What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents destructive Git rollbacks from losing valuable work by creating traceable snapshots and recording the reasoning behind recovery operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

Safe Rollback Workflow: Archives the current branch state, creates a dedicated archive branch, and resets the working branch to a selected commit.
Decision History Tracking: Maintains ARCHIVE.md records that connect rollback actions with their causes, source commits, and recovery branches.
Use Case: When a development experiment fails, use this Skill to preserve the failed attempt and return the project to a known stable commit without losing investigation history.

Quick Start

Ask the git-snapshot-rollback skill to archive the current failed changes and roll the repository back to the specified commit while preserving a recovery branch.

FAQPage Schema

How do I rollback a Git branch without losing my failed experimental commits?▼

To rollback a Git branch safely, you create a dedicated archive branch capturing the current failed state before resetting the working branch to a target commit. This preserves your experimental history while restoring project stability.

What is the safest Git rollback workflow for failed development attempts?▼

A safe Git rollback workflow archives the current branch state, creates a recovery branch, and updates history records. It connects the rollback action with its cause, ensuring the failed implementation remains accessible for future investigation.

How do I track the reasoning behind Git repository history rollbacks?▼

You track Git repository rollbacks by maintaining ARCHIVE.md records that connect rollback actions with their causes, source commits, and recovery branches. This creates a traceable decision history for all controlled recovery operations.

Can I restore a Git project to a known stable commit while keeping the investigation history?▼

Yes, you can restore the project by archiving the current failed changes into a snapshot branch and resetting the working branch to a stable commit. The archive branch retains the investigation history for later reference.

When should I use a snapshot branch instead of a standard Git reset?▼

Use a snapshot branch when an experimental branch fails but contains valuable investigation work. It archives the state before a standard Git reset, preventing destructive history rewrites from permanently losing your development attempts.
