Git-aware undo by logical work unit (track, phase, or task)

Documentation

Revert Track

Revert changes by logical work unit with full git awareness. Supports reverting entire tracks, specific phases, or individual tasks.

Use this skill when

  • Working on revert track tasks or workflows
  • Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for revert track

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to revert track
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Pre-flight Checks

  1. Verify Conductor is initialized:

    • Check conductor/tracks.md exists
    • If missing: Display error and suggest running /conductor:setup first
  2. Verify git repository:

    • Run git status to confirm git repo

    • Check for uncommitted changes

    • If uncommitted changes exist:

      WARNING: Uncommitted changes detected
      
      Files with changes:
      {list of files}
      
      Options:
      1. Stash changes and continue
      2. Commit changes first
      3. Cancel revert
      
  3. Verify git is clean enough to revert:

    • No merge in progress
    • No rebase in progress
    • If issues found: Halt and explain resolution steps

Target Selection

If argument provided:

Parse the argument format:

Full track: {trackId}

  • Example: auth_20250115
  • Reverts all commits for the entire track

Specific phase: {trackId}:phase{N}

  • Example: auth_20250115:phase2
  • Reverts commits for phase N and all subsequent phases

Specific task: {trackId}:task{X.Y}

  • Example: auth_20250115:task2.3
  • Reverts commits for task X.Y only

If no argument:

Commit Discovery

For Task Revert

  1. Search git log for task-specific commits:

    git log --oneline --grep="{trackId}" --grep="Task {X.Y}" --all-match
    
  2. Also find the plan.md update commit:

    git log --oneline --grep="mark task {X.Y} complete" --grep="{trackId}" --all-match
    
  3. Collect all matching commit SHAs

For Phase Revert

  1. Determine task range for the phase by reading plan.md

  2. Search for all task commits in that phase:

    git log --oneline --grep="{trackId}" | grep -E "Task {N}\.[0-9]"
    
  3. Find phase verification commit if exists

  4. Find all plan.md update commits for phase tasks

  5. Collect all matching commit SHAs in chronological order

For Full Track Revert

  1. Find ALL commits mentioning the track:

    git log --oneline --grep="{trackId}"
    
  2. Find track creation commits:

    git log --oneline -- "conductor/tracks/{trackId}/"
    
  3. Collect all matching commit SHAs in chronological order

Execution Plan Display

Before any revert operations, display full plan:

================================================================================
                           REVERT EXECUTION PLAN
================================================================================

Target: {description of what's being reverted}

Commits to revert (in reverse chronological order):
  1. abc1234 - feat: add chart rendering (dashboard_20250112)
  2. def5678 - chore: mark task 2.3 complete (dashboard_20250112)
  3. ghi9012 - feat: add data hooks (dashboard_20250112)
  4. jkl3456 - chore: mark task 2.2 complete (dashboard_20250112)

Files that will be affected:
  - src/components/Dashboard.tsx (modified)
  - src/hooks/useData.ts (will be deleted - was created in these commits)
  - conductor/tracks/dashboard_20250112/plan.md (modified)

Plan updates:
  - Task 2.2: [x] -> [ ]
  - Task 2.3: [~] -> [ ]

================================================================================
                              !! WARNING !!

This operation will:
- Create {N} revert commits
- Modify {M} files
- Reset {P} tasks to pending status

This CANNOT be easily undone without manual intervention.
