description	This command should be used to clear the Kimchi working directory (.kimchi/) and start fresh. Preserves .beads/ directory. Use when starting a new planning session or recovering from a bad state.

Kimchi Reset

Clear the planning pipeline working directory.

Process

1. Check if .kimchi/ directory exists

   • If not: "Nothing to reset. No .kimchi/ directory found."

2. List what will be deleted:

   Files to remove:
   - .kimchi/CONTEXT.md
   - .kimchi/REQUIREMENTS.md
   - .kimchi/RESEARCH.md
   - .kimchi/PLAN.md
   - .kimchi/PLAN-REVIEWED.md
   - .kimchi/PLAN-DRAFT.md
   - .kimchi/PLAN-REVISED-*.md
   - .kimchi/PLAN-SYNTHESIZED.md
   - .kimchi/VALIDATION-REPORT.md
   

3. Ask for confirmation using AskUserQuestion:

   • "This will delete all planning artifacts in .kimchi/. The .beads/ directory will be preserved. Continue?"
   • Options: "Yes, reset" / "No, cancel"

4. If confirmed:

   • Delete .kimchi/ directory: rm -rf .kimchi/
   • Report: "Reset complete. .kimchi/ cleared. .beads/ preserved."
   • Note: "Run /kimchi:plan [idea] to start a new planning session."

5. If cancelled:

   • Report: "Reset cancelled."

Important

• NEVER delete .beads/ — those are validated outputs that ACFS or GasTown may be consuming
• NEVER delete plans/, inspiration/, or any other kimchi plugin directories
• Only delete the .kimchi/ working directory
