Teardown Command

<ARGUMENT_SYNTAX>

Command Argument Syntax

This command follows the standard space-separated syntax:

• Format: --flag value (NOT --flag=value)
• Multi-word values: MUST be enclosed in double quotes
• Boolean flags: No value needed, just include the flag

Examples

# Correct ✅
/fractary-faber-cloud:teardown --env test

# Incorrect ❌
/fractary-faber-cloud:teardown --env=test

</ARGUMENT_SYNTAX>

Teardown deployed infrastructure in the specified environment.

Usage

/fractary-faber-cloud:teardown --env <environment> [options]

Arguments

• --env <environment> (required): Environment to destroy (test, staging, prod)
• --auto-approve (optional): Skip confirmation prompts (dangerous! Not allowed for production)

Examples

# Teardown test environment (with confirmation)
/fractary-faber-cloud:teardown --env test

# Teardown with auto-confirmation (be careful!)
/fractary-faber-cloud:teardown --env test --auto-approve

Safety

Production Safety: Destroying production infrastructure requires multiple confirmations and cannot use --auto-approve flag.

State Backup: Terraform state is automatically backed up before destruction.

Verification: After destruction, verifies all resources are removed.

Workflow

1. Validate environment exists
2. Backup Terraform state
3. Request confirmation (multiple for production)
4. Execute terraform destroy
5. Verify resource removal
6. Document destruction in deployment history

Production Teardown

For production environments:

• ⚠️ Requires 3 separate confirmations
• ⚠️ User must type environment name to confirm
• ⚠️ --auto-approve flag is rejected
• ⚠️ Extended timeout (30 minutes)
• ⚠️ Additional approval checkpoint after plan review

Non-Production Teardown

For test/staging environments:

• 1 confirmation required (unless --auto-approve flag used)
• Standard timeout (10 minutes)
• Automatic if --auto-approve flag present

After Teardown

Destruction automatically:

• ✅ Backs up Terraform state to infrastructure/backups/
• ✅ Documents destruction in docs/infrastructure/deployments.md
• ✅ Verifies all resources removed from AWS
• ✅ Cleans up workspace (optional)

Error Handling

If destruction fails:

• Shows error output
• Identifies stuck resources (dependencies, protection)
• Suggests resolution steps
• Does NOT continue if critical resources remain

Agent Invocation

This command invokes the infra-manager agent with operation="teardown".

USE AGENT: infra-manager with operation=teardown and environment from --env parameter
