refresh-topic

A command for updating a topic page with current information from Perplexity, an AI-assisted research service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when refreshing a topic page in a repository. The available excerpt does not provide enough detail about the exact page changes it makes.
Why use it?
It gives the update process a defined repository location and file-handling procedure, reducing the chance of editing the wrong files.

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.

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

refresh-topic 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 yesterday.

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.

Refresh Topic

You are tasked with refreshing a topic page with the latest information. Follow these steps:

0. Locate AZKG Repository

Check for AZKG_REPO_PATH environment variable:

  • Use bash conditional: if [ -z "$AZKG_REPO_PATH" ]; then REPO_PATH=$(pwd); else REPO_PATH="$AZKG_REPO_PATH"; fi
  • If AZKG_REPO_PATH is set: Use that path as the repository root
  • If AZKG_REPO_PATH is not set: Use current working directory (pwd)
  • Store result as REPO_PATH for all subsequent file operations

All file operations must use REPO_PATH:

  • Read: Read(REPO_PATH/filename.md) or Read("$REPO_PATH/filename.md")
  • Write: Write(REPO_PATH/filename.md) or Write("$REPO_PATH/filename.md")
  • Edit: Edit(REPO_PATH/filename.md) or Edit("$REPO_PATH/filename.md")
  • Grep: Grep(pattern, path=REPO_PATH) or with explicit path
  • Glob: Glob(pattern, path=REPO_PATH) or with explicit path

Example usage:

# Check environment variable
if [ -z "$AZKG_REPO_PATH" ]; then
  REPO_PATH=$(pwd)
else
  REPO_PATH="$AZKG_REPO_PATH"
fi

# Then use REPO_PATH for all operations
Read("$REPO_PATH/agents.md")

Concrete examples:

  • If AZKG_REPO_PATH="/c/Users/dothompson/OneDrive/src/witt3rd/donald-azkg" → Read("/c/Users/dothompson/OneDrive/src/witt3rd/donald-azkg/agents.md")
  • If AZKG_REPO_PATH is not set and pwd is /c/Users/dothompson/OneDrive/src/witt3rd/donald-azkg → Read("agents.md") or use full path from pwd

1. Read the Topic File

  • The user will provide a filename (e.g., agents.md or just agents)
  • Read the file from REPO_PATH (not current directory)
  • Parse the YAML frontmatter and main content

2. Formulate Perplexity Query

  • Analyze the topic content to understand the main subject
  • Extract key concepts, technologies, or themes
  • Create a focused query to find:
    • Recent developments (last 6-12 months)
    • New research or papers
    • Updated best practices
    • Emerging trends
    • Deprecated or outdated information

Example query format: "What are the latest developments, research, and best practices for [TOPIC] as of 2025? Include any significant changes, new tools, or deprecated approaches."

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.

refresh-topic is a command published in the GitHub repository witt3rd/claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 1,026 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 2026-08-31.
