Is the regenerate command dangerous to use?

While it performs destructive operations like git reset --hard, the skill includes mandatory confirmation prompts and status summaries to prevent accidental data loss.

Does this skill handle untracked files?

Yes, it uses git clean -fd to remove untracked files and directories, ensuring your working tree matches the HEAD commit exactly.

What if I want to save my changes instead of deleting them?

The skill supports a --stash option which moves your current work-in-progress to the Git stash instead of discarding it permanently.

Can I preview what will be deleted before running it?

Yes, you can use the --dry-run flag or review the status and diff summary provided by the skill during its initial workflow step.
