**Destructive.** Wipes the current project's `.priv-storage/` and root AIPS symlinks, then runs a fresh init (CASE A) from scratch. Always creates a timestamped backup first. Global plugin install is not touched.

/aips:reset

Destructive. Wipes the current project's .priv-storage/ and root AIPS symlinks, then runs a fresh init (CASE A) from scratch. Always creates a timestamped backup first. Global plugin install is not touched.

What it does

Locate PROJECT_ROOT — walk up from $PWD to nearest .git.
Confirm — REQUIRED EXPLICIT y — prompt:
```
This will reset all per-project AIPS state.
Backup will be at tmp-igbkp/reset-backup-<ts>/.
Proceed? [y/N]
```
Any input other than literal y aborts immediately. Empty input (Enter) aborts.
Backup — create tmp-igbkp/reset-backup-<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>/ and move into it:
- .priv-storage/ (entire dir)
- root symlinks if they resolve into .priv-storage/: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, .vscode/settings.json
Verify backup succeeded — confirm the new backup directory contains every moved item before proceeding. If backup is incomplete, abort and leave the partial backup in place for the user to inspect.
Wipe — after the backup mv succeeds, the originals are already gone (mv, not copy). Double-check nothing remains.
Fresh init (CASE A) — invoke the /aips:init CASE A flow on the now-empty project:
- lib/detect-project.sh
- render templates/CLAUDE.md.tmpl → .priv-storage/CLAUDE.md
- copy templates/WORK_STATUS.md.tmpl, templates/memory/
- create root symlinks
- copy templates/tmp-igbkp/ and chmod +x
- patch .gitignore idempotently
- run lib/verify-init.sh

Output

[reset] backup created       tmp-igbkp/reset-backup-20260519-143012/
[reset] wiped                .priv-storage/, root symlinks
[reset] fresh init           <lang>/<framework>
[reset] verify               PASS
note: previous state preserved at tmp-igbkp/reset-backup-20260519-143012/

Rules

Never proceed without explicit y confirmation.
Never delete without a successful backup first.
Never touch global plugin install (~/.claude/plugins/AIPS/).
Never touch project source code, .git/, or any path outside .priv-storage/ + the four root symlinks.
Never delete prior tmp-igbkp/reset-backup-* directories — leave them for the user.
