## What it does

This skill manages the FPF reasoning cycle stored in your `.fpf` directory. It gives your agent a structured procedure to restart work without losing track of past ideas or cluttering the workspace.

Three reset modes are available. The soft reset writes a summary to `.fpf/sessions/` and moves active hypotheses into an archive folder. The hard reset clears out all markdown files from knowledge levels, evidence, and decisions. Because hard reset wipes those files permanently, the agent executes it only upon explicit confirmation.

The third mode resets decisions while keeping gathered knowledge intact. It downgrades validated L2 hypotheses back to L1 for a re-audit, or moves L1 hypotheses back to L0 for verification.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill reset -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/reset/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/reset/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill reset -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/reset/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill reset -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/reset/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit reset
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/reset/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill reset -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --path skills/reset
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/reset/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit --skill reset -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit/tree/HEAD/skills/reset/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- archive active session hypotheses into `.fpf/sessions/`
- wipe knowledge and evidence directories for a clean restart
- move L2 hypotheses back to L1 for re-auditing
- re-verify initial assumptions by rolling L1 items back to L0

## Example prompts
- Perform a soft reset on the current FPF cycle and archive all hypotheses
- Do a hard reset and clear all files in the .fpf directories
- Reset decisions by moving L2 hypotheses back to L1 for re-evaluation
