Start a clean Claude session with only the context the next task needs, instead of /compact. Captures the goal of your next session, points to the right files (never copies them), and outputs a self-contained prompt to paste into a fresh chat. Use when: "refresh", "refresh context", "fresh start", "my chat got sloppy", "start a new chat with context", "hand off this session", outputs degrading, drifting off task. Three levels: lite (quick reset), full (default handoff), ultra…
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
# Refresh Long sessions rot: the window fills with stale back-and-forth and outputs get worse. `/compact` summarizes the mess in place and keeps going in the *same* polluted window. Refresh does the opposite. It captures the goal of your next session, points to the right files, and hands you a clean prompt to paste into a fresh chat. Rebuild, not summarize. ## UX Rules 1. Ask exactly one question: the goal. Don't interrogate. 2. **Wait for the answer. Stop your turn after asking.** Do not generate the prompt, a draft, or a "default / in the meantime" handoff before the user replies with the goal. The only exception: the user already stated the goal in the trigger, in which case skip the question and proceed. 3. Reference files by **path only**, never copy file content, **but only when the data lives in a file the next session can open.** The fresh session cannot read this chat. So never hand it a pointer to data that has no retrievable home, see the persistence check in the workflow. 4. Be concise. The output is a prompt the user pastes, not a report. No preamble around it. 5. Default level is `full` when none is given. ## Levels …

How to install
mdr add naveedharri/benai-skills/refresh@sha256:dc30b3b81b15d945The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.0, 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.
