mtk-agent-toolkit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/setup-refresh/SKILL.md

setup-refresh is a skill for Claude Code from moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit. It costs 42 tokens per session (6,481 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for checking generated project setup files against the current codebase and detected tools. It proposes changes to files edited by engineers instead of replacing them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refresh principles, conventions, tool detection, AGENTS.md, configuration files, and indexes after the project has drifted.
Why use it?
Project setup can become outdated as the codebase changes, while automatic regeneration can overwrite deliberate team decisions.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mtk-agent-toolkit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mtk-agent-toolkit configures →

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

setup-refresh scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The script is idempotent: a file without the bad key, or a missing file, is left byte-for-byte untouched. It moves only an explicit allow-list of narrow build/test/format/lint rules into `permissions.allow`, printing eac

MTK Setup Refresh — Detect Drift, Regenerate Scoped, Propose Diffs

MTK File Resolution

Resolve MTK skill/reference/script paths per .claude/references/mtk-file-resolution.md unless the router already stated MTK_ROOT=<path> this session; CLAUDE.md, .claude/tech-stack, .claude/rules/, tasks/, docs/, .mtk/ stay project-relative.


This skill re-runs setup's generators on an already-bootstrapped repo. It never re-audits blind: it consults scripts/setup-refresh-plan.sh for a per-artifact staleness verdict, regenerates only what drifted, and — critically — never silently overwrites a file an engineer has hand-edited. Engineer-edited files go through the diff-proposal contract in .claude/references/regen-diff-contract.md, the same contract setup-audit and setup-bootstrap use for their own re-run merges. --check (## Check Mode) is the read-only inverse: it treats the docs as normative and reports where the code has drifted from them, writing nothing outside .claude/.mtk-cache/.

File Preservation Policy

This skill inherits the File Preservation Policy defined in .claude/skills/setup-bootstrap/SKILL.md (## File Preservation Policy) wholesale — read it before writing anything. In short: only MTK-owned files may be overwritten in place, everything else (nested CLAUDE.md, custom rules, custom references, lockfiles, source) is preserved untouched, and superseding a prior MTK-owned file must be reported loudly, never silent. Refresh must not weaken this contract in any way — it has strictly more ways to go wrong than bootstrap (drift scoping, cached ancestors, diff proposals), and every one of them defaults to preserving what's on disk.

STEP 0: Preconditions

Require a prior bootstrap:

test -f .claude/tech-stack || MISSING_TECH_STACK=1
test -f .claude/mtk-version.json || MISSING_VERSION=1

If either file is missing, stop immediately and tell the engineer:

"This repo has not been bootstrapped yet (.claude/tech-stack and/or .claude/mtk-version.json missing). Run /mtk-setup (full bootstrap) first, then /mtk-setup --refresh on future re-runs."

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.

setup-refresh is a skill published in the GitHub repository moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit (9 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 6,481 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
