Reset Cycle

Reset the FPF reasoning cycle to start fresh.

Action (Run-Time)

Option 1: Soft Reset (Archive Current Session)

Create a session archive and clear active work:

• Create Session Archive

Create a file in .fpf/sessions/ to record the completed/abandoned session:

In .fpf/sessions/session-2025-01-15-reset.md

id: session-2025-01-15-reset action: reset created: 2025-01-15T16:00:00Z reason: user_requested

Session Archive: 2025-01-15

Reset Reason: User requested fresh start

State at Reset

Hypotheses

• L0: 2 (proposed)
• L1: 1 (verified)
• L2: 0 (validated)
• Invalid: 1 (rejected)

Files Archived

• .fpf/knowledge/L0/hypothesis-a.md
• .fpf/knowledge/L0/hypothesis-b.md
• .fpf/knowledge/L1/hypothesis-c.md

Decision Status

No decision was finalized.

Notes

Session ended without decision. Hypotheses preserved for potential future reference.

• Move Active Work to Archive (Optional)

If user wants to clear the knowledge directories:

mkdir -p .fpf/archive/session-2025-01-15 mv .fpf/knowledge/L0/.md .fpf/archive/session-2025-01-15/ 2>/dev/null || true mv .fpf/knowledge/L1/.md .fpf/archive/session-2025-01-15/ 2>/dev/null || true mv .fpf/knowledge/L2/*.md .fpf/archive/session-2025-01-15/ 2>/dev/null || true

• Report to User

Reset Complete

Session archived to: .fpf/sessions/session-2025-01-15-reset.md

Current state:

• L0: 0 hypotheses
• L1: 0 hypotheses
• L2: 0 hypotheses

Ready for new reasoning cycle. Run /fpf:propose-hypotheses to start.

Option 2: Hard Reset (Delete All)

WARNING: This permanently deletes all FPF data.

rm -rf .fpf/knowledge/L0/.md rm -rf .fpf/knowledge/L1/.md rm -rf .fpf/knowledge/L2/.md rm -rf .fpf/knowledge/invalid/.md rm -rf .fpf/evidence/.md rm -rf .fpf/decisions/.md

Only do this if explicitly requested by user.

Option 3: Decision Reset (Keep Knowledge)

If user wants to re-evaluate existing hypotheses:

• Move L2 hypotheses back to L1 (re-audit)

• Or move L1 hypotheses back to L0 (re-verify)

Re-audit: L2 -> L1

mv .fpf/knowledge/L2/*.md .fpf/knowledge/L1/

Re-verify: L1 -> L0

mv .fpf/knowledge/L1/*.md .fpf/knowledge/L0/
