Use when an already-scaffolded project is behind the framework — a drift notice appeared, a new ai-badger version shipped, or the user asks to "refresh"/"update ai-badger". Reports what changed, backs up .ai-badger/, and re-scaffolds from the project's existing config.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# den-refresh

Pulls framework updates from the ai-badger catalog into a project that was
already scaffolded. **The script does all mechanical work; you (the agent)
present the report and help the user review the diff.**

This is the update direction of the framework: framework → project (update).
For initial setup use `welcome-ai-badger`; to contribute back use `feed-badger`.

## Responsibility split

- **Script (mechanical):** `refresh.py` validates prerequisites (config.json,
  manifest.json), runs drift detection, re-scaffolds with the existing config,
  and emits a JSON report. Skills with extensions (e.g., `task` with
  `github`/`hermes` extensions) are re-scaffolded and their extensions
  re-embedded automatically.
- **You (creative only):** present the report, help the user review what
  changed, and offer to commit or discard. There is no config authoring, no
  stack detection, no plugin scope prompt — those belong to `welcome-ai-badger`.

## Prerequisites

- Project has `.ai-badger/config.json` and `.ai-badger/manifest.json` (it was
  scaffolded by `welcome-ai-badger`)
- An ai-badger framework checkout is accessible (`$AI_BADGER`)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arasz/ai-badger/den-refresh@sha256:582162e46a8802a1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
