Output

Normal Reset

DevTeam Reset

Current Session: session-20260129-103045-a1b2c3
Status: running (iteration 5)
Command: /devteam:implement --sprint 1

Resetting...

  Session aborted
  Circuit breaker reset
  Temp files cleared

Reset complete. Ready for new session.

Dry Run

DevTeam Reset (Dry Run)

The following actions would be taken:

  [SESSION] Abort session-20260129-103045-a1b2c3
    - Status: running -> aborted
    - Iterations completed: 5
    - Cost incurred: $2.34

  [STATE] Reset circuit breaker
    - Current failures: 3 -> 0
    - State: half-open -> closed

  [FILES] Remove temp files
    - .devteam/autonomous-mode
    - .devteam/current-task.txt

No changes made. Remove --dry-run to execute.

Recovery Scenarios

Stuck Session

# Check what's happening
/devteam:status

# If truly stuck, reset
/devteam:reset --reason "Session stuck on iteration 8"

Circuit Breaker Tripped

# Check status
/devteam:status
# Shows: Circuit Breaker: OPEN (5 consecutive failures)

# Reset to retry
/devteam:reset

# Then retry with different approach
/devteam:implement --sprint 1 --model sonnet

Database Corruption

# If database is corrupted
/devteam:reset --full

# Or reinitialize
rm .devteam/devteam.db
bash scripts/db-init.sh
