What it does

Rollback is an agent skill from softspark/ai-toolkit. Rolls back git commit, DB migration, or deploy to known-good with safety + health checks. Triggers: rollback, revert deploy, revert migration, rollback commit, git revert.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/rollback_info.py`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Database migrations, Commit messages and Git workflow. It works with Git, Docker, Laravel and Prisma. The repository describes itself as: Professional-grade AI coding toolkit: 94 skills, 44 agents, multi-platform (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini, Cline, Roo Code, Aider, Augment, Antigravity, Codex CLI… The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

“Use the rollback skill to roll back git commit, DB migration, or deploy to known-good with safety + health checks”
“/rollback”

Requirements

Python 3
Node.js
Docker
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Git Rollback
Database Migration Rollback
Deployment Rollback

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d64db2b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
- Read
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
- kubectl
- python3
- npx
- php
- python
- docker
- heroku
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, kubectl, npx and docker, 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

Rollback loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 557 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~45
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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)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.

/rollback - Safe Rollback

$ARGUMENTS

What This Command Does

Safely revert changes with appropriate safety checks and confirmation.

Rollback Types

1. Git Rollback

bash

# Revert last commit (creates new commit)
git revert HEAD --no-edit

# Revert specific commit
git revert <commit-sha> --no-edit

# Revert to specific state (CAUTION)
git reset --soft <commit-sha>  # Keep changes staged

2. Database Migration Rollback

Tool	Command
Alembic	`alembic downgrade -1`
Prisma	`npx prisma migrate resolve --rolled-back <name>`
Laravel	`php artisan migrate:rollback --step=1`
Django	`python manage.py migrate <app> <previous>`
Flyway	`flyway undo`

3. Deployment Rollback

Platform	Command
Kubernetes	`kubectl rollout undo deployment/<name>`
Docker Compose	`docker compose up -d --force-recreate` (with previous image tag)
Heroku	`heroku rollback`

Gather Rollback Context

Run the rollback info script to assess current state before rolling back:

bash

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/rollback_info.py

Returns JSON with:

git{} - current/previous commit, branch, commits ahead, uncommitted changes
migrations{} - detected tool (alembic/prisma/laravel/django/drizzle), rollback command
docker{} - running services and image tags

Safety Checks (MANDATORY)

Before any rollback:

Confirm what will be reverted (show diff/plan)
Check for dependent changes that may break
Verify backup exists (for database rollbacks)
Get explicit user confirmation

Usage Examples

/rollback                    # Interactive - asks what to rollback
/rollback git last           # Revert last git commit
/rollback migration          # Rollback last database migration
/rollback deploy             # Rollback to previous deployment

CRITICAL: Always confirm with the user before executing destructive rollback operations.

Rules

MUST confirm the current state AND the target state before rolling back — surface the diff in plain English
MUST verify a recent backup exists (for DB rollbacks) or explicitly warn the user that none was found
NEVER roll back without an explicit "yes" from the user — rollbacks are irreversible in the user-experience sense even when technically reversible
NEVER git reset --hard on a branch others have pulled from — it rewrites shared history
CRITICAL: after any rollback, run a health check (/health or the project's equivalent) to confirm the target state is stable — a "successful" rollback to a broken baseline is worse than the original state
MANDATORY: log the rollback with timestamp, scope, and reason — post-mortems need this trail

Gotchas

git revert creates a new commit that undoes the target commit. The reverted commit is still in history — if the target commit was sensitive (secret, PII), revert alone does not remove it. Use history rewriting tools for that.
Database migration rollbacks sometimes lose data. A forward migration that added a NOT NULL column with a default, then populated it with user data, cannot restore the column contents on rollback — the data is gone.
Kubernetes kubectl rollout undo rolls back to the previous ReplicaSet, not to a specific version. If you need "rollback to v1.2.3 specifically", track deployments by image tag and use kubectl set image, not rollout undo.
Heroku and similar PaaS platforms rollback restores the slug but not environment config that changed after the rollback target was built — new env vars or add-ons may break the rolled-back version.
git reset --soft preserves staged changes, --mixed (default) preserves working tree, --hard discards both. Wrong flag = lost work; always state the flag explicitly in the confirmation prompt.
Restoring a DB backup on top of an active database can cause data loss between the backup time and the restore time. Take a fresh snapshot before the restore, even when rolling back — the current (broken) state might contain post-backup user writes.

When NOT to Use

For emergency halt of all agent activity — use /panic
For undoing local uncommitted edits — use git checkout directly, not this skill
For an incident with user-facing impact — use /workflow incident-response for coordinated response
For planned schema changes — use /migrate with a forward rollback migration, not this skill after-the-fact
For a feature flag off-switch — toggle the flag; rollback is a heavier tool than needed

When should I use Rollback?

Rollback fits situations like: tasks that involve Database migrations; tasks that involve Commit messages; tasks that involve Git workflow.

How do I install Rollback in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill rollback -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (app/skills/rollback in softspark/ai-toolkit) into .claude/skills/rollback in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Rollback in Codex?

Run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill rollback -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (app/skills/rollback in softspark/ai-toolkit) into .agents/skills/rollback in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Rollback in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add softspark/ai-toolkit --skill rollback -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/rollback, .gemini/skills/rollback, .github/skills/rollback and .opencode/skills/rollback in your project.

What does Rollback need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Rollback needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (git, kubectl, python3, npx, php and python). Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; Docker. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read.

Does Rollback access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, npx and docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Rollback safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Rollback use?

Rollback is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Rollback use?

About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Rollback?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Rollback: Git Conventions (werf/werf, 4.7k stars), Ssh Skill (badseal/ssh-skill, 536 stars), Rtk Skill (sopaco/deepwiki-rs, 3.1k stars) and Pluggedin Stack Ops (VeriTeknik/pluggedin-app, 103 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Rollback?

softspark (a GitHub user) maintains it in softspark/ai-toolkit, which has 179 GitHub stars. The repository holds 112 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
