What it does

Rebase Framework is an agent skill from aptos-labs/aptos-core. Use when rebasing a branch that modifies the Aptos Move framework and git reports merge conflicts in cached-packages artifacts (head.mrb or generated SDK builder .rs files under aptos-move/framework/cached-packages/src/). Also use when a rebase stops on a binary conflict in head.mrb, or when a CI job complains that "Cached framework artifacts are out-of-date" after a rebase.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Aptos is a layer 1 blockchain built to support the widespread use of blockchain through better technology and user experience.

When your agent uses it

  • Rebasing a branch that modifies the Aptos Move framework and git reports merge conflicts in cached-packages artifacts (head.mrb
  • Generated SDK builder .rs files under aptos-move/framework/cached-packages/src/)
  • A rebase stops on a binary conflict in head.mrb
  • A CI job complains that Cached framework artifacts are out-of-date after a rebase

Example prompts

  • “Cached framework artifacts are out-of-date”
  • “/rebase-framework”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve real source conflicts first. Walk the rebase, hand-resolving any .move, .rs, or Cargo.toml conflicts as usual. For cached-packages…
  2. Continue the rebase normally through the remaining commits. If cached-packages conflicts reappear on later commits, repeat step 1. Do not…
  3. After the rebase finishes, regenerate the artifacts once from the final tree
  4. Amend the regenerated artifacts into the framework commit (so history stays clean — bytecode change lives with the source change that…
  5. Verify before pushing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4784065. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • cargo

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rebase Framework loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 481 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 481 words (~1,329 tokens).

“aptos-move/framework/cached-packages/src/head.mrb is a serialized binary of the compiled Move framework. Sibling files (aptos_framework_sdk_builder.rs, etc.) in the same directory are code-generated from the framework. Neither can be merge-resolved sensibly — they must be rebuilt from the framework sources at the conflict…”
