rollback

A rollback procedure for restoring a Git working tree to an earlier checkpoint. Git is a system that records project versions and changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list checkpoints, restore a chosen checkpoint, or undo a previous rollback.
Why use it?
It lets an agent undo recent changes while first saving the current state and keeping the branch itself where it is.

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

rollback 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

Restore the working tree to a checkpoint, undoing recent agent changes. This is safe: it first saves the current state as a reversible pre-rollback checkpoint, never moves your branch/HEAD, and never hard-deletes anything from git.

The CLI is python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/checkpoint.py" <cmd> (this resolves to the plugin's hooks/checkpoint.py).

Steps:

  1. If the user did NOT name a checkpoint, first list them and show the user so they can confirm the target (default = most recent non-pre-rollback checkpoint):
    python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/checkpoint.py" list
    
  2. Perform the rollback (pass the chosen ref, or omit for the default):
    python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/checkpoint.py" rollback [ref]
    
    This step is intentionally NOT pre-approved — because a rollback rewrites the working tree, Claude Code will ask the user to permit this exact command. That confirmation is expected; wait for it. undo is not pre-approved either: it is itself a rollback (to the pre-rollback checkpoint) and rewrites the working tree just the same, so it gets the same confirmation. Only list is read-only.
  3. Relay the tool's output verbatim, including how to reverse it:
    python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/checkpoint.py" undo
    
    Also note that files CREATED since the checkpoint are left in place (they show up in git status) and can be removed manually if unwanted.

Only meaningful in a git repository. If the CLI prints "not a git repository" or "no checkpoints", relay that and stop. Do not attempt manual git reset/checkout yourself — always go through the CLI so the operation stays safe and reversible.

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.

rollback is a skill published in the GitHub repository tandnguyendev/dev-workflow (2 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 500 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
