clean-project

name: clean-project description: Perform a "hard reset" of the development environment. Use when dependencies are corrupted, lockfiles are out of sync, or environment tools (Trunk/pnpm) are in an inconsistent state.

Clean Project (Hard Reset)

This skill provides a destructive but thorough way to repair a "broken" development environment by removing all cached artifacts and re-initializing from scratch.

When to Use

• pnpm install fails repeatedly with checksum or resolution errors.
• trunk reports internal errors that persist after trunk install.
• "Ghost" errors occur (failures that don't match the current code).

Workflow

1. Clean Dependencies:

   • Recursively delete node_modules: find . -name "node_modules" -type d -prune -exec rm -rf '{}' +.
   • Remove global lockfile: rm pnpm-lock.yaml.

2. Clean Tooling Cache:

   • Clear Trunk cache: trunk clean.
   • Prune pnpm store: pnpm store prune.

3. Re-initialize Environment:

   • Invoke the setup-dev-env skill to reinstall everything.

4. Verify Health:

   • Invoke the verifier subagent (../../agents/verifier.md) to ensure the project is back to a clean, working state.

Safety Note

This process is destructive to the local environment but safe for the repository. It will require a full download of all dependencies, which may take several minutes depending on network speed.
