Auto-Context: Reset

Remove all auto-context state from this project. This is a destructive operation.

---

Step 1: Confirm with User

Before proceeding, inform the user what will be deleted:

• .auto-context/ directory (all conventions, candidates, anti-patterns, config, session logs)
• Auto-context marker section in CLAUDE.md (content between <!-- auto-context:start --> and <!-- auto-context:end -->, inclusive of the markers)

Ask: "This will permanently delete all auto-context data. Proceed?"

If the user says no, stop immediately.

---

Step 2: Remove Data Store

Delete the .auto-context/ directory:

rm -rf .auto-context/

Verify removal:

test ! -d .auto-context/ && echo "Data store removed" || echo "WARNING: .auto-context/ still exists"

If .auto-context/ does not exist, report "No data store found" and continue to Step 3.

---

Step 3: Clean CLAUDE.md

If CLAUDE.md does not exist, report "No CLAUDE.md found" and skip to Step 4.

If CLAUDE.md exists, check for auto-context markers:

grep -c -F "auto-context:" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "0"

If no markers found (count is 0), report "No auto-context markers found in CLAUDE.md" and skip to Step 4.

If markers exist, remove everything between <!-- auto-context:start --> and <!-- auto-context:end --> (inclusive):

awk '/<!-- auto-context:start -->/{skip=1; next} /<!-- auto-context:end -->/{skip=0; next} !skip{print}' CLAUDE.md > CLAUDE.md.ac-tmp && mv CLAUDE.md.ac-tmp CLAUDE.md

After removal, check if CLAUDE.md is empty or whitespace-only:

if [ ! -s CLAUDE.md ] || ! grep -q '[^[:space:]]' CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null; then
  rm CLAUDE.md
  echo "CLAUDE.md was empty after cleanup -- removed"
fi

If CLAUDE.md still has user content, keep it.

Verify no orphaned markers remain:

grep -c -F "auto-context:" CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null || echo "0"

If orphaned markers remain (corrupted state), remove any lines containing the marker patterns:

grep -v -F "auto-context:start" CLAUDE.md | grep -v -F "auto-context:end" > CLAUDE.md.ac-tmp && mv CLAUDE.md.ac-tmp CLAUDE.md

---

Step 4: Report Results

Tell the user what was cleaned:

• Whether .auto-context/ was found and removed (or was already absent)
• Whether CLAUDE.md was modified (marker section removed, file deleted, or no markers found)
• Suggest: "Run /auto-context:ac-init to re-bootstrap if desired"
