Available Targets

| Target | Directory | Contents | |--------|-----------|----------| | tasks | .otto/tasks/ | Task lists | | specs | .otto/specs/ | Specifications | | sessions | .otto/sessions/ | Browser sessions | | all | Above targets | Everything except docs (default) |

Usage Examples

• reset tasks - Clear only task lists
• reset specs tasks - Clear specs and tasks
• reset sessions - Clear browser sessions only
• reset all - Explicit full reset

Workflow

1. Check for .otto/

if [[ ! -d ".otto" ]]; then
  echo "No .otto/ directory found. Nothing to reset."
  exit 0
fi

If no .otto/ exists, report and stop.

2. Parse Arguments

Map targets to directories:

tasks    -> .otto/tasks/
specs    -> .otto/specs/
sessions -> .otto/sessions/
all      -> tasks + specs + sessions (NOT docs)

If no arguments or all specified, target tasks, specs, and sessions. Docs are always preserved.

3. Preview Removal

Show what will be removed with sizes:

du -sh  2>/dev/null

Display to user:

Will remove:
  .otto/tasks/ (4K)
  .otto/specs/ (8K)

4. Confirm

Prompt the user to confirm before proceeding: > "This will delete the selected workflow data. Continue?" > Options: "Yes, reset" / "Cancel"

5. Remove

After confirmation, remove only the targeted directories:

rm -rf 

For all, remove tasks, specs, and sessions (preserving docs):

rm -rf .otto/tasks .otto/specs .otto/sessions .otto/otto

7. Report

Reset complete. Cleared: tasks, specs
Run otto or spec to continue.
