Can this skill recover code that was never committed?

Yes, it can 'prowl' for staged deletions, uncommitted overwrites, and capture items from the git reflog or stashes that haven't been finalized in a commit.

What is the 'embalm-before-edit' feature?

It is a pre-mortem preservation step that snapshots your files before you or an AI agent makes changes, ensuring you can track exactly what was modified and reference the original state with full metadata.

What does 'suturing' code mean?

Suturing is the process of taking multiple fragments from different deleted sources or history snapshots and stitching them together to form a new, functional composite file.

How are the recovered code fragments organized?

Fragments are stored in a dedicated 'corpse-vault' directory, automatically categorized by programming language and accompanied by a provenance JSON file containing hashes, source paths, and timestamps.

Developer Tools

Recovers, preserves, and reanimates deleted or abandoned code from git history and system fragments to prevent logic loss.

Corpse Reviver is a sophisticated code archaeology pipeline designed to safeguard your development process by capturing staged deletions, uncommitted overwrites, and abandoned git stashes. It acts as a specialized safety net, allowing developers to 'hoard' fragments from the git reflog, commented-out sections, and orphaned files into an organized vault with full provenance metadata. Whether you need to 'embalm' a file before a risky refactor or 'suture' discarded ideas from multiple branches into a new implementation, this skill ensures that no valuable logic is ever permanently lost to the wasteland of development history.
