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 installfails repeatedly with checksum or resolution errors.trunkreports internal errors that persist aftertrunk install.- "Ghost" errors occur (failures that don't match the current code).
Workflow
-
Clean Dependencies:
- Recursively delete
node_modules:find . -name "node_modules" -type d -prune -exec rm -rf '{}' +. - Remove global lockfile:
rm pnpm-lock.yaml.
- Recursively delete
-
Clean Tooling Cache:
- Clear Trunk cache:
trunk clean. - Prune pnpm store:
pnpm store prune.
- Clear Trunk cache:
-
Re-initialize Environment:
- Invoke the
setup-dev-envskill to reinstall everything.
- Invoke the
-
Verify Health:
- Invoke the
verifiersubagent (../../agents/verifier.md) to ensure the project is back to a clean, working state.
- Invoke the
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.
