Reset Database

Reset Rails database to a clean state.

Usage

/claude-rails-skills:reset [options]

Description

Drops the database, creates a new one, and runs all migrations from scratch. Useful for resetting development databases to a known clean state.

Arguments

• --environment ENV - Rails environment (development, test) - defaults to development
• --force - Skip confirmation prompt (use with caution)
• --verbose - Show detailed output

Examples

/claude-rails-skills:reset

/claude-rails-skills:reset --environment test

/claude-rails-skills:reset --force

When to Use

• Development only - Starting with a clean database
• After pulling major database schema changes from git
• Testing database setup from scratch
• Resetting test database between test runs
• Cleaning up after experimental migrations

Important Notes

• Development/test environments only - Do NOT use on production
• Requires confirmation unless --force is used
• ALL DATA IN DATABASE WILL BE DELETED
• Much faster than rollback + migrate for major changes
• Equivalent to: drop, create, migrate, seed (if seed file exists)

Alternatives

• /claude-rails-skills:rollback - Safe rollback to previous migration
• /claude-rails-skills:migrate - Run pending migrations without resetting
