What it tells the agent

The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

name: gsd:reapply-patches
description: Reapply local modifications after a GSD update
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion
---

<purpose>
After a GSD update wipes and reinstalls files, this command merges user's previously saved local modifications back into the new version. Uses three-way comparison (pristine baseline, user-modified backup, newly installed version) to reliably distinguish user customizations from version drift.

**Critical invariant:** Every file in `gsd-local-patches/` was backed up because the installer's hash comparison detected it was modified. The workflow must NEVER conclude "no custom content" for any backed-up file — that is a logical contradiction. When in doubt, classify as CONFLICT requiring user review, not SKIP.
</purpose>

<process>

## Step 1: Detect backed-up patches

Check for local patches directory:

```bash
expand_home() {
  case "$1" in
    "~/"*) printf '%s/%s\n' "$HOME" "${1#~/}" ;;
    *) printf '%s\n' "$1" ;;
  esac
}

PATCHES_DIR=""

# Env overrides first — covers custom config directories used with --config-dir
if [ -n "$KILO_CONFIG_DIR" ]; then
  candidate="$(expand_home "$KILO_CONFIG_DIR")/gsd-local-patches"
  if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
  fi
elif [ -n "$KILO_CONFIG" ]; then
  candidate="$(dirname "$(expand_home "$KILO_CONFIG")")/gsd-local-patches"
  if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
  fi
elif [ -n "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" ]; then
  candidate="$(expand_home "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME")/kilo/gsd-local-patches"
  if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
  fi
fi

if [ -z "$PATCHES_DIR" ] && [ -n "$OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR" ]; then
  candidate="$(expand_home "$OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR")/gsd-local-patches"
  if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
  fi
elif [ -z "$PATCHES_DIR" ] && [ -n "$OPENCODE_CONFIG" ]; then
  candidate="$(dirname "$(expand_home "$OPENCODE_CONFIG")")/gsd-local-patches"
  if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
  fi
elif [ -z "$PATCHES_DIR" ] && [ -n "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" ]; then
  candidate="$(expand_home "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME")/opencode/gsd-local-patches"
  if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
  fi
fi

if [ -z "$PATCHES_DIR" ] && [ -n "$GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR" ]; then
  candidate="$(expand_home "$GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR")/gsd-local-patches"
  if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
  fi
fi

if [ -z "$PATCHES_DIR" ] && [ -n "$CODEX_HOME" ]; then
  candidate="$(expand_home "$CODEX_HOME")/gsd-local-patches"
  if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
  fi
fi

if [ -z "$PATCHES_DIR" ] && [ -n "$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR" ]; then
  candidate="$(expand_home "$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR")/gsd-local-patches"
  if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
  fi
fi

# Global install — detect runtime config directory defaults
if [ -z "$PATCHES_DIR" ]; then
  if [ -d "$HOME/.config/kilo/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$HOME/.config/kilo/gsd-local-patches"
  elif [ -d "$HOME/.config/opencode/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$HOME/.config/opencode/gsd-local-patches"
  elif [ -d "$HOME/.opencode/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$HOME/.opencode/gsd-local-patches"
  elif [ -d "$HOME/.gemini/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$HOME/.gemini/gsd-local-patches"
  elif [ -d "$HOME/.codex/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
    PATCHES_DIR="$HOME/.codex/gsd-local-patches"
  else
    PATCHES_DIR="$HOME/.claude/gsd-local-patches"
  fi
fi
# Local install fallback — check all runtime directories
if [ ! -d "$PATCHES_DIR" ]; then
  for dir in .config/kilo .kilo .config/opencode .opencode .gemini .codex .claude; do
    if [ -d "./$dir/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
      PATCHES_DIR="./$dir/gsd-local-patches"
      break
    fi
  done
fi
```

Read `backup-meta.json` from the patches directory.

**If no patches found:**
```
No local patches found. Nothing to reapply.

Local patches are automatically saved when you run /gsd:update
after modifying any GSD workflow, command, or agent files.
```
Exit.

## Step 2: Determine baseline for three-way comparison

The quality of the merge depends on having a **pristine baseline** — the original unmodified version of each file from the pre-update GSD release. This enables three-way comparison:
- **Pristine baseline** (original GSD file before any user edits)
- **User's version** (backed up in `gsd-local-patches/`)
- **New version** (freshly installed after update)

Check for baseline sources in priority order:

### Option A: Git history (most reliable)
If the config directory is a git repository:
```bash
CONFIG_DIR=$(dirname "$PATCHES_DIR")
if git -C "$CONFIG_DIR" rev-parse --git-dir >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  HAS_GIT=true
fi
```
When `HAS_GIT=true`, use `git log` to find the commit where GSD was originally installed (before user edits). For each file, the pristine baseline can be extracted with:
```bash
git -C "$CONFIG_DIR" log --diff-filter=A --format="%H" -- "{file_path}"
```
This gives the commit that first added the file (the install commit). Extract the pristine version:
```bash
git -C "$CONFIG_DIR" show {install_commit}:{file_path}
```

### Option B: Pristine snapshot directory
Check if a `gsd-pristine/` directory exists alongside `gsd-local-patches/`:
```bash
PRISTINE_DIR="$CONFIG_DIR/gsd-pristine"
```
If it exists, the installer saved pristine copies at install time. Use these as the baseline.

### Option C: No baseline available (two-way fallback)
If neither git history nor pristine snapshots are available, fall back to two-way comparison — but with **strengthened heuristics** (see Step 3).

## Step 3: Show patch summary

```
## Local Patches to Reapply

**Backed up from:** v{from_version}
**Current version:** {read VERSION file}
**Files modified:** {count}
**Merge strategy:** {three-way (git) | three-way (pristine) | two-way (enhanced)}

Questions

What does the Reapply Patches skill do?

A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw

Is Reapply Patches safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Reapply Patches access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

Which assistants does Reapply Patches work with?

Its documentation mentions codex. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (80a0afd96301), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
