progress

  8. Inform the user:

    • What conflicts were resolved and how
    • The final state of the branch
    • If a force push is needed (branch has remote counterpart), use git push --force-with-lease
      • NEVER use --force - it can overwrite others' work
      • --force-with-lease fails safely if remote has new commits
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.
