reset

reset is a skill for Claude Code from davekilleen/Dex. It costs 98 tokens per session (1,436 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A restructuring guide for an existing Dex vault, the personal store where Dex keeps information. It changes the vault for a new role or new preferences while keeping the existing data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when your role or preferences have changed and Dex needs to be reorganized.
Why use it?
It removes the need to rebuild your stored information after changing jobs or responsibilities. Your existing data stays in place during the restructure.

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

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 1mo 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.

Reset Dex for changed answers

If 04-Projects/ does not exist, this vault was never set up. Use setup instead.

If the user actually changed jobs or roles — new employer, new email domain, an old identity to archive — use change-job instead: it runs this same reset and then guides the passes a reset alone never touches (re-sorting people for the new domain, archiving old-role goals, priorities and projects, re-pointing open tasks). A reset by itself is the right lever only for changed preferences or answers within the same working life.

To turn a single room on or off, use manage-capabilities — it is a much smaller change than a full reset and never touches the rest of the profile.

Otherwise:

  1. Tell the user what a reset does and does not do, and get an explicit yes before calling anything:

    "I'll walk you through the same questions as first-time setup and rewrite your profile — role, company, pillars, communication style, working week and rooms. Every setting you don't re-answer carries forward unchanged, and nothing you've written is deleted or moved: your notes, people, meetings and projects all stay exactly where they are. Want to go ahead?"

    Stop here if they decline.

  2. Call start_onboarding_session(force_new=True) from onboarding-mcp. The force_new flag is what makes this a reset rather than resuming a half-finished setup. Know what it re-arms: the fresh session clears the calendar answer and the harness confirmation, so the flow's calendar step and harness-selection confirmation must both be replayed — finalize_onboarding refuses to run until each has been addressed again. Do not skip past them expecting the old answers to still count.

  3. Read .claude/flows/onboarding.md and follow it as the single source of the conversation, exactly as setup does.

  4. Before finalizing, call finalize_onboarding(dry_run=True) and show the user what it reports it would create, plus the profile_changes list — every profile setting that will change, old value → new value. Settings not in that list carry forward. Tell the user that on a vault that already completed onboarding, finalizing first takes a snapshot of the current profile, pillars and room choices — before anything is rewritten — so the reset can be checked afterwards and undone if it went wrong. Then call finalize_onboarding().

  5. After finalizing, show the user the transition_verification summary from the finalize response — it reads "Changed (you chose): … Carried forward: N settings. Lost: none." Read it before relaying it: if it reports anything lost or changed outside their answers, say so plainly instead of declaring success, and offer restore_transition_capsule — preview first (it defaults to a dry run), then rerun it with dry_run=false if they want the two settings files put back exactly as they were. verify_transition re-runs the same check anytime against the snapshot named in the response.

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.
