Workflow

1. Check for .otto/

if [[ ! -d ".otto" ]]; then
  echo "No .otto/ directory found. Nothing to reset."
  exit 0
fi

If no .otto/ exists, report and stop.

2. Parse Arguments

Map targets to directories:

tasks    -> .otto/tasks/
specs    -> .otto/specs/
sessions -> .otto/sessions/
all      -> tasks + specs + sessions (NOT docs)

If no arguments or all specified, target tasks, specs, and sessions. Docs are always preserved.

3. Preview Removal

Show what will be removed with sizes:

du -sh <target_dirs> 2>/dev/null

Display to user:

Will remove:
  .otto/tasks/ (4K)
  .otto/specs/ (8K)

4. Confirm

Prompt the user to confirm before proceeding:

"This will delete the selected workflow data. Continue?" Options: "Yes, reset" / "Cancel"

5. Remove

After confirmation, remove only the targeted directories:

rm -rf <target_dirs>

For all, remove tasks, specs, and sessions (preserving docs):

rm -rf .otto/tasks .otto/specs .otto/sessions .otto/otto

7. Report

Reset complete. Cleared: tasks, specs
Run otto or spec to continue.
