What it does

Re0 Work is an agent skill from LilMGenius/paperthin. Restart a project or artifact from v0 while preserving only proven lessons, contracts, gates, vocabulary, real-surface tests, and negative corpus. Use when the foundation is wrong, accumulated code is misleading progress, or a new pass should learn from the old one without inheriting its accidental architecture.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Testing & QA. The repository describes itself as: Low-level agentic design patterns. Turning old engineering wisdom into reflexes your agent reaches for on its own—on any agent. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The foundation is wrong
  • Accumulated code is misleading progress
  • A new pass should learn from the old one without inheriting its accidental architecture

Example prompts

  • “/re0-work”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the current plan, any lessons or re0-memo notes, local domain notes, QA evidence, and any user complaint that triggered the restart.
  2. Identify what to preserve: contracts, schemas that survived QA, quality gates, vocabulary, reusable services, real-surface tests, and…
  3. Identify what to discard: explanatory UI, debug panels, scaffold, shallow generated content, accidental abstractions, and code whose only…
  4. Name the first quality gate before planning code.
  5. Write a v0 skeleton plan with one complete vertical loop.
  6. Build only the first loop until it clears the gate.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7d5dc62. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Re0 Work loads about 566 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 297 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~566

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.

description
Restart a project or artifact from v0 while preserving only proven lessons, contracts, gates, vocabulary, real-surface tests, and negative corpus. Use when the foundation is wrong, accumulated code is misleading progress, or a new pass should learn from the old one without inheriting its accidental architecture.

Start over from what the previous cycle proved, not from what it happened to build.

Goal

re0-work is a controlled restart. It keeps earned knowledge and refuses to copy forward accidental architecture. Starting from scratch is not amnesia: contracts, schemas, vocabulary, real-surface tests, quality gates, and negative corpus survive when they earned it. Scaffold, explanatory UI, debug panels, shallow generated content, and code whose only value was learning what not to do do not.

Workflow

  1. Read the current plan, any lessons or re0-memo notes, local domain notes, QA evidence, and any user complaint that triggered the restart.
  2. Identify what to preserve: contracts, schemas that survived QA, quality gates, vocabulary, reusable services, real-surface tests, and negative corpus.
  3. Identify what to discard: explanatory UI, debug panels, scaffold, shallow generated content, accidental abstractions, and code whose only value was learning what not to do.
  4. Name the first quality gate before planning code.
  5. Write a v0 skeleton plan with one complete vertical loop.
  6. Build only the first loop until it clears the gate.

Rules

  • Starting from scratch means no copy-forward unless the artifact earned it.
  • One complete vertical loop beats many shallow surfaces.
  • Preserve provenance in local docs, not in the shipped product.
  • Do not rebuild around a vague lesson. Turn it into a gate or leave it out.
  • Do not delete negative corpus; archive or reference it where the next cycle will see it.
  • If a reusable module survives, name the contract that proved it survives.

Verification

Before finishing:

  1. The preserve/discard split is explicit and evidence-backed.
  2. The new v0 plan has one complete vertical loop and a named first gate.
  3. No old architecture is copied forward merely because it exists.
  4. A fresh builder can start without rereading the failed codebase.
