# Reset Baseline
> **HARD GATE** — Confirm with user before any destructive git operation. Never `reset --hard` without explicit approval.
## Process
1. `git status` — list uncommitted and untracked files.
2. Ask: stash, discard, or keep each category.
3. Safe defaults: `git stash push -u -m "reset-baseline"` for WIP; never force-push.
4. Re-run `setup-environment` after reset.
5. Run test baseline from `kickoff-branch` verify command.
## Verify
→ verify: `git rev-parse --git-dir >/dev/null 2>&1 && test -f skills/reset-baseline/SKILL.md`
