Refresh GitNexus indexing and regenerate local GitNexus skills when repository status is stale.

  • Works in 3 steps: Check index status. → If status contains stale… → If .claude/skills/gitnexus exists after…
  • Npx gitnexus status reports stale/outdated index state
  • SKILL.md covers Workflow and Script
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls npx and bash

What it does

Gitnexus Refresh On Stale is an agent skill from ML4ITS/TimeVQVAE. Refresh GitNexus indexing and regenerate local GitNexus skills when repository status is stale. Use when npx gitnexus status reports stale/outdated index state, or when you need to sync newly generated .claude/skills/gitnexus into .agents/skills/gitnexus with overwrite behavior.

Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/refresh_gitnexus_skills.sh`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Forecasting and time series and Deep learning. It works with PyTorch. The repository describes itself as: [official] PyTorch implementation of TimeVQVAE from the paper ["Vector Quantized Time Series Generation with a Bidirectional Prior Model", AISTATS 2023]. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Npx gitnexus status reports stale/outdated index state
  • You need to sync newly generated .claude/skills/gitnexus into .agents/skills/gitnexus with overwrite behavior

Example prompts

  • “/gitnexus-refresh-on-stale”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check index status.
  2. If status contains stale (case-insensitive), run
  3. If .claude/skills/gitnexus exists after analyze, replace .agents/skills/gitnexus with it.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 39f98e9. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • bash

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, 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

Gitnexus Refresh On Stale loads about 264 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 71 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~264

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
