1. Purpose
template-reset is the Project Destructor & Rebirth script. It is used when you have cloned the DSOM “Skeleton” or a previous project and wish to wipe the historical slate clean to start an entirely new development lifecycle.
Use it to:
- Purge Git History: Completely deletes the
.gitdirectory and re-initializes a fresh repo with no history. - Factory Reset Brain: Overwrites
task.md,walkthrough.md, andimplementation_plan.mdwith “Golden Image” starting templates. - Cognitive Decoupling: Ensures the AI doesn’t inherit baggage or mental anchors from the project you cloned from.

3. Usage
3.1 Confirmation Prompt
The tool will issue a hard warning before proceeding. You must typey or yes to authorize the purge of the Git history and brain artifacts.
4. Operation Workflow (The 2 Purges)
- Git Purge: The script physically deletes the
.gitfolder and runsgit initlocally. You will be at “Commit 0”. - Artifact Reset:
task.mdis reset to “Project Initialization”.walkthrough.mdis reset with a fresh “Session Anchor” for today’s date.implementation_plan.mdis reset to empty Phase 1 goals.
5. Security Advisory
[!CAUTION]
Irreversible Action. This tool does not have an “Undo” feature. Once the.gitdirectory is deleted, all historical branches, tags, and commit messages are lost forever from the local copy.
6. Integration with the Daily Rituals
This is a Pre-Lifecycle tool. It is run exactly once after cloning a template but before performing your first Start-of-Day (SOD) Ritual.7. Related Documents
