Skill Rollback

# List all octo checkpoints with dates
git tag -l "octo-checkpoint-*" --sort=-creatordate --format='%(refname:short)|%(creatordate:short)|%(contents:subject)'

## Available Checkpoints

| Tag | Created | Description |
|-----|---------|-------------|
| octo-checkpoint-post-discover-20260203-143022 | 2026-02-03 | After Discover phase |
| octo-checkpoint-post-define-20260203-150145 | 2026-02-03 | After Define phase |

Usage: `/octo:rollback <tag-name>`

No checkpoints found. Checkpoints are created automatically after each Octopus phase.

To create a manual checkpoint:
  git tag -a octo-checkpoint-manual-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) -m "Manual checkpoint"

# Check if tag exists
git tag -l "$CHECKPOINT_TAG" | grep -q . || echo "TAG_NOT_FOUND"

Checkpoint '$CHECKPOINT_TAG' not found.

Available checkpoints:
[show list output]

# Get list of files that will be changed
git diff --name-status HEAD $CHECKPOINT_TAG

## Rollback Preview

**Rolling back to:** `octo-checkpoint-post-discover-20260203-143022`
**Created:** 2026-02-03 14:30:22
**Description:** After Discover phase

### Files That Will Be Changed

| Status | File |
|--------|------|
| M | src/auth/login.ts |
| D | src/auth/oauth.ts |
| A | src/legacy/old-auth.ts |

Legend: M=Modified, D=Deleted, A=Added (relative to current state)

### Protected Files (Will NOT be changed)
- `.octo/LESSONS.md` - Lessons are always preserved

To confirm this rollback, type ROLLBACK exactly.

Any other input will cancel.

# Generate timestamp
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)

# Create safety checkpoint
git tag -a "octo-checkpoint-pre-rollback-$TIMESTAMP" -m "Safety checkpoint before rollback to $CHECKPOINT_TAG"

Created safety checkpoint: octo-checkpoint-pre-rollback-$TIMESTAMP

You can return to current state with:
  /octo:rollback octo-checkpoint-pre-rollback-$TIMESTAMP

# Save current LESSONS.md if it exists
if [ -f ".octo/LESSONS.md" ]; then
  cp .octo/LESSONS.md /tmp/LESSONS_PRESERVED.md
  LESSONS_PRESERVED=true
fi

# Restore files from checkpoint (does NOT move HEAD)
git checkout $CHECKPOINT_TAG -- .

# Restore preserved LESSONS.md
if [ "$LESSONS_PRESERVED" = "true" ]; then
  cp /tmp/LESSONS_PRESERVED.md .octo/LESSONS.md
fi

if [ -f ".octo/STATE.md" ]; then
  # Append rollback entry to history
  echo "" >> .octo/STATE.md
  echo "## Rollback - $(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')" >> .octo/STATE.md
  echo "" >> .octo/STATE.md
  echo "- **Target:** $CHECKPOINT_TAG" >> .octo/STATE.md
  echo "- **Safety checkpoint:** octo-checkpoint-pre-rollback-$TIMESTAMP" >> .octo/STATE.md
  echo "- **Reason:** User requested rollback" >> .octo/STATE.md
fi

Rollback Complete

**Restored to:** `$CHECKPOINT_TAG`
**Files restored:** N files
**LESSONS.md:** Preserved (not rolled back)

**Safety checkpoint created:** `octo-checkpoint-pre-rollback-$TIMESTAMP`

### Next Steps

1. Review the restored files
2. Commit the rollback if satisfied:
   ```bash
   git add -A && git commit -m "chore: rollback to $CHECKPOINT_TAG"

## Safety Measures

| Measure | Implementation |
|---------|----------------|
| **Always create safety checkpoint** | Pre-rollback tag created BEFORE any file changes |
| **Preserve LESSONS.md** | Copy before rollback, restore after |
| **Require explicit confirmation** | Must type "ROLLBACK" exactly |
| **Show affected files first** | Preview before confirmation |
| **No history modification** | Uses checkout, not reset |


## Red Flags - Never Do

| Action | Why It's Dangerous |
|--------|-------------------|
| Rollback without confirmation | Loses work unexpectedly |
| Skip safety checkpoint | No recovery path |
| Rollback LESSONS.md | Loses accumulated knowledge |
| Use `git reset --hard` | Destroys commit history |
| Force push after rollback | Affects collaborators |
| Delete checkpoint tags | Removes recovery points |


## Checkpoint Tag Format

All Octopus checkpoints follow this format:

Examples:
- `octo-checkpoint-post-discover-20260203-143022`
- `octo-checkpoint-post-define-20260203-150145`
- `octo-checkpoint-pre-rollback-20260203-161530`
- `octo-checkpoint-manual-20260203-170000`


## Quick Reference

| Command | Action |
|---------|--------|
| `/octo:rollback` | List available checkpoints |
| `/octo:rollback list` | List available checkpoints |
| `/octo:rollback <tag>` | Rollback to specific checkpoint |


## The Bottom Line

**Show preview. Require "ROLLBACK". Create safety tag. Preserve lessons. Execute safely.**
