/reset-epic - Reset Epic Test Data

Fully resets an epic so it can be re-tested from scratch.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Usage

/reset-epic <epic-number>     # e.g. /reset-epic 287, to reset that epic for retesting

What It Does

Given an epic issue number, perform ALL of the following:

  1. Identify stories: Parse the epic body for linked issue numbers
  2. Close open PRs: Find all open PRs referencing any story number or the epic number. Close them.
  3. Delete remote branches: Find and delete any remote branches related to the epic (e.g., epic/<number>-*, feat/<story>-*, revert/epic-<number>-*)
  4. Delete local branches: Delete any local branches matching the same patterns (skip the current branch)
  5. Reopen issues: Reopen all story issues and the epic itself if any were closed
  6. Uncheck task lists: Edit the epic body to uncheck all - [x] checkboxes back to - [ ]
  7. Clear epic-state memory: Delete all entries in the epic-state memory namespace for this epic and its stories (keys: epic-<N>, story-<N> for each story). Use mcp__moflo__memory_list with namespace epic-state to find entries, then mcp__moflo__memory_delete for each.
  8. Verify clean state: Confirm all stories are OPEN, no related PRs are open, no related branches exist, and epic-state memory is empty

Important

  • Never delete main or the current branch
  • Use gh CLI for all GitHub operations
  • If a revert of merged code is needed, note it but DO NOT auto-revert (ask the user first)
  • This is a destructive operation — confirm with the user before executing if there are merged PRs that might need code reverts
