# Gitnexus Refresh On Stale > 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 Use when `npx gitnexus status` reports stale/outdated index state, or when you need to sync newly generated `.claude/skills/gitnexus` into `.agents/skills/gitnexus` with overwrite behavior.

Check index status. ```bash npx gitnexus status ``` 2. If status contains `stale` (case-insensitive), run: ```bash npx gitnexus analyze ``` 3. If `.claude/skills/gitnexus` exists after analyze, replace `.agents/skills/gitnexus` with it. - Delete existing `.agents/skills/gitnexus` when present. - Move `.claude/skills/gitnexus` to `.agents/skills/gitnexus`. 4. If status is not stale, do not run analyze. ## Script Use the bundled script for deterministic behavior: ```bash bash .agents/skills/gitnexus-refresh-on-stale/scripts/refresh_gitnexus_skills.sh ``` The script performs all steps above and prints what it changed. --- > Source: [ML4ITS/TimeVQVAE](https://github.com/ML4ITS/TimeVQVAE) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
