/reset

/reset is the clean-slate button. Sometimes you want to start over — a new career direction, a fresh profile, or you're handing the repo to someone else. /reset removes your data while carefully preserving the framework that makes CareerForge work, so the tool still runs perfectly afterwards.

Pick what to clear

If you don't pass a scope, it asks you to choose and explains what each one affects.

It shows you everything first

Before deleting anything, /reset prints an inventory:

you:    /reset profile
claude: Profile reset — here's what I'll clear vs. keep:

        Will clear:
          01-candidate-profile.md     (has your data)
          02-behavioral-profile.md    (has your data)
          07 STAR examples            (3 examples)
        Already empty:
          05 profile statements       (template)
        NEVER touched (framework):
          03-writing-style.md, 04 scoring framework,
          06 cover-letter templates, 07 framework + roleplay

        This cannot be undone — your git history is the only recovery.
        Type RESET to proceed.
you:    RESET
claude: Cleared 3 files. Run /setup to rebuild your profile.

The safety rails

• Inventory before deletion — you always see exactly what goes and what stays.
• You must type RESET in capitals. Any other reply cancels with "nothing was changed".
• The framework is never touched — the writing-style guide, the scoring framework, the cover-letter templates, and the interview-prep framework (including your roleplay guidelines) all survive. Only your data is cleared.
• Honest reporting — it lists what was actually cleared versus what was already empty, and never claims to have wiped something that wasn't there.
• No undo. It says so up front and points you at your git history.

After a reset

/reset tells you the natural next step for what you cleared — almost always /setup to rebuild your profile (add documents first if you cleared those).

Because it's destructive, /reset is intentionally not available from the dashboard Console — it only runs here, where the typed RESET confirmation protects you.
