/remove-major-version

<objective>

Remove an entire major version from the project. This is a significant operation that removes all minor versions and tasks within the major. Validates that no incomplete work exists and confirms with the user.

</objective> <process> <step name="verify">

Verify planning structure exists:

[ ! -d .claude/dog ] && echo "ERROR: No planning structure found." && exit 1
[ ! -d .claude/dog/major ] && echo "ERROR: No major versions exist." && exit 1

</step> <step name="select_version">

Determine major version to remove:

If $ARGUMENTS provided:

• Parse as major version number
• Validate version exists

If $ARGUMENTS empty:

List all major versions:

# Find all major versions with statistics
for d in .claude/dog/major/*/; do
    MAJOR=$(basename "$d")
    MINOR_COUNT=$(find "$d/minor" -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "[0-9]*" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
    TASK_COUNT=$(find "$d" -name "STATE.md" -path "*/task/*/STATE.md" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
    STATUS=$(grep "Status:" "$d/STATE.md" 2>/dev/null | sed 's/.*: //' || echo "unknown")
    echo "Major $MAJOR: $MINOR_COUNT minor versions, $TASK_COUNT tasks ($STATUS)"
done

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Select Major Version"
• question: "Which major version do you want to remove?"
• options: [List of majors with stats] + "Cancel"

If "Cancel" -> exit command.

</step> <step name="validate">

Validate major version can be removed:

MAJOR_PATH=".claude/dog/major/$MAJOR"

# Check version exists
[ ! -d "$MAJOR_PATH" ] && echo "ERROR: Major version does not exist" && exit 1

Check for incomplete work:

# Find any tasks that are not completed
INCOMPLETE=$(find "$MAJOR_PATH" -name "STATE.md" -path "*/task/*/STATE.md" \
    -exec grep -l "Status: pending\|Status: in-progress" {} \; 2>/dev/null)

If incomplete tasks exist:

ERROR: Cannot remove major version with incomplete work.

Incomplete tasks found:
{list of incomplete tasks}

Options:
1. Complete all tasks first
2. Remove individual minor versions with /dog:remove-minor-version
3. Force removal (see below)

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Incomplete Work"
• question: "Major version {major} has incomplete work. What would you like to do?"
• options:
  • "Force remove everything" - Delete despite incomplete work
  • "Cancel" - Stop removal

If "Cancel" -> exit command.

</step> <step name="check_dependencies">

Check if later major versions depend on this:

# Check if any later major versions reference this one
LATER_MAJORS=$(find .claude/dog/major -name "STATE.md" -path ".claude/dog/major/[$(($MAJOR+1))-9]*/STATE.md" \
    -exec grep -l "Dependencies:.*$MAJOR" {} \; 2>/dev/null)

If dependents found:

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "Dependency Warning"
• question: "Later major versions may depend on this one completing:\n\n[list]\n\nRemoving may affect project structure. Continue?"
• options:
  • "Yes, remove anyway" - Proceed
  • "No, cancel" - Abort

</step> <step name="gather_stats">

Gather removal statistics:

MINOR_COUNT=$(find "$MAJOR_PATH/minor" -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "[0-9]*" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
TASK_COUNT=$(find "$MAJOR_PATH" -name "STATE.md" -path "*/task/*/STATE.md" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)

</step> <step name="confirm">

Final confirmation (extra serious for major version):

Use AskUserQuestion:

• header: "CONFIRM MAJOR VERSION REMOVAL"
• question: "You are about to remove Major Version {major}.\n\nThis will permanently delete:\n- {minor_count} minor versions\n- {task_count} tasks\n- All associated STATE.md, PLAN.md, CHANGELOG.md files\n\nThis action cannot be undone (except via git). Are you absolutely sure?"
• options:
  • "Yes, permanently remove Major {major}" - Proceed with removal
  • "No, cancel" - Abort removal

If "No, cancel" -> exit command.

</step> <step name="remove">

Remove major version directory:

rm -rf "$MAJOR_PATH"

</step> <step name="update_roadmap">

Update ROADMAP.md:

Remove the entire section for this major version.

</step> <step name="commit">

Commit removal:

git add -A ".claude/dog/"
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
docs: remove major version {major}

Major version removed by user request.
Removed {minor_count} minor versions and {task_count} tasks.
EOF
)"

</step> <step name="done">

Present completion:

Major version removed:

- Version: Major {major}
- Minor versions removed: {minor_count}
- Tasks removed: {task_count}

---

Use `/dog:status` to see current state.

**Note:** You can recover this via git if needed:
```bash
git revert HEAD  # Undo the removal commit
