| description | Reset AccountyCat on a Mac as close as possible to a fresh install without touching unrelated data. Use when the user wants AC wiped "like never installed", wants old OpenRouter/OpenAI credentials removed from Keychain, wants local state/logs/runtime/telemetry deleted, or wants AC-specific preferences, caches, containers, and privacy grants cleared before testing a release build. |
AccountyCat Reset State
Use this skill for destructive local cleanup of AC-owned macOS state. This is the "fresh install" reset path.
It removes:
~/Library/Application Support/AC including state, logs, telemetry, debug bundles, evals, and managed runtime files- AC-owned preferences, caches, HTTP storage, saved state, app containers, and application-script entries for discovered AC bundle IDs
- AC Keychain items under service
dev.accountycat.credentials
- TCC/privacy grants for discovered AC bundle IDs
It must not delete broad ~/Library trees or unrelated app data.
Workflow
- Use a dry run first if the user wants to inspect scope:
bash dev/agents/accountycat-reset-state/scripts/reset-ac-state.sh --dry-run
- Run the actual reset:
bash dev/agents/accountycat-reset-state/scripts/reset-ac-state.sh
- Report:
- whether
~/Library/Application Support/AC was removed
- whether AC keychain items were removed
- whether AC defaults domains were removed
- any leftover container stubs that macOS refused to delete
Ground Rules
- Search only common AC locations for bundle IDs:
/Applications, ~/Applications, repo build/, and ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData.
- Prefer the bundled script over ad hoc shell editing.
- Stop AC/ACInspector processes before deleting files.
- Delete only AC-owned paths derived from discovered bundle IDs plus the known legacy domain
dev.jon.accountycat.
- If macOS leaves container directories containing only
.com.apple.containermanagerd.metadata.plist, treat them as harmless leftovers and report them instead of forcing broader deletion.
- After reset, AC should behave like first launch: no saved key, no saved state, and permissions must be re-granted.
